Decks, Porches and Pergolas in West Lake Hills

What the Ground Is Like in West Lake Hills

West Lake Hills sits on steep limestone hills just west of downtown Austin.

Expect that kind of ground in most yards in and around West Lake Hills.

That matters because the ground under a deck, porch or pergola decides how long it stays level. We look at your soil and slope during the estimate and build for what we find.

Decks, Patios, Porches and Pergolas in West Lake Hills

One crew plans and builds the whole outdoor space, so the deck, the cover and the steps line up.

• Decks in wood or composite
• Patios and covered patios
• Front and back porches
• Patio enclosures and screened porches
• Pergolas, attached or freestanding

Sloped lots are why raised decks are so common here. We use taller posts, bracing and footings set into firm ground or rock.

Shade and Covered Patios in West Lake Hills

Shade is what makes a backyard usable in a Central Texas summer.

• Covered patios and patio covers that tie into your roof or stand on their own posts
• Pergolas for filtered shade over a deck or patio
• Patio enclosures and screened porches to keep the bugs out

Hill Country lots often face long views and hard afternoon sun, so covered patios and pergolas get a lot of use here. Rock close to the surface means footings are cut in, not just dug.
