Shade + Structure

Create shade that looks like it has always belonged to the home.

A pergola, arbor or patio cover can define an outdoor room, provide relief from the Texas sun and add architectural character. The best results feel connected to both the home and the surrounding landscape.

What we can help with

Designed around your property—not a preset package.

We help think through scale, placement, shade goals, roof or open-slat options, finish details and how the structure will meet existing patios, doors and landscape elements. Structures can also be planned as part of a larger outdoor-living project.

  • Custom pergolas and arbors
  • Covered patio structures
  • Cedar and complementary materials
  • Integration with patios and outdoor kitchens
Our process

Start with the site. Build around the goal.

We begin by understanding what you want to change and how the space needs to function. Then we evaluate existing conditions, identify constraints and recommend a practical scope. When several services are involved, we plan the sequence so the pieces work together.

Common questions

Planning shade + structure?

What is the difference between a pergola and a patio cover?

Pergolas typically provide filtered shade through an open or partially open overhead structure, while patio covers are generally designed for more complete weather protection.

Can you build a structure over an existing patio?

In many cases, yes. Existing conditions, dimensions and structural requirements need to be reviewed before a final approach is recommended.

Can the structure match my home?

That is the goal. Proportion, roofline, material choice, stain and trim details can all help a new structure feel integrated with the house.
