Pergolas and shade

Shade structures that make the yard usable.

Pergolas and shade structures built for Houston heat and humidity, planned with the patio, lighting and planting so they give your outdoor room real architecture.

Beat the heat

Shade is what turns a patio into a place you stay.

In Houston, an unshaded patio sits empty most of the year. A well-built pergola cuts the heat, frames the space and gives the yard a sense of architecture. We build them anchored and finished for our climate, and coordinate them with the patio, lighting and planting.

Custom pergolas and shade structures

Built for heat and humidity

Coordinated with the whole yard

Materials and proportions matched to your home, patio and planting so it reads as one design.

Lighting and fans built in

Optional wiring for lights and fans so the space works after dark and on still summer days.

Shade we build

Designed as part of the outdoor room.

Freestanding pergolas, covered kitchens and modern shade, plus patio covers tied to the house that extend living space right off the back door. Each is planned with the surface underneath.
