Outdoor Patio Covers

Patio covers are functional landscape features that provide shade, define outdoor living spaces, and add architectural interest to a garden. Whether attached to a home or built as a freestanding structure, a well-designed patio cover can make outdoor areas more comfortable and usable throughout the year. During the design process, it is important to consider factors such as sun exposure, shade patterns, privacy, and the amount of natural light entering the home.

Patio covers can be customized in a variety of styles, including open-beam, open lattice, pitched-roof and solid-roof designs. Trellises and arbors can be used to create shade, enhance privacy, support climbing plants, or establish focal points within the landscape. The most successful designs are those that complement the home’s architecture while meeting the functional needs of the outdoor space.

Material selection plays a significant role in both the appearance and longevity of a patio cover. We commonly build with wood to give a natural aesthetic that complements outdoor environment, stained to showcase the wood grain. However, there is maintenance that comes with that. We also build with steel which offers durability and can be painted to coordinate with the home’s architecture. Aluminum prefabricated products are also long lasting with powder coated finishes and integrated amenities such as heaters and lights. Additional design elements such as stone or tile veneer, brick, or cast concrete columns, retaining walls or seat walls can further integrate the structure into the overall landscape design.

We provide complete design-build services for custom patio covers, trellises, arbors, and other overhead structures as a part of your overall landscape design and construction package. Our team manages every phase of the project, from design and permitting through construction and installation, ensuring that each structure is built to enhance both the beauty and functionality of the landscape.
