Pergola Installation in Waxahachie, Texas

A pergola gives you usable shade over a patio or a seating area without building a full roof. K&H sizes and sites each one on the property before quoting it, then builds it to stand up to Texas sun, summer heat and the wind that comes across open ground in Ellis County. Siting is most of the job. A pergola in the wrong place shades the lawn at four in the afternoon and leaves the table in full sun at noon, and one sized off a catalogue either crowds the patio or looks marooned on it. We work out where the sun actually falls on your yard, how the structure lines up with the back of the house, and how it relates to anything else going in — a kitchen, a fire feature, a run of beds. Footings are set for clay that moves, and the structure is built to carry what people end up hanging off it: fans, lighting, a screen on the west side. If you want the pergola and the patio and the planting handled as one project rather than three contractors, that is the way we normally do it. The walkthrough and the written quote are free.
