Patio Covers and Pergolas in Austin, TX
SHADE, COMFORT, AND STYLE BUILT FOR OUTDOOR LIVINGA patio cover or pergola gives Austin homeowners real shade, protection from sun and rain, and more room to enjoy the backyard. Every yard is different, so our design starts with how you plan to use the space day to day. As an experienced patio builder in Austin, we turn that plan into a covered patio or pergola that works like a true extension of your home.
Why Patio Covers and Pergolas Matter in Austin
Austin homeowners know how hard it is to stay outside during a Central Texas summer. Without shade, patios and backyards sit empty for much of the year. A covered patio or pergola makes outdoor living comfortable again by blocking the harsh sun, cutting the heat, and adding protection from sudden rain. Shading your windows and walls can also help lower indoor cooling costs. Whether you want a fully covered patio for all-weather use or an open pergola that filters sunlight while keeping airflow, the right shade structure adds comfort you will actually use.
Custom Patio Cover and Pergola Design Options
Every property has different needs, so our patio cover and pergola designs are fully customizable. Materials range from classic cedar and wood to durable steel, aluminum, or composite, each with its own look and upkeep. We tailor the style to your home, whether you want a clean modern pergola, a rustic cedar patio cover, or a traditional structure that fits an established neighborhood. Many homeowners add outdoor fans, lighting, privacy screens, or climbing plants to make the space more useful and personal. Our goal is a finished build that fits your home and the way your family lives.
Common Features in Our Austin Patio & Pergola Projects
Every project is different, but most of our patio covers and pergolas in Austin include a mix of these features:
- Open-air pergolas with lattice or slatted roofs
- Solid patio covers for full shade and weather protection
- Cedar, steel, or decorative stone columns
- Outdoor fans and integrated lighting
- Privacy screens and trellises for added seclusion
- Shaded dining or kitchen areas that extend outdoor living
From a small backyard addition to a complete outdoor living upgrade, a covered patio or pergola creates a comfortable, usable space that adds lasting value to your Austin home.

Get Started with LandscapingPatio Covers and Pergolas Designed for the Austin Climate
Austin sun is intense, and summer afternoons push most backyard patios into disuse for months at a time. A shade structure that looks great but was not designed for our heat and weather will fail fast. We have been building patio covers and pergolas across the Austin area since 2018, and every structure we design accounts for the conditions that make outdoor living here both challenging and rewarding.
Good drainage is as important as shade, because Central Texas storms can drop inches of rain in an hour. We plan every cover around both sun and water, so your new outdoor space holds up through dry spells and wet seasons alike. Our team is based in Bastrop, and we build shade structures for homes in Austin and the Central Texas towns around it.
- Intense afternoon sun from the west and south that calls for careful cover orientation and deep overhangs.
- Heavy spring and summer storms that require solid anchoring, proper drainage, and water-resistant materials.
- Expansive clay soil under footings that we account for with the right post depth and footing design.
- Strong seasonal winds that demand engineered supports and braced post connections.
- Serving Austin, Westlake, Lakeway, Bee Cave, Dripping Springs, Cedar Park, Georgetown, Leander, and Round Rock.

Patio Cover & Pergola Builder in Austin, TX FAQs
What is the difference between a covered patio and a pergola?
A covered patio has a solid roof that keeps out sun and rain completely, while a pergola has an open or slatted top that filters light and lets air move through. Both are great options depending on how much coverage you want and how you plan to use the space.
Do you design and build, or just build?
We handle both. Our process starts with a free on-site consultation where we talk through your goals and the layout, then we develop a plan before any building begins. The same team that designs your project builds it, so the vision stays consistent from start to finish.
What materials do you use for patio covers and pergolas in Austin?
We work with cedar and other durable timber for wood pergolas, powder-coated aluminum and steel for metal structures, and matching roofing materials for covered patios that tie into your home. We help you choose based on your budget, the look you want, and how much upkeep you are comfortable with.
How long does a pergola or covered patio take to build?
Most patio cover and pergola projects take one to two weeks from start to finish, depending on the size and complexity. We give you a clear schedule before we start so you know what to expect.

We had Ean and crew add an extension to our driveway and reroute sprinklers. The work was slows down by city permits issues but they were very patient with that and finished soon after permits were approved. Very happy with the work. Would use them again in a second.

Ian was so easy to work with and really communicative. We had our backyard redone with sod and he found the grass that would work best for our yard and gave us in depth instructions on how to make sure it roots and grows. His team was efficient and they did a fantastic job. We’re so excited to see how it does and would absolutely recommend for anyone looking for landscape design.

Ean and the team at 512 Luxury & Design exceeded my expectations. He walked through the project with me, listened to my ideas, and added his own expert input. He then put everything together in a digital format and sent it over for review. When the team arrived, they brought the vision to life flawlessly. I highly recommend Ean and his team for their professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail!

512 Luxury landscaping is a solid choice in your landscaping and construction needs! Ean and his crew do impeccable work, kind, timely, and is the best contractor I’ve ever worked with! What sets Ean apart is that he aims to educate the client. I’ve worked with many contractors that just do-as-told and then show up with their crew and you’re in shock, not knowing the process and procedures. Construction and landscaping is much more meticulous, strategic and demands strong communication than the novice knows- until they experience it for the first time. Ean is professional, communicative, has creativity and a best-bang-for-your-buck-attitude. There were times when I needed someone to step in a take control and he knew exactly when to do this- whilst simultaneously balancing knowing that as the customers, we need full transparency of what needs to happen and what to expect. Ean was additionally helpful calling out prior contractors incorrect work. So much to the point where I was empowered with the knowledge he gave me to call-out said contractors to come back and do the job the right way. You can’t go wrong with 512 luxury landscaping. I’ve referred many friends to them and hope this review is helpful to you making your decision on hiring a contractor.

Several friends referred me to 512 Luxury Landscape Design for my latest home improvement project and we're glad they did. They installed a concrete sidewalk, outdoor wall sconce, and river rock landscape treatment. We think landscaping with rock is great because it cuts down on maintenance of having to add mulch seasonally. Fair pricing, great communication, and creative design ideas is why it was a pleasure working with Ian and his entire team. We highly recommend Luxury Landscape Design the next time you want to elevate your outdoor space.

- Margo Wickersham Google review ·Read on Google: review by Margo Wickersham (opens in a new tab)
Ean Nambo has a great eye for design and practicality that is more important for Austin area homeowners now than ever. We had a functional problem of water pooling at our front door during heavy rains. We had a design problem of a front yard that was 20% grass and 80% weeds that required mowing and turned brown during droughts. I challenged Ean to help me create a xeriscaped front yard that diverts water away from our house and into the street and that looks like the updated and modern home that we've created. I wanted to avoid installing a lawn that would be thirsty for water in our climate and I had some ideas for including a dry creek running through the property. I am thrilled with the results! I love the look and the dry creek bed did its job during a recent deluge. Ean had ideas to make the most of a courtyard area that converted the space into an additional gathering area and I couldn't be happier with the result. He also included dramatic landscape lighting installation that showcases the lovely texture of the limestone exterior and the grace of our live oaks that have survived the recent freezes. I wanted to avoid over planting, so as we planted a few things. I'm happy with this strategy, because I can see which plants work best in which areas for future plantings. Rarely can a homeowner say they are so happy with the results of working with a landscape company, so I am thrilled to share met experience with others considering 512 Luxury Landscaping.
