Patio Covers, Pergolas, and Shade Structures
A well-built patio gives you a space to relax, eat, and spend time outside. Whether you want concrete, pavers, or cover from the sun, we offer plenty of choices to fit your space.
Concrete Patios
Concrete gives you a strong, low-maintenance spot to use for years.
- Stamped Concrete: Looks like brick, stone, or wood—without the cost.
- Colored Concrete: Adds natural tones that work with your home and yard.
- Textured Surfaces: Safer underfoot and adds a bit of style.
Paver Patios
Pavers give a classic, long-lasting look and can be customized in many ways. Unlike poured concrete, they move with the ground, which helps avoid cracks.
- Brick Pavers: Classic style and strong for long-term use.
- Stone Pavers: Natural options like slate or flagstone create a more rugged look.
- Concrete Pavers: Made to mimic pricier materials without the high cost.
- Permeable Pavers: These let water soak through to reduce runoff.
Pergolas and Patio Covers
For year-round comfort, adding a shade structure can transform your patio into a functional outdoor retreat.
- Pergolas: Open-beam structures that provide partial shade while maintaining an airy, open feel.
- Patio Covers: Solid or louvered covers that offer complete protection from sun and rain, extending your patio’s usability in all weather conditions.
- Retractable Awnings: Adjustable shade options allow you to control sunlight and airflow as needed.
