Cedar and aluminum shade structures — designed, permitted, and built start to finish by our crew.

Pergolas & Covered Patios FAQs for Garland
What pergola or patio cover material is best for Garland homes?
Cedar delivers a natural look and works well for Garland homeowners who prefer a traditional aesthetic, though it requires periodic sealing to maintain appearance. Aluminum framing is the lowest-maintenance option and resists the corrosion that North Texas humidity and summer storms produce over time. We present both at consultation with honest maintenance expectations and real pricing so you can make an informed choice for your Garland property.
Can you attach a patio cover to an existing concrete slab in Garland?
Yes — we frequently attach patio covers and pergolas to existing concrete slabs throughout Garland neighborhoods. We evaluate the slab thickness, condition, and proximity to the home's roofline before proposing an attachment method. Dallas County clay can cause slab movement over time, so we engineer footings and post connections that account for the specific expansive soil conditions found on your lot rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
Do pergolas require permits in Garland's HOA-governed neighborhoods?
Attached pergolas require building permits through the City of Garland regardless of HOA status. If your home is in a Firewheel-area subdivision or another HOA-managed community along the Sachse Road corridor, design committee approval is typically required before the city permit is filed. We prepare and submit both the HOA approval package and the city building permit application as standard scope on every pergola project we build.
