Round Rock TX Homeowners Look to Archadeck of Austin for Design Expertise and Shade

This Round Rock covered porch expansion featured a new custom pergola and outdoor fireplace Without changing the roof that covered the existing porch, we added quite a bit of space to the porch footprint. We designed a large pergola to cover most of the new porch area. To obtain the amount of shade the clients wanted over the new area – and protection from rain – we covered the pergola with a Polygal sheet that filters UV rays. This kind of cover allows in some of the light that a porch roof would block, providing the homeowners with light and shade at the same time. We constructed the outdoor fireplace with limestone matching the home’s exterior.

Proportion is Key for this Round Rock TX Outdoor Kitchen

4 Project Takeaways:

• Not every outdoor living project needs to be massive to be effective.
• Outdoor kitchen designer Archadeck of Austin can build your outdoor living project to fit the scale of your home.
• It is possible that a simple outdoor kitchen can meet your needs without taking up too much space on your porch, patio, or deck.
• Working with a smaller budget doesn’t have to rule out the luxury of adding an outdoor kitchen to your home. Instead of assuming you can’t afford an outdoor kitchen, start a conversation with your Archadeck of Austin design consultant. You’re likely to find we can design the project you want within a budget you can afford.

While bigger is better for many Texas homeowners, that’s not true for everyone. We were able to design and build exactly what these Round Rock TX clients wanted: an outdoor kitchen sized in proportion to their relatively modest covered patio. They knew exactly what they wanted, and we were happy to deliver it.

A Fair Trade: A Round Rock Deck and Pergola for a Round Rock Patio and Patio Cover

4 Project Takeaways:

• Don’t be afraid to replace a deck with a patio or vice versa. Change can be refreshing.
• If you want complete shade, we recommend adding a roof instead of a pergola for your patio cover.
• It’s possible to add a patio roof that looks original to your home, not added on.
• If you want a larger patio, and you have room for it in your yard and in your budget, build a larger patio. You can add amenities such as an outdoor kitchen or fireplace later.

With years of experience designing and building outdoor living projects, your Archadeck of Austin design consultant knows when to keep talking. Often we can sense when a homeowner is uncertain about what they want, even when they don’t say that. We keep listening. We ask questions and explore ideas that may be new to the client. Such was the case when we designed this Round Rock patio and patio cover. We accomplished the homeowners’ original goals of increasing the size of their outdoor living space and adding a roof for total shade. We did not coerce them to replace their deck with a patio. It was their decision.
