Pergolas & Covered Patios in Fort Worth
Our home base, and the city we know block by block.
Building in Fort Worth
Fort Worth is home. It is where most of our crews start their morning and where a good share of our work has always been, which means we know the difference between building behind a 1930s brick bungalow in Ryan Place and building behind a 2019 house out in Walsh Ranch. They are not the same job and they should not get the same bid.

Two very different Fort Worths to build in
East of the river, in Arlington Heights, Ryan Place and Bluebonnet Hills, you are working behind homes built in the 1920s through the 1940s — smaller lots, alley access, detached garages, and a mature pecan and live oak canopy that already does half the shading for you. Here the right move is usually a freestanding pergola or a modest attached cover that respects the scale of the house. Oversize a structure behind a 1930s bungalow and it looks like it landed there.
Out west and north — Walsh Ranch, the Alliance corridor, the newer Wedgwood and Mira Vista edges — you get bigger lots and effectively zero mature tree cover. That west-facing Texas sun hits an unshaded patio at four in the afternoon like a wall, and an open-rafter pergola will not fix it. Those backyards want depth and a solid roof.
Soil, and why we go deeper here than you might expect
Fort Worth sits on the Western Cross Timbers and the Grand Prairie — generally sandier loam over limestone as you move west, which behaves better than the heavy Blackland clay east of us in Collin County. That is good news, but "better" is not "stable." We still size and pour footings for the actual span and set posts on standoff bases so end grain never touches concrete.
Where we hit limestone shallow, drilling is slower and it shows up in the bid honestly rather than as a surprise change order in week two.
Permits and historic districts
Fort Worth requires permits for accessory structures, and anything that attaches to the house always does. We pull it, we schedule the inspections, and you get the paperwork at the end.
If you are inside one of the city's historic districts, there is an additional design review layer and it is worth knowing about before you fall in love with a drawing. We have worked through it and will tell you up front what it means for your timeline.

Our Process
How a Fort Worth project goes
No mystery, no moving target. Here is exactly what happens from the first phone call to the last sweep of the driveway.
01
We walk your yard
Nathan comes out, looks at the space, and asks what you actually want to do out there. Where the sun lands at four in the afternoon, where the gas and power are, what the HOA will allow. No sales pitch, no pressure, no charge.
02
A real design, not a guess
You get a drawing with dimensions, material specs and stain colors — enough to see it before it exists and enough to hand to an HOA architectural committee.
03
One number, in writing
An itemized, fixed bid. Everything that is included is on the page. If something genuinely changes, we tell you before we do it, not after. No change-order games.
04
Permits and inspections
We pull the city permit, schedule the inspections, and handle the HOA submittal packet. You do not chase paperwork.
05
We build it and we clean up
A start date you can plan around, a crew that shows up when we say, and a site that gets swept every evening. When we hand it over, it is finished — stained, sealed, and ready.
Common Questions
Building in Fort Worth
Do you build pergolas and patio covers in Fort Worth?
Yes — Fort Worth is part of our regular service area and we work in Tanglewood, Arlington Heights, Ryan Place and throughout Tarrant County. We build custom pergolas, covered patios, pavilions, outdoor kitchens and decks, and we pull the city permit as part of every job.
How much does a pergola or covered patio cost in Fort Worth?
It depends on footprint, roof complexity, ceiling finish and site access — the honest range is wide enough that a number on a web page would be misleading. We walk the space and give you one fixed, itemized bid in writing at no charge.
Do you handle permits and HOA approval in Fort Worth?
Yes. We pull the city permit, schedule inspections, and assemble the HOA architectural submittal packet — elevations, scaled site plan, material specifications and stain color — as part of the project.
