Custom Pergolas for Austin Backyards

A pergola is one of the most impactful additions you can make to an Austin backyard. It defines the outdoor living space, provides partial shade, creates a framework for climbing plants like Confederate jasmine or wisteria, and adds architectural character to properties that might otherwise have a plain concrete slab patio.

Jay's Construction Contractors builds pergolas to custom dimensions — not the cookie-cutter kit sizes you see at big box stores. Whether you need a 10x12 attached patio pergola on the back of your Hyde Park cottage or a 20x24 freestanding structure over a pool deck in Westlake Hills, we design to your space and build with materials that will last in the Texas climate.

Cedar is our material of choice for Austin pergolas. It naturally resists the moisture and insect pressures that accelerate wood decay in Central Texas, and it weathers to a beautiful silver-gray patina if left untreated. We also work with pressure-treated pine for clients on tighter budgets, and composite materials for those who want a maintenance-free structure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What wood is best for a pergola in Austin TX?

Cedar is the top choice — it resists moisture and insects, weathers beautifully in Texas, and requires no chemical treatment. Pressure-treated pine is a more economical alternative.

Do I need a permit to build a pergola in Austin?

Attached pergolas require a permit. Larger freestanding structures also require permits. We assess your project and pull required permits.

How much does a pergola cost in Austin?

A basic cedar pergola runs $6,000 to $14,000. Larger or custom pergolas with lighting run $15,000 to $35,000+. Our pricing beats specialty outdoor living companies.

Can a pergola be attached to my house?

Yes. Attached pergolas connect to a ledger board on your home's exterior. We handle both the permit and proper structural attachment.
