Arbors in Southlake
Shade is a big deal in Southlake, Texas, and an arbor is one way to bring it into your yard. Extreme summer heat can make a bare patio hard to use by afternoon, so an arbor over a seating area or along the path to the pool gives you a cooler place to sit. Heath Wharton designs each one to suit your house, which matters on custom and luxury homes from the 1990s to the 2010s with their strong rooflines and stone details. Hail is the other concern, because storms can damage structures near the pool, so we plan the build for durability. Because estate lots are wide, an arbor can also frame a view toward Grapevine Lake or screen the yard from the street. Your HOA guidelines stay in view, and we take care of permits and inspections so you do not have to. Ask about an arbor at a free design consultation, online or over the phone.

What Southlake backyards are up against
Extreme summer heat
Summer heat in Southlake can keep a beautiful yard empty. We plan shade first, then add water features and comfortable seating so the space is used. Patio covers, arbors and pool houses all help, and each is designed to match your home.
