Archadeck of Austin Upgrades Existing Patio In Round Rock’s Vizcaya Neighborhood

The beauty of working with Archadeck of Austin is that you need not spend a fortune to upgrade and improve functionality in your outdoor living spaces.
Here’s living proof.
Project designer, Jim Schallon, carefully listened to the homeowners when they said how they were hoping he and his outdoor building team could add more comfort, usability, and functionality to their existing backyard patio.
The first issue to address was the wind. Sometimes it was so strong that the family had to head back indoors when it was in full force. Cushions and décor items would be blown all over the place. And that is not luxurious, peaceful outdoor living by any stretch of the imagination.
The solution?
How To Tame Strong Winds And Lessen Them To Gentle Breezes
Enclosing the three large open areas of the patio adjacent to the rear of the home with a dependably hefty and strong solar 60% shade screen. Not only does it deflect strong rays of the sun, but its denser fabric and tighter weave block the wind beautifully, achieving the primary objective.


While we were there, the family also requested that we add an extension to the patio they already had to accommodate an open-air grilling space at the far end – where an occasional burst of wind actually adds to the grilling experience – without negatively impacting family members and guests in the newly screened-in patio.

This patio extension also now serves as a sun deck for catching some rays when the family wishes to sunbathe. It is easily accessible from the screened patio via a screen door. And from the backyard lawn, it is a mere two-step ascent.
The floor of this patio extension was beautifully crafted with an overlay on the entire space in a decorative concrete finish. We used a lime coat process in a running bond design that allowed us to match the flooring that was inside the home.
To heighten the aesthetic flow of the newly expanded outdoor living space, this also allows the homeowners to open their existing bi-fold doors to the new screened area and use both the interior and exterior living space simultaneously.
