Looking for deck builders in Round Rock, TX? All Seasons Decks & Gazebos has built decks, covered patios, pergolas, screened porches and gazebos in Round Rock from our Liberty Hill shop, family-owned since 1984. Most Round Rock projects land between $15,000 and $45,000, we handle the City of Round Rock permit and your HOA review, and you get a fixed written quote within 24 hours of our visit.

Round Rock is Williamson County's largest city, and it straddles two kinds of ground: limestone on the west side and Blackland clay to the east. It also has some of the clearest published permit rules in the area, down to the fee for an uncovered deck. We build decks, covered patios, pergolas, gazebos and screened porches in Round Rock and handle the city permit and HOA approval.

"Round Rock is easy to plan if you start with the city's rules. Five feet off the side and back property lines, nothing in an easement, and the review takes a while. So we lay the deck out against your survey on day one. Then we look at the dirt, because the west side and the east side are two different jobs."

Building a Deck or Patio in Round Rock: What to Know

Permits in Round Rock

Round Rock permits are issued by the City of Round Rock under the 2024 IRC. The city quotes about 30 business days for review, keeps structures out of easements and 5 ft side and rear setbacks, and includes two inspections of each type. We handle the application and inspections.

HOA approval

Most Round Rock subdivisions built since the 1990s have an HOA with architectural review. Teravista, Forest Creek, Behrens Ranch and Paloma Lake are typical: the committee wants a site plan, dimensions, materials and colors, and approval comes before the city permit. Some older central neighborhoods have no HOA. We check your deed restrictions and submit for you.

Soil and footings

Round Rock sits on the Balcones Fault Zone. West of I-35, neighborhoods like Behrens Ranch and Cat Hollow tend to have limestone close to the surface. East of the interstate, the Blackland Prairie clay is deep and highly expansive. Rock lots get drilled footings; clay lots get footings designed for soil movement and grading that moves water away.

Weather and materials

  • Afternoon sun on west-facing yards pushes deck surfaces well past air temperature. Plan shade or lighter boards.
  • Spring storms bring hail and wind, so cover roofs should be metal or insulated panels with rated fasteners.
  • Clay soil east of I-35 swells in wet springs and shrinks in dry summers.
  • Mild winters mean a covered patio with a heater gets use nearly year-round.

Tips from our crew

  • Find your plat before we meet. The easements on it often decide the deck size more than the yard does.
  • Count about 30 business days for city review, plus HOA time, when you set a target date.
  • If you plan to add fans or lights later, run the conduit now. Adding electrical after the fact means a new permit.
  • On east-side clay lots, keep sprinklers from soaking footings. Steady moisture keeps clay from swelling unevenly.

Round Rock-Specific Considerations

Setbacks and Easements

The challenge: Round Rock does not allow decks and accessory structures to encroach into easements or the 5 ft side and rear setbacks. Many backyards have a utility or drainage easement along the back fence.

How we handle it: We lay the design out against your plat and survey before quoting, so the deck or cover fits the buildable area and passes review the first time.

A Long Review Window

The challenge: The City of Round Rock quotes about 30 business days for permit review, which surprises homeowners planning for a spring party.

How we handle it: We file as soon as the design is final and HOA approval is in, and we tell you the realistic start date up front instead of promising a quick turnaround.

Two Kinds of Soil

The challenge: West Round Rock tends toward limestone and thin soil, while east of I-35 the Blackland clay is deep and expansive.

How we handle it: We check the soil on every lot and choose footing depth and design to match, with drainage that keeps water away from posts on clay lots.

"We moved from California and wanted a proper Texas outdoor space. All Seasons built us a massive covered patio with a built-in grill area. Every weekend we have neighbors over, and everyone asks who built it. The quality is noticeably better than decks we see in other backyards."

FAQs for Round Rock Homeowners

Both. We repair and replace decks in Round Rock as well as build new ones. A repair visit starts with the framing, ledger and footings, not just the boards, because that is what decides repair versus replace. Structural repairs and railing replacement often need a City of Round Rock permit, and we handle it when they do.

Yes. The City of Round Rock issues permits for decks, covered patios, pergolas and gazebos under the 2024 IRC; Williamson County does not issue them. Fees are $125 for an uncovered deck, $200 for a covered patio, and $300 with electrical or plumbing. A pergola or gazebo is $125, or $300 with utilities. We handle the application and inspections.

The City of Round Rock quotes about 30 business days for review, roughly six weeks. Add HOA approval before that. For a deck you want ready by a certain date, start planning about three months ahead.

Not into the 5 ft side and rear setbacks, and not into any easement. Many Round Rock lots have an easement along the back, which can push the buildable line in further. We check your plat before designing.

Accessory structures are limited to 15 ft in height. That leaves plenty of room for a pergola or a gazebo with a pitched roof, but it matters on a tall roof design or a structure set on a raised deck.

A 12x20 aluminum cover is $15,000 to $22,000, a 14x24 cedar beam patio is $28,000 to $38,000, and a 16x20 insulated cover with fans is $32,000 to $45,000 in our published pricing. Adding fans or lights moves the permit fee from $200 to $300.

It can. Lots along Brushy Creek and its tributaries may include mapped floodplain, which limits what can be built and where. We check the flood map for your lot before we design.
