Why people call about this.
The patio is too hot to use
An open patio in Bryan in July is a place to cross, not to sit. Shade changes that.
The space needs definition
A pergola marks out a room in the yard — the dining area, the kitchen, the fire pit.
A full roof is more than you need
A pergola is lighter, costs less, and keeps the house from losing light the way a solid roof can.
NAVASOTA, TX
Pergolas in Navasota: what’s different here.
Navasota is a town of about 7,600 people (2020 census) in Grimes County on a bend of the Navasota River, the largest town in the county. It grew as a railroad shipping center in the 1800s, keeps a historic downtown of stone and brick buildings, and was named the Blues Capital of Texas by the Legislature in 2005. Inside city limits, fences and other construction are permitted through the City of Navasota Building & Permitting Office on East McAlpine Street, with applications filed through the city’s online portal; outside town, Grimes County rules apply.
Outdoor Structures in Navasota
Inside city limits structures go through the city’s online permit portal, while shops and barns on acreage outside town follow Grimes County rules instead.
The ground
Grimes County uplands are gray sandy loams over clay subsoil, with dark clay alluvium in the Navasota River floodplain, so drainage and base depth depend heavily on which side of town and how close to the river a property is.
Homes and lots
Older homes on in-town lots near downtown, newer subdivisions such as Pecan Lakes Estates at the golf course, and acreage homes in the county around town.
