Why fix drainage before adding a patio in The Colony?
The Colony was founded in 1973 as a development of single-family homes on about 3,000 acres, and many of its original yards are now settled and sloped in ways nobody planned. On older yards, drainage usually needs fixing before anything else can go in. Walk the yard after rain and note where water stands or runs toward the house. Shallow ponding under a new slab can undermine it, so the grade comes first. Then the patio and fencing, which in neighborhoods of that age are often due for replacement, can be planned together with a patio cover in the right spot.
How does Lewisville Lake affect shade structures in The Colony?
About 23 miles of Lewisville Lake shoreline, including two peninsulas, lie inside the city. Open ground near the water tends to catch more wind, so shade structures are anchored and placed with the breeze in mind. Mature trees from the original planting also shape where a cover can sensibly go, since branches that look fine now can drop limbs on a roof. A pergola has an open top that lets wind pass through, which is worth asking about on exposed lots. Also check the age of your windows while you are planning, since the same era of homes tends to need both.

“American Eagle installed new windows, put in new siding on half our house and checked the other half to make sure it was still on good shape, replaced a garage door and front door, and added a beautiful new storm door. My son has asked for their number! They even managed to retain the Tudor effect on the siding. But my favorite is definitely the new windows! Love that we can now enjoy a breeze without worrying about pets tearing up the screens since we can now open the windows from the top! SO HAPPY with the job they did. Thank you American Eagle Builders!”

“American Eagle Builders did a fantastic job on our patio. From the concrete, the patio cover and the sliding patio door, their attention to details and professionalism were top notch. Their building staff can be trusted to effectively communicate with you throughout the phases and to do the job right the first time without cutting corners.”
