Part Three: Patio Cover Construction
The third and final part of this Mission Viejo Patio Remodel is this custom wood balcony to patio cover tie in. Our expert teams took the previously bland space and added this important new element. The sturdy custom wood balcony construction adds a whole new space to the house. With a view like this home has, the balcony addition was absolutely essential to maximizing the potential of this family’s backyard space. If you want to capitalize on your view, call TRU Landscape for professional patio cover construction.
In a warm climate like Orange County, backyard shade is absolutely essential for entertaining guests! The previously wide open backyard now has several square feet of shade provided by this new patio cover. It is 10-15 degrees cooler in the shade than in direct sunlight. A patio cover also provides the option of installing overhead misters. Rain or shine, a patio cover is an excellent addition to any backyard space.

Customize your Patio Cover Installation
There are other options for patio cover construction from variations on columns, lighting fixtures, and tongue in groove construction style. We can wrap your posts with a decorative pilaster. This will add interest to the columns of your new patio cover. They also make a great landing area to place potted plants. There are many options. We could add a simple stucco finish, or we could attach just about any stone from slate to stacked stone.

Landscape Lighting Orange County
TRU Landscape Services is also a full service landscape lighting technician. We install high grade low voltage LED lighting systems. The small lights pictured here are LED and save a lot of power while still sufficiently lighting the outdoor space. Other options include can lighting. A can light is built flush to the ceiling of a patio cover and is a 120 volt light. They are a little bit brighter, give a different look, and give you the option of hooking up a dimmer switch to your system so you can set mood lighting. Another LED lighting options include up lighting to shed light on your plants, pool, or home at night time.
Custom Patio Cover Styles
Our Orange County patio covers come in many styles. There is the open lattice patio cover like the one pictured here. We also install many solid roof style patio covers. It all depends on your home’s style and the functionality that you hope to get out of the patio cover. We can do a full roof tie in for a seamless new outdoor area as well.
Once the space was finished and the homeowners had settled into their new outdoor living area, they sent TRU Landscape some pictures to show us the finished product. The patio cover provided a place to hang lights over their new outdoor dining table. They told us how much they love sitting on their newly constructed balcony and watching the sun set over Mission Viejo.
The complete backyard landscape remodel really made some happy customers! With the barbecue island, stamped concrete, low voltage lighting, and custom patio cover, the family was thrilled with their new space.
Call TRU Landscape Services for sturdy landscape construction will last a lifetime.
