Backyard pergola and outdoor living space at dusk

We design and build pergolas, patio covers, outdoor kitchens, concrete patios and landscaping as one coordinated project.

Our concrete, carpentry and electrical crews coordinate footings, patio drainage, lighting and power connections.

Planning your project in Clayton

Our Clayton services include kitchen remodeling, outdoor living and exterior updates.

The local housing includes 1970s–90s custom and semi-custom homes on generous lots. A backyard with an existing slab can be updated with shade, lighting, planting or an outdoor kitchen, depending on the space and intended use.

We serve Clayton, including Oakhurst, Peacock Creek, Regency Woods and downtown Clayton. Project planning here accounts for Mt. Diablo foothill slopes and wildland-urban interface fire requirements. We consider orientation, shade, wind exposure and footing requirements when planning outdoor structures.

Permits and inspections in Clayton

Permits for work in Clayton go through the City of Clayton Building Division. Whether a structure needs a permit comes down to size, height and attachment to the house — we confirm the threshold before design is final. We handle the permit application and coordinate inspections.

Frequently asked questions

Do pergolas need permits in Clayton?

It depends. Whether a pergola needs a permit in Clayton comes down to size, height and attachment to the house — Clayton exempts some smaller detached structures. We confirm requirements for your design and pull the permit when one's needed.

Wood or aluminum pergola?

Wood offers a natural finish and flexible detailing; aluminum generally needs less maintenance. We build both and can help you compare appearance, upkeep and site exposure.

Can you do the whole backyard — concrete, pergola and landscaping?

Yes. AZ Elevated Builders can include concrete, a pergola and landscaping in one backyard project. We coordinate grades, drainage, footings and planting in the same plan.
