Our story

A family craft, now growing in Texas soil

We're not a contractor that added "palapas" to a service list. This is the work our family has done for generations — and we'd love to bring it to your backyard.

Born under a palapa, built by hand ever since

The skill of building palapas was passed down through generations of our family in Tamaulipas, Mexico. My mother was actually born underneath one — that's not a marketing line, it's just our history. Thatching palm and shaping cedar is in our blood.

When we settled in North Texas, we saw something familiar: backyards built around beautiful pools, families who love to gather outdoors, and the same hot sun we grew up shading. So we brought the craft with us — unchanged, uncompromised, and made for the way you live here.

Today we hand-build authentic palapas, tiki bars and pergolas across the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, one backyard at a time.

What we stand for

The promises behind every build

We're proud of our work, but we'd rather show it than say it. These are the standards we hold ourselves to on every project.

Honest from hello

Clear pricing, realistic timelines, and straight answers. If a smaller build is the right call for your space, we'll tell you — no upsell, no pressure.

Built to outlast the trend

Hand-selected cedar and authentic palm, joined the way our family has done it for decades. Your palapa should be standing strong long after the patio furniture wears out.

Treated like family

You'll work directly with the people building your project — not a call center. We show up, we follow through, and we stand behind the work after the last nail.
