Enjoy cooling shade, open airflow, and a stylish backyard upgrade built to fit your home.
At Backyard Patio Covers and Awning, we build custom lattice patio covers for homeowners who want shade without closing off their outdoor space. A lattice cover is a smart option if you enjoy natural light and airflow but still want relief from direct sun. It adds structure, style, and comfort to your patio while helping define your backyard as a more usable living area.
We have been helping Orange County homeowners improve their outdoor spaces since 2016. Over the years, we have installed lattice patio covers for everything from small concrete patios to large backyard entertaining areas. We know how to design these covers so they look right with your home, hold up well over time, and give you the balance of sun and shade you are looking for.
A lattice patio cover is an open-roof patio cover made with evenly spaced slats. Unlike a solid patio cover, a lattice design lets filtered sunlight pass through while still reducing heat and glare. Many homeowners choose this style because it creates light shade, improves curb appeal, and keeps the patio feeling open and airy.
This type of patio cover works well over backyard patios, outdoor dining areas, seating spaces, poolside lounges, garden patios, and outdoor kitchens that do not need full rain protection. It is a great fit for homeowners who want a decorative cover that adds character while making the space more comfortable during warm, sunny days.
When we install a lattice patio cover, we do not use a one-size-fits-all approach. We design each project around your home, your patio, and how you plan to use the space. Some homeowners want partial shade over a sitting area. Others want a larger structure that covers most of the patio while still allowing plenty of light through. We take the time to understand what matters most to you before we recommend a design.
Our service typically includes site measurements, design planning, material selection, layout guidance, and professional installation. We look at the size of the patio, attachment points, sun exposure, drainage considerations, and the visual style of your home. This helps us build a patio lattice cover that looks intentional and performs the way it should.
We offer custom lattice patio covers in a range of styles and configurations. Depending on your property and goals, we can help you choose options such as:
Every custom patio cover should match the home instead of looking like an afterthought. That is why we pay close attention to proportions, clean lines, and overall appearance.
The right materials make a big difference in both appearance and long-term performance. We help homeowners choose patio cover materials that fit their budget, maintenance goals, and design preferences. Many lattice patio covers today are built with durable aluminum components because they resist rust, hold up well in the weather, and require less maintenance than wood. In some cases, material and finish selections may vary based on the design and application.
Our focus is always on quality craftsmanship. We build with attention to structural stability, clean installation, and details that help your new patio cover last. A well-built outdoor shade structure should not only look good on day one, but continue performing season after season.
Lattice patio covers are ideal for homeowners who want partial shade rather than full weather protection. They are especially popular in Orange County because they help soften strong sun while keeping outdoor spaces bright and pleasant. This style works well for:
If you want full shade or protection from rain, we can also discuss whether a solid patio cover, insulated patio cover, or louvered patio cover may be a better fit. Our job is to help you choose the right solution for how you live outdoors.
We aim to keep the process straightforward and stress-free. It starts with a conversation about your space, your goals, and the type of shade you want. From there, we evaluate the patio area, take measurements, and go over design ideas. Once the plan is finalized, our team handles the installation with care and professionalism.
We work hard to deliver dependable service, clear communication, and results that make sense for your home. We respect your property during the build and focus on completing the project the right way. Our customers choose us because they want experienced patio cover installers who show up, do quality work, and stand behind what they build.
Since 2016, we have helped homeowners across Orange County create more comfortable and functional outdoor living spaces. We are a local company that specializes in patio covers and awnings, so this is not a side service for us. It is what we do every day. That hands-on experience helps us guide customers toward smart choices based on layout, style, sun exposure, and long-term value.
When you work with us, you get more than just a contractor. You get a team that listens, explains your options clearly, and cares about the finished result. We believe a backyard patio cover should improve the way you use your home while adding beauty and value to the property.
If you are thinking about adding a lattice patio cover to your home, we would be happy to help. We can walk you through design options, answer your questions, and recommend a custom solution that fits your space and budget. Contact Backyard Patio Covers and Awning today to schedule a consultation and get started on a lattice patio cover that brings shade, style, and comfort to your backyard.
We start with a visit to your home to measure the patio, review sun exposure, and talk through the look, shade level, and airflow you want from your lattice patio cover. Then we recommend a custom layout, material options, and a clear estimate so you know exactly what to expect before we begin.
Once you approve the design, we finalize the project details, confirm dimensions, and schedule your installation around your timeline. Our team prepares every component for your specific backyard, which helps us keep the job efficient, accurate, and consistent from day one.
We install your lattice patio cover with close attention to structural fit, clean lines, and a polished finish that complements your home. Before we wrap up, we complete a full quality check and walk the project with you to make sure everything looks right, feels solid, and is ready to enjoy.

See what local families value most about our patio covers, awnings, and the way the job gets done.
"We hired Tomas to construct a carport that included lights and sunshades. The layout was a bit challenging but Tomas was able to work out a plan that met our needs. His crew of 3 plus himself showed up on time and worked very hard. Some obstacles came up and Tomas called them to our attention, gave us his game plan and sought our approval before continuing. The project took 2 days. Workers were diligent, friendly and thorough. Tomas is a very pleasant and jovial person who takes pride in his work. The work site was left clean and we were very happy with the outcome of our project and would recommend Backyard Patio without hesitation."
"Backyard Patio is the best! The guys went above and beyond to help me and my pergola is just beautiful. Don’t hesitate to hire this company. You won’t be disappointed."
"We wanted to have a pergola added to our patio and we were shocked how expensive it is. We called Backyard patio covers and awnings and it was an easy decision. Easy to contact and to be updated with each step of our project. They are reliable, use top of the line material, flexible designs and very professional. Reasonable price allowed us to add rolling shade. No delays, no accident, no junk left behind. Thank you Tomas for a wonderful job!"
"Tomas did a fantastic job on our patio cover, I would highly recommend him."
"Backyard patio did a great job changing out post. They replaced two old post and added a third for more support"
"I talked to four different guys, but there was no question that Tomas with Backyard Patio Covers was the way to go! Tomas is a prompt and excellent communicator. There was never any pressure and he answered all questions fully. He has a great crew, but Tomas was usually always there working as hard as the rest. They took down an old patio cover and replaced it with a nice new one and were completely finished in less than two days as promised with everything completely cleaned up and things put back on the patio. It looks fabulous and the price was very reasonable and less than the rest of the estimates. I can't recommend Tomas and his team enough! I'd give ten stars if I could (and I'm picky!!!) Thanks Tomas and your great guys!"
"Thomas and crew just finished a patio cover for me. Great work and a great price. They were pretty close to another bid I was given, but they were so personable, easy going, enjoyable to talk to, it was easy to choose them. The experience remained that way throughout. Great guys, worked hard, finished quickly, did good work, and gave me a good price. Can't ask for more than that!"
"Great job .. on time .. very professional .. fair pricing .. I very rarely give 5 star reviews .. these guys deserved it .. thank you Tomas 👍🐸😎"
"It was such a pleasure working with Tomas! He is extremely reliable and offered great customer services. He was extremely patient and offered various solutions and suggestions for our backyard. I highly recommend him and his team."
"Tomas did a fantastic job with our patio and BBQ area. He was very thorough during the consultation, and had great design ideas and explanations as to why and how. I got 4 quotes before choosing. He was competitively priced, but his positive demeanor/energy made the difference. His team got the job done when he said they would. That was key. My family loves the new patio and would definitely recommend Tomas and his team."
"Tomas and his team did an excellent job from start to finish. There was constant communication throughout the whole process. The demo and installation took two days and everything was hauled away, they cleaned the area and left it as good as when they arrived. We are beyond pleased with how the patio cover turned out."
"Tomas completed our patio recover replacement to spec and within budget. He and his crew kept the worksite tidy. Tomas was pleasant to deal with through permit process."
"This company is fantastic! They are reliable, timely, and very professional. My old wood patio was decayed, molded, and rotted. They hauled away my old patio and installed a beautiful alumawood patio. Great job."
"We had a great experience with Backyard Pario Covers. We planned to install an aluminum wood-look patio cover as part of a whole yard redo, but were having issues getting responses from other companies. I called Backyard Patio Covers and spoke with Tomas. He took a lot of time on the phone explaining different options and how we can meet my HOA’s very specific requirements. We scheduled an in person appointment and Tomas arrived on time with samples. We selected the solid, non-insulated cover. Once we signed the contract and made a material deposit, Tomas kept in touch with us while we waited for the materials to become available. He then coordinated with our contractor to put the cover in according to the overall project timeline. On the instal day, Tomas and his helper arrived on time, worked quickly and neatly, and kept me informed of the progress. We are thrilled with the final product and can’t recommend them enough."
"From beginning quote to end results, backyard patio covers exceeded my expectations! We were indecisive on either this material or wood. We are glad we chose this option!!! Thomas offered options and was very patient with us. The patio cover was up in a few hours. They worked very clean and professional the entire time. We are very happy customers and we hope you chose them for your patio needs!!"
"We had a great experience. The communication was clear and effective, and the job turned out great."
"They did our backyard and were so sweet respectful and great to work with. They did an amazing job. And when the lights didn’t work they came back and fixed it. Very pleasant and great work."
"Looking for a nice patio for your backyard? Contact Tomas Picos at Backyard Patio Covers. Tomas went the extra mile to meet with us and go over various options for our home. He was very affordable and worked with our budget. My wife and I are very pleased with our patio and his customer service. Tomas and his team were very professional and kept me involved throughout the install. I strongly recommend you contact Tomas for any of your patio needs. Thank you Tomas and installers. Mike Valencia"
"This company was pretty much amazing. from communication to workmanship all of it !! I called them to tear down a patio for a client of mine and then we thought whether we wanted to keep it or not. He brought over samples of their Aluma wood line and we chose a color signed the contract not more than two weeks later, we have a full patio torn out and the other one built in about 2 1/2 days I was amazed by their speed, teamwork,, and giving a finished product all cleaned and furniture put back! Definitely deserve five stars"
"I have known Tomás for quite some time and it has been a pleasure doing business with him and his company if anyone is looking to make a Patio Cover do not hesitate to trust them they really do an exceptional work."
"Our patio cover was over 20 years old and needed replacement badly. Received an estimate from Tomas and felt very comfortable with him immediately. He gave us great options and we started the process. Tomas and his crew were fast, efficient, integrious and overall great to work with! The job took less time then projected and they left the patio clean. I will always recommend Backyard Patio Covers and Awning to everyone. Thank you!"
"Absolutely pleased with the craftsmanship, design and how fast the patio went up. Thomas and his team are the best!!!"
"Tomas did an amazing job with my backyard patio cover , he finished the job very quickly and left it so good ! I highly recommend to call if you’re interested"
"Was able to work with Backyard Patio Covers early this summer, so glad I did. My family has been able to enjoy our beautiful patio cover during this hot summer, they were also able to install a ceiling fan/light. The team was efficient, friendly and did a Fantastic job. Since my installation, my neighbors have also used them, and have had the same WONDERFUL Experience. Thank you guys!"
"Hands down best place to call for your patio cover. I tried getting a quote from 3-4 places to do my due diligence, Tom was the only one that came in person immediately to evaluate and discuss our ideas whereas the others refused to come out and gave a way more expensive quote over the phone. Although there was only a handful of reviews and a minimal website of his company to base our decision off of- after meeting with him the first time, we knew this was our guy! Transparent, reliable and simple. They installed on the exact day they predicted based off getting materials and did it in 5 hours. We were shocked! It looks far superior than we expected it to. Tom and his crew were so nice and worked so well together. They are a master of their craft and I would recommend them to EVERYONE! This is your guy and is better priced than all others, easiest decision!"
"Tomas has done an excellent job repairing my patio cover. His team works together very well and completed the job fast with quality. Glad I had them to do this job."
"Very good service, he’s very punctual, great communication and an overall great experience. Work was complete correctly and quickly. And gave importance to the slightest imperfection to make it perfect."
"Thomas and his team were great to work with. The project involved removing an old existing metal patio cover before installing a new cover. Thomas worked with us to simplify the design and installation, which reduced our cost. Once the old cover was removed, we had our roofer replace and repair water damaged fascia caused by poor installation of the old cover. Thomas and the roofer worked together well to ensure our new cover was properly installed. The new cover looks great!"
"Thomas and his crew were very easy to work with from start to finish. He did a great job communicating when he would be arriving and also explaining the how and why of a well built patio cover. They were able to do the extras such as adding 2 outlets plus some over head lighting and fan install. Our low older patio roof had leaks and needed to be raised if we were to install a fan. We appreciated the time and care the crew took and we loved the final product. We recommend them to anyone that needs good work done."
"Muy buen trabajo lo recomendamos muy bien son unas personas muy serias para trabajar estamos muy contento con su trabajo. Y servicio muy rápido nos iso un trabajo aquí en la ciudad. Culver city. Playa vista.. Very good job. Will recommend this guys."

"Thomas and his crew came and did an amazing job giving us some much needed shade and comfort to our backyard. They were prompt and on time and very professional."
"Great work from the team at Backyard Patio Covers. They were easy to work with and very communicative. The concrete patio extension that they completed has added a lot more useable space in our backyard for entertaining."
"Strongly recommended!!"
"Best in town. Thomas did a patio cover for my in laws house. From quote to demolition to Installation he was and is the most professional contractor I've ever met or done business with!! Would recommend him to anyone and everyone!!!"
