For West University Place properties near Colonial Park and the West U town center, the design starts with narrow, deep lots with strict municipal design rules.

West University Place is in Harris County, and wood pergola permits here go through the West University Place permit office — we file them. Most of our West University Place work sits off Bissonnet Street and Buffalo Speedway, on narrow, deep lots with strict municipal design rules, and West U jobs are permitted and staged street-by-street.
West U's urban soil is heavily compacted from decades of development, requiring specialized equipment for post-hole drilling. West University Place also sees urban heat combined with standard Houston humidity — mature tree canopy provides some shade, which is why every wood pergola we build here sits on galvanized steel posts set in concrete. Modern horizontal cedar and ornamental iron are the signature West U styles, complementing the neighborhood's mix of traditional and contemporary homes.

“My 25 yo cedar fence was partially destroyed by Hurricane Beryl so I decided to replace the entire section of fence. I contacted several fence companies but only Kyle at 360Fence & Deck responded quickly with a willingness to measure the section and provide an estimate within the next 2 days. The estimate was lower than previous quotes and I was impressed with Kyle's customer service. They completed the job within 3 days and I am very satisfied with the results. I was very grateful they built the new fence without harming existing landscaping growing on the old fence. Clearly these guys are excellent craftsmen with the appearance and quality adhering to very high standards. Kyle was very helpful in answering my questions and concerns. I would definitely use 360Fence & Deck co for future work and I strongly recommend them to others.”

Ipe and tropical hardwoods offer the longest lifespan at a premium price. West University Place properties are typically narrow, deep lots with strict municipal design rules, which changes how we detail the build.
