Sized and oriented so the pergola frames the Troon view corridor — not the neighbors' rooflines. Lighting runs on AE's own low-glare landscape line, so the patio reads warm at night without washing out the desert.
Ranges shown reflect actual pricing on this build. Your project will vary by lot conditions, finish selections, and HOA requirements — we publish ranges so you have a real starting point, not a teaser number.
Add real shade and a usable evening patio without disturbing the boulders, native vegetation, or view corridor that drew the homeowners to Troon North in the first place.
Existing boulders couldn't be moved. Pergola footings had to thread around rock outcrops while still meeting wind load engineering. HOA dark-sky standards required low-glare, dimmable fixtures with no spill.
AE designed pergola footings around the existing rock. The patio paver pattern was laid out to meet boulder edges cleanly, and lighting was specified with shielded fixtures aimed away from the view corridor.
Proportioned to frame Pinnacle Peak, not block it.
Pavers cut and laid to existing rock — no demolition.
Shielded, dimmable fixtures with no spillover.
No new landscape added — what was there was protected.
In Troon, what you don't build matters as much as what you do. Protecting the existing desert is what makes the new pergola and patio read as if they've always been there.
