Yes, I did the Pergola myself. It took a bit of measuring, etc because it came stock as a 12' x 12' that I converted to a custom size to fit in the inside corner.

The concrete patio was done by Keeton concrete as part of a bigger project which involved a new patio, new garage slab for a new garage, new huge 34' wide driveway and new front walkway. All together we poured 34 cubic yards of concrete. Rick and his crew did a wonderful job. I RARELY endorse contractors, but Rick Keeton is the only concrete company I'd ever use. Perhaps sometime I'll post pics of the driveway/walkway/garage portion of the remodel if anyone is interested.

I hope I did not infer I did the concrete myself.....I wanted to of course as I am not used to hiring out any part of my projects, but I needed heavy equipment for the demo portion, and 34 yards including two footers, close to 2,000 sq ft of flatwork was a bit much for me.....especially between inspections.....
