Topeka sits squarely in Tornado Alley, with straight-line wind and large hail a routine spring event rather than an exception, so every pergola, gazebo, and fire structure we route gets built and anchored with that in mind. Cold winters, January lows near 18 degrees, mean footings have to clear the local frost depth, and expansive clay subsoil across the city drives most of the drainage and retaining-wall work.
