North Tustin is County territory, not the City of Tustin

North Tustin is County territory, not the City of Tustin

North Tustin is an unincorporated community of Orange County, next to but separate from the City of Tustin. It climbs into the foothills through areas such as Lemon Heights and Cowan Heights, and many homes sit on larger lots with mature trees.

With no North Tustin city hall, the County of Orange is generally the agency that reviews patio cover plans here. Expect questions about the cover’s size, its height, how it ties into the house and how close it comes to the lot lines.

Hillside parcels can bring added questions about footings, setbacks or fire safety, so we raise those while the design is still a sketch. Many tracts also have their own deed restrictions or an association, which are worth reading before anything is drawn.

Long, low covers for ranch-style homes

Long, low covers for ranch-style homes

Many North Tustin houses are single story ranch homes with long, low roof lines, and a tall or steep cover would look bolted on. Our aluminum patio covers for North Tustin homes are planned to sit under that line, not fight it.

  • Low-slope attached covers can run the full width of the back of the house and keep the eave line clean.
  • Wood grain embossed aluminum from Duralum suits the warm, natural look of many ranch homes without the upkeep of painted wood.
  • Insulated roof panels keep a wide patio cooler on warm foothill afternoons.
Freestanding covers for big yards and sloped lots

Freestanding covers for big yards and sloped lots

On a larger lot, the best seat is often away from the house: beside a pool, at the edge of a lawn or on a corner with a view. Because a freestanding cover needs no wall to lean on, it can go wherever you actually spend time.

Sloped ground needs care: post heights and footings have to be planned to the grade, and the roof pitched so rain drains away from paths and planters. Extruded aluminum from 4K Aluminum, with its crisp, modern profile, is a good fit for these open, stand-alone designs.

Mature trees, leaves and views

Mature trees, leaves and views

Big shade trees and old fruit trees are part of the charm in North Tustin. They also drop leaves, which can collect on a solid roof.

A lattice roof lets much of that debris fall through and keeps filtered light on the patio. A solid roof gives full shade and keeps the table dry, but plan on clearing it from time to time. If a view is the point of your yard, open beam pergolas or a lattice cover keep sight lines open while still cutting the glare.

Before you call: four questions to think through

Before you call: four questions to think through

  • Where do you sit most at 4 in the afternoon, and which way does that spot face?
  • Should the cover attach to the house, or stand alone somewhere in the yard?
  • Do you want full rain cover, filtered shade, or a mix of both?
  • Do you have a survey or property plan handy? It helps on a hillside lot.

    I recently had a new solid insulated patio cover installed. My experience with Ocean Pacific Patios was amazing from start to finish. Charlie the Design Consultant was friendly and knowledgeable! Most importantly he was not pushy at all! He answered all my questions without hesitation. The Construction Manager, John, was wonderful too! He had great suggestions and expertise knowledge! Mario and his crew did an excellent job in the demolition of my old cover and installed the new one with precise skills! I have already recommended this company to three people. I have zero complaints!

    We did a large front/backyard remodel and pool. John and his team did the Pergolas. Of the three separate contractors we used I would only recommend John. He and his team were professional and the quality was first rate. I really wish I had discovered John before I signed the contract with the main hardscape contractor. John's experience and excellent problem solving skills really saved the project. I highly recommend Ocean Pacific Patios.

    John and Charlie took on our complicated home patio pavers and drainage project this past fall 2025. It was small, so I was worried it would not be a priority for anyone - but they were prompt, fair, and no-nonsense. Their crews were expedient, knowledgeable and exceeded our expectations. They were patient while we selected just the right paver color, and made suggestions such as some small accent lights that have made a huge difference! Charlie is extremely knowledgeable and helped us to achieve a beautiful result that drains properly. They even helped locate and connect a drain line that was buried under some pavers we had placed years ago, leaving the area looking beautiful! I would highly recommend Ocean Pacific Patios, without reservation. They are the best.

    If you’re looking for a beautiful, high quality patio cover at a fair price, this is the company to use. Construction manager John Haynes handled all our design needs in a very professional manner. Tony and the install crew really know their stuff too.
    You couldn’t go wrong using Ocean Pacific Patios.

    After several bids and proposals with patio cover companies, we decided to go with Ocean Pacific to replace our old dilapidated patio cover. Charlie was informative and fair in presenting his numbers. John, the construction manager, in addition to his expertise in confirming the design details, was very helpful in referring a wood repair man (who did a great job). Demo day went smoothly. The crew was quick and efficient. Installation of the patio cover was spectacular - Hugo and his helper completed the job in one day! They were professional and answered my questions. They cleaned up the back yard after their completion. We are very happy with the patio cover. It turned out beautiful! Thank you, Ocean Pacific.

    My wife and I selected Ocean Pacific Patios after receiving several different bids. From the beginning, Charlie came to our home and listened to what we wanted. During this process, Charlie suggested a different option that we had not thought of. He presented us a bid for our option and the new option he offered. We finally decided to go with Charlie’s option. Charlie and John came out for the final design meeting, at which time John made a production drawing of our new patio cover, which really helped tell us we made the right design decision. During the installation John’s crew was very professional and they left the work site clean, when finished. We are very happy with the new patio cover and glad Charlie suggested this option. I would highly recommend Ocean Pacific Patios. Thanks Charlie and John.

    By far the EASIEST process it was by working with Charlie Twitch who sealed the deal and outbid 6 other contractors and John Haynes whose expertise made this sunroom exactly to vision. This company is truly the sunroom experts of Orange County. Please trust me when I tell you, my yard was a complete disaster before this and not only did they demo the existing leaking cover which came with the house, but they helped me design the rest of the yard alongside others and were amazing coordinating and masterminding the final outcome. They are honest and treated me like family the entire time. Look no further. I already did the research for you!

    We decided to work with John and his team at Ocean Pacific Patio after our due diligence in gathering a number of quotes and design ideas. We do not have a standard patio layout and so it was very important to have the right people who could understand our vision. After meeting with John and going over the details, it was clear to us that he could take us to the finish line with our outdoor patio cover. The build took two days and our space was kept very clean. The craftsmanship and attention to detail is first class. I would definitely recommend Ocean Pacific Patios to anyone who is looking to build their dream patio. Thank you 🙏🏽

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Still deciding? Call us and we will talk it through.

Call (949) 525-1267
Does the City of Tustin review patio covers in North Tustin?

No. North Tustin is unincorporated, so plans generally go to the County of Orange instead. The County looks at size, height, attachment and placement on the lot, and hillside parcels may draw extra questions. We talk through likely requirements while planning your design.

Can I build a patio cover without a permit in California?

It is rarely an option. Patio covers generally need plan review, and in North Tustin that review typically runs through the County of Orange. An unpermitted cover can surface as a problem during a home sale. Small repairs to an existing cover may be handled differently, so ask before you build.

Can a freestanding cover go on a sloped yard?

Yes, with planning. Posts on a slope are set at different heights with footings suited to the grade, and the roof is pitched so water runs away from paths. Standing apart from the house, the cover can shade a pool deck or a view spot.

How much does a 20x20 patio cover cost?

That is 400 square feet of shade, a size many larger North Tustin yards can take. The price moves with roof style, insulated panels, the aluminum you pick, footings on sloped ground and County review. We measure your lot first, then quote the exact design.

Will leaves from big trees damage an aluminum cover?

Leaves and needles will not harm aluminum, but they can pile up on a solid roof and slow drainage. A lattice roof lets most debris fall through. With a solid or insulated roof, a simple seasonal clean keeps water moving and the cover looking sharp.

How far is Ocean Pacific Patios from North Tustin?

About 9.1 miles. Our Costa Mesa address, 566 Sturgeon Dr, sits southwest of North Tustin, so visits to measure the slope, check sun angles and review the design at the house are simple to set up.
