Add Shade, Style & Architectural Character to Your Outdoor Space

Create a Backyard Destination

Pergolas and arbors do more than add visual interest. They help define outdoor spaces and create comfortable destinations within your backyard.

A pergola can transform an open patio into an inviting lounge or dining area, while an arbor can create a beautiful entrance, garden feature, or transition between different areas of your property.

Custom Pergola & Arbor Design

Every outdoor space is different, which is why our pergolas and arbors are designed around your home, property, and vision.

We’ll consider your home’s architecture, surrounding landscape, existing hardscaping, desired level of shade, and how you plan to use the space to create a structure that feels intentional and cohesive.

Pergola & Arbor Options

Custom Pergolas

A custom pergola creates a defined outdoor room while maintaining an open-air atmosphere. Pergolas are ideal for patios, outdoor seating areas, dining spaces, pool decks, and other areas where you want to add architectural character and comfortable shade.

Poolside Pergolas

Create a resort-inspired destination just steps from your swimming pool. A poolside pergola provides a designated area for lounging, dining, or entertaining while adding height and visual interest to the overall pool environment. Whether incorporated into a new pool project or added to an existing backyard, a pergola can help bring the entire space together.

Patio Pergolas

Adding a pergola over a patio can transform an otherwise open area into a more inviting outdoor living space. Pair your pergola with comfortable seating, an outdoor dining table, lighting, landscaping, or other features to create a backyard destination for everyday relaxation and entertaining.

Garden Arbors

An arbor can create a beautiful focal point or transition within your landscape. Arbors work especially well at garden entrances, along walkways, between outdoor living areas, or as decorative features surrounded by landscaping and climbing plants.

Freestanding Outdoor Structures

Pergolas don’t have to be attached to your home. A freestanding pergola can create a separate destination anywhere in your backyard, making it ideal for poolside lounges, garden retreats, fire features, dining areas, and entertainment spaces.


Shade Without Closing Off Your Backyard

One of the biggest advantages of a pergola is the balance between openness and shade. Unlike a fully covered patio, a pergola maintains an open-air feeling while helping provide relief from direct sunlight. This makes pergolas especially appealing around pools, gardens, patios, and other areas where you want shade without completely enclosing the space. The result is an outdoor area that still feels connected to the surrounding landscape.
