Pergolas & Gazebos

Pergolas typically feature an open-roof design with beams and rafters that provide filtered shade while allowing some sunlight through. They can be freestanding or attached to a house. Gazebos are fully roofed structures, usually octagonal or round, that provide complete protection from sun and light rain. They typically stand alone in the landscape as a destination point.

We offer structures in several materials, each with unique benefits. Cedar and redwood provide natural beauty and weather resistance. Pressure-treated pine offers durability at a lower cost. Composite and vinyl materials require minimal maintenance. Aluminum and fiberglass options provide modern aesthetics and exceptional longevity. We'll discuss the pros and cons of each during your consultation.

Permit requirements vary by location. Many municipalities require permits for structures over a certain size or attached to the home. As part of our service, we research local building codes, obtain necessary permits, and ensure your structure meets all requirements. This gives you peace of mind that your installation is properly documented and compliant.

Our structures can be customized in countless ways. Options include integrated lighting, ceiling fans, outdoor speakers, privacy screens, retractable canopies, curtains, climbing plant supports, built-in seating, and decorative elements. We can design your structure to complement your home's architecture and reflect your personal style.

The timeline varies based on complexity and size. A standard pergola typically takes 2-3 days to construct once materials are on site. Larger or more complex structures like custom gazebos may take 1-2 weeks. The entire process from design to completion typically spans 3-6 weeks, depending on material availability and permitting timelines.
