Shade shaped around the way you live.
A pergola can frame a dining area, create a quiet seating space, or connect the house with the garden. The size and spacing of the overhead members, the placement of posts, and the relationship to nearby fencing all influence how the space feels. Finished timber, painted wood, and metal structure options can be discussed around your home and project needs.
Start with the space beneath the structure.
Furniture layout, walking routes, doors, windows, and the direction of the sun help guide the design. We discuss the intended use, attached or freestanding layout, support locations, finish, and coordination with the patio or deck. An open pergola provides filtered shade; a weather-protected roof is a different scope and should be discussed explicitly.
Can a pergola be part of a larger outdoor project?
Yes. We can discuss the pergola alongside privacy fencing, gates, decking, and outdoor surfaces. Planning these elements together helps align post positions, levels, and circulation before construction begins. Share a few photos of the yard and the approximate area you want to cover so we can understand the whole space.
