Gazebos, Pergolas & Arbors
Custom-built shade structures that complement your home and make an outdoor living area usable from morning to night.
A professionally built gazebo, pergola, or arbor adds shade and structure to an outdoor living area — a comfortable place to relax in warm weather that also ties the space together with your home and landscape.
We build custom wooden structures to fit your site. Pergolas are versatile for covering seating areas, outdoor kitchens, and patios; gazebos give you complete shade and can be finished with ceiling fans and lighting for day-and-night use; arbors and trellises frame entries and garden features.
Common questions
- What's the difference between a gazebo, a pergola, and an arbor?
- A gazebo is a covered, usually freestanding structure with a full roof; a pergola has an open slatted top for partial shade; an arbor is a smaller garden structure that frames a path or entry. We build all three in custom wood.
- Do shade structures need a permit?
- Depends on the municipality and the size of the structure. We flag permit requirements during the site visit and handle the design details that inspections look for.
- Can a pergola be added to an existing patio?
- Usually, yes — footing placement is the main consideration. We assess the existing patio base and design the posts and hardware so the structure anchors safely.
