Custom pergolas, arbors and pavilions that add shade, structure and style to patios, kitchens and gardens.
Shade can make or break an outdoor space. A sunny patio in a Nashville July can be too hot to use, and a covered area gives you a place to relax regardless of sun or light rain. Pergolas, arbors and pavilions add structure and a sense of room, defining an outdoor living space and framing the view. They also give climbing plants something to grow on and give lights and fans a place to hang.
We design structures that suit the house and the yard, choosing between open pergolas with louvers or slats, arbors for garden entries and fully covered pavilions with solid roofs. We build with pressure-treated lumber, cedar or other durable materials, set posts on proper footings and finish with stain or paint. We coordinate electrical for fans and lighting with qualified trades and plan the structure with your patio or outdoor kitchen. We explain what permits may apply and how to maintain the finish. We also think about the sun path, so the shade falls where you sit during the hottest hours, and about wind and snow loads so the structure stays safe. Material choices, stain colors and hardware are reviewed with you before building begins, and we leave clear care instructions.
