Arbor, Pergola, & Trellis Builders

Create a charming focal point in your garden

One of the most charming features in a garden is a pergola, arbor, or trellis. Combined with gates and fencing, such garden structures can provide a focal point for prize roses, frame a view, or create a pleasing outdoor room.

Styles of garden arbors and pergolas are nearly infinite. Many designers recommend tying the style to the architecture of your home. For older houses, more traditional designs look best. Consider vintage home and garden magazines and books for inspiration. Newer contemporary or modern styles often look well with metal designs. And for the homeowner who prefers an eclectic style, there are only rules that are meant to be tested and broken creatively.

Materials range from redwood and cedar with their characteristic durability to newer vinyl arbors that are low maintenance.

Choose a contractor who has not only all the appropriate insurance and locally required licensing, but also a portfolio of projects that reflects your project goals. Depending on the scope of the work, a simple work order may be all that is required, however, craftsmanship is always a priority, so don't hesitate to ask for references.

Hiring a contractor who specializes in outdoor structures allows you to design a custom pergola, arbor, or trellis system that works in your garden.
