Benefits of Pergolas
Pergolas provide a wide range of benefits for you, your family, your home, or your business! From adding sitting space to increasing your home’s value, there’s no end to the benefits!
Below, you can see the various benefits of pergolas:
Beautify your Landscape
A pergola can be used as a functioning focal point of your landscaping. These structures are open and airy, so you can accomplish this without creating a space that feels small and cramped. Usually, the ground underneath of the pergola is topped with a flooring material like brick, concrete pavers, or decking. When you combine flooring with the pergola’s beams and pillars, you will create define the focal point of your landscape even further!
Create Shade
Despite the slightly unfinished look of pergolas, they provide ample shade. The size of the beams and their spacing is what determines just how much shade they provide. A pergola will not create a fully-shaded space, though this allows you to enjoy some shade while still being able to enjoy the view of the sky or the stars at night.
Pergolas are Affordable
If you want to improve the look of your outdoor space without breaking the bank, a pergola can be the ideal solution. Pergolas are inexpensive and simple to construct, yet they make a huge impact on your landscape. They can further improve your landscape when you add climbing plants. Pergolas can vary in costs, but we know that we can find the perfect, affordable pergola for your budget.
Durability and Low Maintenance
Our custom pergolas are extremely durable. They’re designed to last for over a decade with proper maintenance and care without rotting or needing a replacement. Not to mention, the maintenance for these structures is fairly simple so as to not consume much of your time. They should be stained annually to help maintain they’re durability and sprayed off with a hose regularly.
Uniquely Beautiful
Pergolas are known for their unique beauty that stands out in the crowd of standard awnings. These beautiful structures are designed to help capture visual interest in what would otherwise be a basic backyard. Not to mention, pergolas can be used to beautify gardens. By providing a decorative, yet functional, medium to display plants and flowers, pergolas further enhance the beauty of any space!
Beautify your Garden
Pergolas are the perfect support for creating a living, functioning garden! By utilizing climbing flowers, vines, and ivy, they’ll climb their way through the pergola’s supports and into the top beams. Plants such as wisteria, clematis, and grapevines make excellent additions to a pergola. You can even hang planters from the beams to create a space that is teeming with gorgeous plant life and color.
Making a structure that’s built to last isn’t easy, leave it to the pros!

FAQ’S
Here is a list of some of the most common questions that we hear from our clients.
If you have any questions not listed here, feel free to give one of our representatives a call and they’ll answer any questions that you have!
Different types of
Deck Finishes
Oil-based Stains
Oil decking stains penetrate wood quite well and provide excellent protection. Oil-based stains are normally more natural-looking than water-based stains. They enhance the beauty of the wood by allowing more of the wood grain to show through.
Water-based Stains
Water-based decking stains have become increasingly popular in recent years due to stricter VOC laws in many states. Water-based stains can retain their color better than oil-based though they’re not as user-friendly.
Acrylic Deck Paint
Acrylic paints are designed to prevent cracking during temperature changes. You can also get deck paint with a subtle non-slip texture. Deck paint is mildew resistant as well, which helps protect the wood underneath.
No Finish
When using pressure-treated lumber or a rot-resistant species, such as cedar or redwood, you can leave the boards unfinished. Your deck will weather to a silver/gray patina.
