Perfect Pergolas!

March 5, 2014 | By webadmin

Summer can be a little warm here in Texas; now's the time to start planning landscape updates and renovations that will make it easier for you to enjoy your summer backyard.

Do you have a spot that would be great for relaxing or entertaining, but it just seems to be missing something (including a little more shade)? Pergolas can be the perfect design solution for an underutilized space in your landscape. Pergolas can be made from many different types of materials, although wood is the perferred choice. They can be as small or as large as you need and can be designed to fit just about any type of style or home architecture.

Pergolas go a long way to improving the looks and usability of a space. At this residence, we took a completely unused space in the backyard and designed a simple and contemporary patio with a stunning pergola. We also installed some tough but beautiful low-maintenance landscaping around the patio. A bubbling water feature really makes this space perfect for relaxing after a logn day at work.

As you can see, this pergola completely change the look of both the home and the yard. This simple upgrade adds not only a lot of value to the home, but also creates an entirely new outdoor room to be used by the homeowners.

We're in love with pergolas and we think you will be too! if you're ready to transform an underused space in your back yard so you can enjoy the outdoors, please give us a call to schedule a design consultation.
