Other times a well placed structure can draw one out into a previous under-utilized yard.

Historically a pergola or arbor, forms a shaded walkway, passageway or sitting area of vertical posts or pillars that usually supprt cross beams and a sturdy open lattice. Often woody vines or flowering climbers adorn the structure. Pergolas can also link pavilions or extend from a building’s door to an open garden feature such as an isolated terrace or pool. They can also provide a peaceful sitting area that allows for breezes and light sun but offers protection from the harsh glare of direct sun. A few well places lighting elements are you are ready for a fantastic cocktail hour under the stars. Give us a call today to start planning a beautiful Spring.
