Structures in the Landscape
Custom Built Pergolas
Everything you see here is custom built, no kits.
To the left you'll see a custom 28' x 16' x 10' tall pergola built with western red cedar. The 6 main posts are 8' x 8' and bracketed to concrete footers under the deck. Those are 4' x 10' x 32’ beams running across that are mortised into the 6 main posts. Our client also had the brackets custom made by a local machinist. We ran electricity out for future fans as well as a natural gas pipe for a fire pit.
This pergola is extremely stable and expected to last. I worked closely with my client to design and construct this beautiful stately pergola.

Florida friendly landscaping is all about finding creative options to typical lawn dominant landscapes. An extended living space with a custom built structure such as a pergola will creatively replace an otherwise bland lawn area. Planting beds that surround this area can be populated with prolific flowering plants and hardy small shrubbery that will attract butterflies and hummingbirds. Once established, these areas are very low maintenance.
Details matter!
I always suggest the use of matching brackets and hardware. Look closely and you’ll see we have set up lights too.
