What We Provide
We design and build custom pergolas that transform backyards into functional outdoor living spaces built for Utah’s climate. Every structure is tailored to your home, with careful attention to shade, airflow, and overall design—from modern open-rafter styles to more traditional slatted roofs. Built with quality craftsmanship and precision, our pergolas combine durability, function, and visual appeal to enhance your outdoor space!
Types of Pergolas We Build
Freestanding Pergolas
Freestanding pergolas are built anywhere in your yard and are not attached to your home or existing structures. These are perfect for creating a defined outdoor space in open areas such as backyards, garden spaces, or around fire pits.
They can be designed as a central focal point or as a functional shaded area for seating and entertaining. Freestanding pergolas are one of the most flexible options for homeowners looking to add structure and style anywhere on their property.
Timber Frame Pergolas
Timber frame pergolas are built using large structural posts and heavy beams for a bold, natural look. These designs are extremely popular in Utah’s mountain and rustic-style homes and create a strong architectural presence in any outdoor space.
They are built for both durability and visual impact, making them a great option for homeowners looking for a high-end, custom-built aesthetic that feels solid and timeless.
Covered & Partial-Roof Pergolas
For homeowners who want more shade and weather protection, we build pergolas with tighter slat spacing or partial roof systems. These can include solid roof panels, polycarbonate coverings, or mixed designs that balance sunlight and coverage.
This style is especially popular in Utah due to strong sun exposure in the summer and changing seasonal weather. It allows you to enjoy your outdoor space more comfortably throughout the year.
Attached Pergolas
Attached pergolas are secured directly to your home, deck, or existing patio space. This style creates a natural extension of your indoor living area and is one of the most popular choices for homeowners wanting to expand usable space.
These pergolas are ideal for outdoor dining areas, patio seating, or covering walkout doors. When designed correctly, they blend seamlessly with your home’s architecture and feel like a true extension of your living space.
Outdoor Living Integration
We often design pergolas as part of a complete outdoor living space to create a more functional and visually cohesive backyard. Rather than treating the pergola as a standalone feature, we integrate it with surrounding elements so everything flows together naturally.
This can include:
- Patios
- Fire pits
- Walkways and access paths
- Landscaping coordination
When planned and built together, your pergola becomes a defined outdoor living area—adding shade, structure, and style while tying the entire space together into a clean, intentional layout rather than separate, disconnected features.
Deck Integration
We frequently design pergolas as part of a larger deck or outdoor living project. When integrated properly, the pergola, decking, railings, and layout all work together as one cohesive design.
This creates a seamless transition between your home and outdoor space while maximizing both function and visual appeal.
Custom Add-Ons
We can also enhance your pergola with custom features to create a complete outdoor living experience, including:
- Integrated lighting for evening use
- Ceiling fans for airflow and comfort
- Privacy screens or decorative side panels
- Outdoor heaters for year-round use
- Built-in plant and vine support systems
These additions help turn a simple structure into a fully functional outdoor room.
