Wooden Arbors and Pergolas

Absolutely! We offer custom designs tailored to your available square footage. We can create the perfect fit, whether it's a small seating area or a sprawling yard.

An arbor has rafters and slats. A pergola has rafters only (no slats).

An arbor typically features a more compact design and is ideal for smaller spaces or as an accent piece. A pergola, on the other hand, has larger, open rafters with more space between the beams, creating a more spacious and airy feel.

Material options for arbors and pergolas include:

• Treated Pine
• Rough Cedar
• Redwood
• Aluminum

Cedar arbors and pergolas offer a classic look. If you're looking for something low-maintenance, metal options retain their appeal over longer periods of time.

Yes, we offer installation services for the arbors, pergolas and pavilions we design to ensure it is properly set up in your chosen outdoor space, allowing you to enjoy it hassle-free.

We do not offer installation for arbor, pergola or pavilion kits purchased from Home Depot, Lowes or other online sites like Wayfair.

HOAs in San Antonio typically approve pergolas after we work together to submit required paperwork. This typically includes completing an application, submitting drawings and answering potential additional questions such as materials and color. The HOA meeting to approve projects typically occurs each month.

Some homeowners choose to install arbors and pergolas from kits themselves. We do not install kits. If you're looking to hire a contractor for arbor or pergola, our experience and quality craftmanship will be an investment you'll enjoy for years to come.

Add-ons for arbors and pergolas in San Antonio include:

• Electrical (lighting, fans)
• Concrete or decks
• Built in seating (benches)
• Railing (wood, composite, cable)
• Polygal cover

Due to the 2\u00d72 slats, arbors offer more shade with their closely spaced design. Pergolas have more open rafters, allowing varying degrees of sunlight.

Certainly! Explore our on-line portfolio to view a collection of completed projects, showcasing the quality and diversity of our services. On our Home page you can click into "chapters" of each type of project. One important thing we like to point out - it's all our work (no one else's) and it's not AI (so it can be built)! We will also bring a photo book and additional photos of our work to appointments. Make yours today!

There are many design choices involved in the initial appointment including size, location, materials and colors. We've found that when all homeowners are part of the creation of their project, they:

• Are much more satisfied with the design
• Can easily discuss changes to size, location, materials and colors
• Find a price that works for their budget
• Participate in an appointment that is creative, efficient and fun!

We request an initial appointment timeline of two hours. While it may not take this long, we always strive to accomplish & you should expect certain procedures that happen at the initial appointment:

• Your designer will walk the space with you.
• He or she listens to understand how you envision using your outdoor living area.
• We will take detailed measurements of the current existing structures and those areas in which we will build.
• The team member will then sit with you all inside, at a table, to discuss design choices, pros and cons of each and make recommendations for your unique home, goals and budget.
• As you make choices, the designer will create detailed drawings of the project and price based on your selections.

We do not give 'ballpark' estimates, price per square foot or price ranges as there are a variety of factors that go into designing and pricing your project.

For example, your home may be on a slope - impacting deck height or concrete depth.

The material choices you make, even down to the color, can also significantly influence price. For example, composite wood may be more expensive but has a longer life than natural wood.

Even factors such as location of gates and access to the property can impact pricing. For example, the price to pump concrete in varies from the price it costs when material must be hand-carted or carried into the backyard.

For this reason, we design and price projects at the property with all homeowners' present.

We love projects of all sizes! Our project minimum investment is typically $3,000 (for wood) and $5,500 (for concrete). As quality is our number one value, most of our work comes from repeat clients and referrals - so many clients have chosen to complete multiple projects with us and at higher investment levels. We are also happy to phase out your project(s), if that is best for you. No matter the size, we believe you will be creating additional property value and meaningful space for your family to make joyful memories.
