Make your backyard more comfortable and inviting with custom pergolas and patio covers from Pro Landscaping of Wash Park. These outdoor structures provide shade, define gathering areas, and add architectural character while helping you get more enjoyment from your patio and landscape.

Pergolas and covered patios can be designed around seating areas, outdoor kitchens, dining spaces, fire features, and other backyard improvements. Whether you prefer an open pergola that adds partial shade or a more substantial patio cover, the structure can be planned to complement your home and surrounding hardscaping.

Pro Landscaping of Wash Park provides pergola and patio cover solutions throughout Washington Park, Cherry Creek, Cherry Hills Village, Greenwood Village, and Denver. Each project is planned around the available space, intended use, existing landscape, and architectural style to create a comfortable addition to your outdoor living area.

What Are Pergolas & Patio Covers?

Pergolas and patio covers are outdoor structures designed to provide shade, shelter, and definition for patios and other gathering spaces. Pergolas typically feature an open or partially covered overhead design, while patio covers can provide more substantial protection from direct sunlight and changing weather conditions.

These structures can also serve as an important design element within a larger backyard renovation. Pro Landscaping of Wash Park can coordinate pergolas and patio covers with paver patios, concrete surfaces, outdoor kitchens, fire pits, walkways, and landscaping to create a cohesive outdoor environment.

When Are Pergolas & Patio Covers Necessary?

Pergolas and patio covers are useful when direct sunlight or limited shade makes an existing patio less comfortable during the day. They are also a practical addition when you want to define an outdoor dining, seating, cooking, or entertainment area without fully enclosing the space.

A custom pergola can add visual interest to an open backyard, while a covered patio can make an outdoor living area more versatile. These structures are especially valuable when included in a broader outdoor living design where shade, seating, landscaping, and hardscaping need to work together.

What Is Required to Complete Pergolas & Patio Covers?

A pergola or patio cover project begins by evaluating the available space, existing patio, home architecture, desired amount of coverage, structural requirements, and how the area will be used. Material selection, dimensions, placement, drainage, and connections to existing structures may also need to be considered.

Installation typically involves site preparation, establishing secure footings or supports, constructing the structural framework, and completing the selected overhead system and finishing details. Depending on the size, design, and location, local permits or other approvals may be required. Pro Landscaping of Wash Park focuses on thoughtful planning and quality construction to create outdoor structures that complement the home and landscape.
