Pergolas and Structures

Add shade, definition, and architectural interest to your outdoor environment with a custom pergola or structure designed around your property.

Professional Landscape Maintenance for a Polished Property

Outdoor structures can make a landscape feel more comfortable, defined, and complete. Lemcke Landscape designs and installs pergolas and other structures that provide shade, architectural interest, and a stronger sense of place within outdoor living environments.

Each structure is planned around the property and its intended use so it complements both the home and the surrounding landscape.

Outdoor Structures Designed for Comfort and Definition

A pergola or outdoor structure should support the way the space will be used while creating shade, visual definition, and a natural connection between the home and landscape.

Custom Pergola Planning

Each structure is planned around the property, its intended use, and the outdoor area it will help define.

Outdoor Area Definition

A pergola or overhead structure can give an open patio or gathering area a more intimate, comfortable, and finished appearance.

Shade and Orientation

The design and orientation of the structure are considered to provide appropriate shade at different times of the day.

Comfort Features

Lighting, fans, privacy elements, climbing plants, and nearby landscaping may be incorporated to improve comfort and usability.

Architectural Coordination

Proportions, materials, colors, and architectural details are selected to complement the character and appearance of the home.

Footing and Utility Planning

Footings, utilities, lighting, furniture placement, and surrounding landscaping are considered before construction begins.

Our Pergola and Outdoor Structure Process

Each structure is developed around the property, its intended use, and the surrounding outdoor environment. Careful planning helps the finished feature provide comfort, definition, and architectural character.

01. Discuss the Intended Use

We begin by discussing how the structure will be used and whether it will define a dining space, seating area, walkway, or transitional area.

02. Review the Property

The home, surrounding landscape, sunlight, shade needs, nearby features, and available space are reviewed before developing the design.

03. Develop the Structure Design

The proportions, orientation, materials, colors, architectural details, and optional comfort features are coordinated into one complete design.

04. Prepare for Installation

Footings, utilities, lighting, furniture placement, and surrounding landscaping are considered before the structure is installed.

A Structure That Completes the Outdoor Environment

A thoughtfully designed pergola or outdoor structure can transform an exposed area into a more comfortable and clearly defined destination. Shade, orientation, proportions, and optional comfort features all influence how the completed space looks and functions.

Lemcke Landscape plans each structure to complement the home and connect naturally with the surrounding landscape, helping it feel like an intentional part of the complete outdoor environment.
