Whether you want a cozy backyard escape or a show-stopping centerpiece for your landscape, Patriot HLC builds pergolas that seamlessly integrate with your environment and elevate your outdoor lifestyle.
What Is a Pergola?
A pergola is a freestanding or attached outdoor structure typically made of vertical posts and a slatted or open-lattice roof. Unlike gazebos or covered patios, pergolas provide filtered sunlight and partial shade, creating a relaxing ambiance without fully blocking natural light. They’re ideal for enhancing patios, decks, gardens, walkways, or outdoor living areas, and can be customized with climbing plants, curtains, canopies, lighting, and more.
Pergolas are both decorative and practical, providing:
- Defined gathering areas
- A visual anchor for outdoor spaces
- Enhanced usability of your yard or landscape
- Opportunities for vertical gardening and hanging lights
Custom Pergola Design Tailored to Your Property
