Pergolas & Outdoor Structures

Defining Your Outdoor Space

A flat patio is functional. A patio with a heavy timber pergola has gravity. It gives the space vertical definition, filters the harsh summer sun, and turns a simple sitting area into a true outdoor room. We build serious outdoor structures in Edwardsville, Glen Carbon, and the surrounding Metro East communities. We do not construct snap together kits. We build from scratch using heavy timber beams, solid masonry columns, and industrial grade hardware.

When we design a pergola into your landscape plan, we evaluate exactly how you plan to use the space. Whether it is a freestanding structure out by the pool or a custom attached design covering your outdoor kitchen, the build process demands precision. The footings have to be dug deep and poured right. The columns need a solid foundation so they do not settle. The rafters must be sized correctly so they do not bow or warp over the years. We take pride in building it right the first time.

We offer both traditional open rafter designs for partial shade and solid pavilion structures for complete rain protection. The wood is carefully selected, treated, and finished to match the style of your home. We hide the hardware where possible and use decorative heavy gauge brackets where they are visible. The result is an architectural feature that looks like it belongs with your home and will stand up to anything the Midwest weather can throw at it.
