Pergolas

Have you ever looked at your backyard or patio and felt like something was missing? An architectural element that could define the space, add a touch of elegance, and provide a perfect blend of sun and shade is a pergola. This stunning outdoor structure consists of vertical posts or pillars that hold a series of cross-beams and a sturdy open lattice. It can serve as a support for beautiful climbing plants like wisteria, provide shade in the summer, or hold lighting solutions for cool fall evenings. No matter how you use it, one thing is sure: the pergola will enrich your lifestyle and significantly increase your property value.

If you’re a homeowner in the Detroit Metro area and are interested in adding one of these captivating structures to your landscape, contact our pergola builders today! Whether you envision a sleek, modern design with clean lines and metal accents or a rustic, traditional wooden structure that evokes the charm of a country garden, Great Lakes Landscape Design is here to help you bring that vision to life.

One of the most exciting parts of the design process is discovering the wide array of pergola options available to you. Our pergola installers in Detroit, MI, can help you choose a solution that reflects your personal style and functional needs perfectly. Some of our most popular options include:

• Attached Pergolas: An attached pergola is anchored to your home, creating a seamless transition from your indoor living space to your outdoor patio or deck.

• Freestanding Pergolas: A freestanding pergola, on the other hand, can be placed anywhere in your yard. This allows you to create anything from a poolside cabana or secluded retreat to a garden centerpiece.

• Louvered Pergolas: For the ultimate control over sun and shade, consider a pergola with a louvered roof. These innovative systems feature adjustable louvers that can be opened to let the sunlight in, angled to provide partial shade, or closed completely to provide protection from rain. Many systems are motorized and can be operated with the touch of a button.

• Custom Features: We can enhance your pergola with a wide range of custom features, including integrated lighting for evening ambiance, retractable canopies for adjustable shade, privacy walls or curtains, and even built-in heaters or fans to extend your outdoor season.

Choosing the right company to bring your outdoor vision to life is just as important as the design itself. For over three decades, Great Lakes Landscape Design has been the trusted choice for discerning homeowners throughout Metro Detroit. What began as a passionate endeavor by Ivan Katz in 1989 has evolved into an award-winning, custom landscape design-build firm recognized for its excellence and innovation.
