Garden arches, entry arbors and trellises that frame a path, support climbing plants and add structure to the landscape.
An arbor says welcome. Set over a gate, a garden path or a bench, it frames the way forward and gives roses, wisteria and clematis something to climb. A trellis does the same on a wall or fence, adding height and green to flat spaces.
We build arbors and trellises from cedar and other durable woods or from metal, in arched, flat or gabled forms. We set posts deep enough to hold a mature vine, choose spacing for the plants you want and finish the wood to last. We also advise on which plants suit sun, shade and our local climate.
A full wisteria is heavy. We use stout posts and good joinery so the structure carries the vine for decades.
Arched tops, flat tops, gable roofs and lattice sides each give a different feel. We match the style to the house and garden.
Climbing roses, clematis, trumpet vine and jasmine each have different needs. We suggest plants that suit the light and your care level.
Arbors work over gates, paths, entries and seating. We position them for the view and for easy mowing and pruning access.

You tell us about the yard, the timeline and any concerns, and we set a time to visit that fits your day.
We walk the yard, study the sun and the house, take measurements and draw a plan with sizes and materials.
We write the scope, coordinate permits and HOA approvals, locate utilities and prepare the site.
Footings are poured, posts set plumb and beams and rafters go up in a planned order.
We stain or paint, add lights and features as planned and clean the site thoroughly.
We walk the finished pergola with you, share care tips and leave you to enjoy the shade.
Wide enough to walk through comfortably, typically four to five feet, and taller than the tallest person.
Most climbers are fine, but aggressive vines need pruning. We advise on plant choice.
Good wood, sealed ends and proper post setting help it last for many years.
Yes. We design arbors to match the gate and fence.
Yes, if it is built to be disassembled. Tell us in advance.
