A small yard can still have a great outdoor room. Here is how to make a compact space feel bigger and more useful with a pergola.
Many Nashville lots are narrow, and many townhomes and infill houses have little yard to spare. A small space can still be a lovely outdoor room if the structure is sized and placed with care. A pergola gives height and definition without eating up space.
We measure carefully and design compact pergolas that fit patios and decks. We use slim posts, wall-mounted frames and corner layouts to save space, add privacy screens to block neighbors and plan seating and lighting so every square foot works.
Corners and wall mounts save space.
Room for a table and two chairs or more.
Block views from neighbors.
Space feels larger.
Greenery without a big footprint.
Nothing wasted.
