Bring your pergola to life with a custom trellis system designed to support climbing plants and flowering vines.

A living canopy, this design creates dappled shade while adding fragrance, color, and natural beauty to your outdoor space that changes throughout the year.
Upgrade your outdoor cooking experience with a custom pergola that covers your grilling and prep station. A pergola provides easy ventilation for smoke clearance and shade for the chef. Pergolas can also be customized to integrate lighting, ceiling fans, and even pull-down screens to extend your grilling season throughout the year.
Combine the warmth of cedar with the solidity of stone for a pergola that makes a dramatic statement. A hybrid design; natural stone columns are featured, supporting rich cedar beams, creating a perfect balance of textures. The stone bases can be customized to match existing hardscaping elements for a cohesive look throughout your property.
Create your own resort-style retreat with a tropical cabana pergola complete with flowing curtains and comfortable seating.

Or add curtains that can be tied back or closed completely, transforming your pergola into a semi-private outdoor room. With the right, cushy seating and tropical plantings, your backyard becomes the ultimate staycation space right at home.

“What a great experience overall. They transformed our outdoor space. Matt and his team were great. They made sure we were completely satisfied before taking the final payment. He has also been around to answer a few follow-up questions and add some details to our outdoor kitchen after completion. Highly recommend!”

“We called Clark Outdoor Designs and Bailey came out to give us an estimate. Did some research and looked at some of his teams work and knew they were going to be the ones for the job. Two days and they were done. Such attention to detail and the finished product is amazing. Only wish I would have chosen them for the fence as well.”

“We had a good experience with Clark Outdoor Designs. They provided computer images of what the final result would look like – we have worked with several larger contractors and no one has ever provided renderings like that so it made a difference in our choice. He was patient in answering our questions and re-working the estimate until we landed on exactly what we wanted.”
