Pergolas

Shade, Structure, and a Pergola Built to Last

Your patio bakes in full sun by 11 a.m. A custom pergola makes it usable all day without closing it in.

The Problem

A Patio With No Shade Is a Patio You Avoid

Georgia summer sun makes an open patio unusable from late morning on. Furniture fades, the stone radiates heat into the evening, and the space you paid for sits empty while everyone stays inside.

4 Seasons Landscaping & Construction designs and builds custom pergolas across the North Atlanta metro. Attached to the house or freestanding over a patio or deck, a pergola breaks the sun with open or closed latticework while keeping the airflow that makes outdoor rooms comfortable.

We have built outdoor structures here since 2000, fully insured, family-owned. Call or text (678) 619-5236 and your free quote is ready by the next business day.

How We Build

Pergola Installation That Stays Square

A pergola is a simple structure that fails in simple ways: posts set shallow, beams undersized, hardware that rusts. We set footings below grade, size the timbers for the span, and build to match the architecture of your home rather than a kit catalog.

Because we also build the hardscape underneath, your pergola, patio, and lighting go in as one coordinated project. That is one quote, one crew, and one person responsible, with Nick supervising the build.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a pergola cost?

Pergola cost depends on size, material, and whether it attaches to the house or stands alone over new hardscape. A cedar pergola over an existing patio prices very differently from a full patio-and-pergola build. We quote your exact project for free, ready by the next business day. Call or text (678) 619-5236.

How long does pergola installation take?

Most standalone pergolas go up in a few days once footings cure. If we are building the patio beneath it at the same time, plan on a longer combined schedule, which we lay out in your written quote. Tell us what you are picturing and we will give you real dates.

Should my pergola be attached to the house or freestanding?

Attached pergolas extend a room and shade doors and windows. Freestanding pergolas define a destination out in the yard, often over a fire pit or dining area. The right answer depends on sun angles and how you use the space, which is exactly what we work out during the free design visit.

What is the best material for a pergola in Georgia heat and humidity?

Cedar is the workhorse here. It resists rot and insects naturally, takes stain well, and handles humidity far better than untreated lumber. We size the posts and beams for the span so the structure stays square through wet winters and July heat. Ask us to compare material options at your free design visit.

Can you add a pergola over my existing patio or deck?

Usually, yes. We confirm the surface can take the post loads, set proper footings, and match the pergola to your home's lines so it looks original. If the existing patio or deck is failing, it often makes sense to rebuild both together. Call or text (678) 619-5236 and send us a photo of the space.
