Pergolas

These elegant and versatile structures have become a favorite for homeowners who want to create a defined space for relaxation, dining, or entertaining.

At West Hills Masonry, our expert hardscape contractors specialize in designing and building custom pergolas that not only enhance the aesthetics of your backyard but also provide functional and durable outdoor spaces.

What Are Pergolas?

Pergolas are outdoor structures typically made of woodWood is a natural, organic material derived from trees, commonly used in landscaping and constructio..., metal, or vinyl, with a roof constructed from horizontal slats or beams. Unlike full-roof structures, pergolas provide partial shade while still allowing sunlight to filter through.

They are ideal for defining an area in your yard, such as a seating area, outdoor kitchen, or garden pathway. With the right design, pergolas can become a stunning focal point that adds both visual appeal and practicality to your landscape.

Benefits of Adding Pergolas to Your Backyard

Adding a pergola to your backyard can significantly transform your outdoor space. Here are some key benefits:

Shade and Comfort: Although pergolas don’t provide full coverage, they offer just the right amount of shade, making it more comfortable to enjoy the outdoors on sunny days.
Versatility: Whether you want to create a dining area, a lounge space, or a garden feature, pergolas are highly versatile and can be customized to suit your specific needs.
Aesthetic Appeal: Pergolas add a touch of sophistication and charm to any landscape. They can be designed to complement the architectural style of your home and existing outdoor features.
Increased Property Value: A well-designed pergola can enhance the overall value of your property by adding an attractive and functional outdoor living space.
Customization: You can personalize your pergola with features like climbing plantsClimbing plants are plants that grow vertically, often using structures like trellises, walls, or fe..., hanging lights, curtains, or outdoor furniture, making it a true extension of your home.

By working with professional hardscape contractors, you can ensure that your pergola is not only beautiful but also built to last.

Pergola Design Options

When it comes to designing pergolas, the possibilities are endless. Our hardscape contractors at West Hills Masonry offer a variety of options to suit your preferences and the layout of your outdoor space.

Some popular design elements include:

Freestanding Pergolas: These are ideal for creating a distinct space away from the house, such as a poolside lounge or a garden retreat.
Attached Pergolas: This type of pergola is attached to the exterior wall of your home, making it an extension of your living space. It’s perfect for covering a patio, deck, or outdoor kitchen.
Arched Pergolas: For a more dramatic and elegant look, arched pergolas feature curved beams that provide a unique aesthetic appeal.
Louvered Pergolas: These pergolas come with adjustable louvers that allow you to control the amount of sunlight and airflow.
Pergolas with Retractable Canopies: For those who want more control over the shade, pergolas with retractable canopies provide flexibility. You can easily adjust the canopy based on the weather and your comfort.

Whether you prefer a modern, minimalist design or a more traditional look, our team of hardscape contractors can help bring your vision to life.

Materials for Pergolas

Choosing the right material for your pergola is essential for ensuring its durability and long-term functionality. Here are some of the most popular materials used in pergola construction:

Wood: Natural wood, such as cedar or redwood, is a classic choice for pergolas. It offers a rustic, warm look and blends seamlessly into most landscapes. However, wood requires regular maintenance, including staining or sealing, to prevent weather damage.
Vinyl: Vinyl pergolas are low-maintenance and durable. They’re resistant to weathering, and unlike wood, they don’t require regular staining or sealing. Vinyl also offers a clean, modern look that can suit a variety of outdoor styles.
Aluminum: If you want a more contemporary look, aluminum pergolas are sleek, lightweight, and durable. They are rust-resistant and require very little maintenance, making them ideal for humid climates or areas near the coast.
SteelSteel is a strong, durable alloy made primarily of iron and carbon, commonly used in construction an...: For a more industrial or modern design, steel pergolas are strong and durable. They can be powder-coated in various colors to match your outdoor space.

Our experienced hardscape contractors will work with you to determine the best material based on your budget, design preferences, and climate.

  Carlos and his team are truly professionals. Not only he raised a potential issue that none of the other companies we interviewed caught, he also went above and beyond our original scope of project with not much delay even with bad weather condition. Everyone on the team is very professional, always show up on time with company logos on the shirt so we can recognize them when some new faces shows up. The communication during the design and construction phases was also very effective with great suggestions. Over all we are supper happy with our backyard renovation project. The end result is better than our expectations and most importantly it's worry free throughout the whole process. I highly recommend them for any hardscape renovation projects.

They came out walked the job and were very easy to communicate with. Helped figure out a couple of weird little areas that we didn't quite know what to do with. Guys took their time, cleaned up everyday, protected other areas. Highly recommend!

  We had a fantastic experience with West Hills Masonry. We reached out to Carlos to have our fireplaces redone in stone veneer. From the point that we contacted him to the end of the project, he was always very respectful, responsive, and professional. You can expect the same from his crew. They did a fantastic job, and we would highly recommend them for your masonry needs. We would hire them again in a heartbeat!

  We wanted to an entire backyard remodel consisting of a pool install and carving of a hillside. It was a big under taking and West Hills worked so expeditiously day in and day out for months. If there were any unforeseen issues in our project they communicated clearly what our options were to tackle the problem. Come to think of it, they never told me something couldn't be done. They always came with a solution or a way to adjust to make things work. They also responded promptly to all my questions so our project stayed on course. We were so pleased and would recommend them for any outdoor projects.

  We had a great experience with West Hills Masonry. 

Carlos is an honest, hardworking owner who had fantastic response time. We had no idea how or where to get started on our new home landscaping.  After contacting Carlos, he was great at listening to what we wanted in our backyard and helped us design the backyard from scratch.

He and his team were very communicative about their schedule, listened to exactly what we wanted, and revised their plans throughout the process until we both felt it would be the perfect backyard.

They built out two beautiful patios and the backyard with a gorgeous water feature. There were no surprises along the way.  We are very happy with the results!

The crew members onsite were also always great. Carlos V. was the project manager, and our main point of contact onsite. He was great about answering any questions we had about the project

We would highly recommend working with west Hills Masonry.  We hope to get the opportunity to work with them again in the future.

  Carlos has a very seasoned eye and an attentive ear for home landscape design. We were very impressed with his knowledge in implementing our general design guidelines into his final drawings for submission to our HOA for approval.

  We had a great experience with Carlos, Carlos, and the crew.  We had about 2,000 square feet of pavers and a patio cover installed by West Hills.  We are super happy with the project.  Our back yard is incredible now.

The crew started when they said they would, and those guys worked super hard.  I was amazed at the progress they made each day.  The pavers went in very fast.  The side yard drainage issue I had is no more!  That alone was worth a lot to me.

The only hang up was the patio cover.  We had to get a permit, and the city took forever because of limited appointments due to COVID.  Carlos did his best to keep things moving along.  It also took some time to get the materials.  

I think the price was reasonable for all the work that was done.  Carlos checked in regularly, and made sure the job was progressing.  Everyone on the crew was very nice when I went out to check on progress.

We are very satisfied.  I will not hesitate to recommend or use West Hills again in the future.
