Why a Pergola Is the Ideal LA Upgrade
Los Angeles offers year-round sunshine, so why not take full advantage of your outdoor space? A custom pergola transforms even the simplest backyard into a luxurious escape. It provides shade on hot afternoons, defines lounge or dining areas, and enhances the architecture of your home. With the right design, your pergola becomes more than just a covering—it becomes a statement.
Whether you own a Spanish-style home in Hancock Park or a modern retreat in Venice, your pergola can be tailored to match your surroundings. Beyond beauty, pergolas also increase home value and extend your usable living space without major construction.

Why Choose Us for Pergola Installation in LA
As a locally-owned business, we understand the unique styles and climates across LA neighborhoods. A pergola in Beverly Hills needs to blend with upscale landscaping, while a design in Highland Park may aim for bohemian charm. Our experience across LA—from the beachy breeze of Marina del Rey to the desert-dry heat of Woodland Hills—means we build for longevity, function, and local style.
Our team is committed to craftsmanship, transparency, and satisfaction. We use premium materials, advanced tools, and licensed professionals to get the job done right. We manage every detail, including HOA approvals and building code compliance, so you don’t have to stress. Clients also appreciate our clear pricing and quick turnaround times. Most installations take just 3–6 weeks from consultation to completion.
Our Work Across LA Neighborhoods
We’ve helped homeowners all over Los Angeles reimagine their outdoor living. In Hollywood Hills, we designed a slatted ipe wood pergola that overlooks the skyline. Over in Brentwood, we installed a fully automated louvered system with integrated lighting for seamless day-to-night entertaining. Pacific Palisades clients often ask for ocean-resistant aluminum frames with minimalist lines, while in Sherman Oaks, we’ve blended rustic redwood designs into backyard gardens.
Every build is customized to match your vision and your property, ensuring it doesn’t just look amazing—but feels like home.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit to build a pergola in Los Angeles?
Yes, most pergola installations in LA require a building permit—especially if the structure is attached to your home or exceeds a certain size. Our team handles all the paperwork and city approvals, so you don’t have to worry about delays or compliance issues.
How much does a pergola cost in Los Angeles?
The cost varies depending on materials, size, and design complexity. Most of our custom pergola projects in LA fall between $5,000 and $25,000. A basic wood pergola will cost less than a fully motorized aluminum system with add-ons like lighting or retractable canopies. We always provide a transparent quote up front.
Can I use my pergola all year round?
Absolutely. With the right features—like motorized louvers, retractable fabric canopies, heaters, or built-in lighting—you can enjoy your pergola through every season in LA’s mild climate. Many of our clients in areas like Pasadena and West LA use their pergolas year-round for dining, relaxing, or even working outdoors.
What materials work best in LA's climate?
For sunny and dry inland areas like Studio City or Glendale, we recommend natural woods like cedar or thermally modified wood. For coastal zones like Santa Monica or Venice, aluminum or powder-coated steel holds up best against salt air and moisture. Our experts help you choose the right material for your location
Do you offer custom designs or only prefabricated options?
Every pergola we build is custom. From size and shape to materials, colors, and accessories—we tailor every detail to your space and style. We also offer 3D renderings before we begin construction so you can visualize the result.
