Are you wondering what you can do to upgrade your yard and property? You can always go the standard route which is to have a lawn with trees, shrubs and flowers but you can do so much more. There are some great ways to utilize your property that will not only add beauty to your home but will also give you more usable space. One of the ways you can add to the exterior of your home is to have a pergola built. This is a great addition to your home and property. If you are considering a pergola it is a great idea to know what it is exactly and what the benefits are. Mickey’s LawnScapes offers some helpful insight below.
What is a Pergola?
If you are interested in having a pergola built in your backyard, you need to know what it is. A pergola can be a structure that is attached to the side of your house or it can stand alone. It is usually a wood structure that is built with beams that are used to create the roof. The beams run across and leave some gaps in the structure. It can be built in the shape and size that you want depending on your needs. You can have your pergola painted or stained if you want to show off the natural wood grain.
Pergolas Give Good Shade
One of the greatest benefits that you get when you have a pergola built at your house is you can use it for shade. This is a great place to set up your outdoor patio furniture so that you can sit back and relax. The yard that you had before that you were not able to enjoy is not a usable space.
Plants & Vines Can Grow Well on Pergola
A pergola is a great addition to a home that has a garden and other shrubs. The way that a pergola is laid out is perfect for vines and other climbing plants to exist. They can be planted on the ground around the built pergola and allowed to climb the structure. The vines are a great way to increase the shade that the pergola is giving as well as add beauty to your property as well.
Custom Pergola
The other added benefit that you have when you choose a pergola is that you can use the space for many different ways. The pergola is set up so that you can use it to create a space. You can use the beams to hang plants and other elements of décor. You can also have lights that are strung up to create a mood and ambience. This is the best way to enjoy your pergola no matter the time of day.
