Landscape Pergolas
We all love to soak in the beautiful Wisconsin summers, but sometimes the heat and intense UV rays can be too much. Pergolas are the perfect solution. A true backyard essential, they feature cross beams that soften the sun and provide just enough shade for your deck, patio, or garden. As versatile as they are elegant, pergolas can stand alone or act as an extension of your building’s roof.
If you’re considering adding a pergola to your landscape design masterpiece, R&R Enterprises is ready to help. With over 35 years of landscaping experience, we have the equipment and expertise to construct pergolas of all shapes, styles, and sizes. Whatever your vision may be, R&R Enterprises will bring it to life.
Why Choose Pergolas?
All outdoor living spaces have pros and cons, but pergolas offer truly special advantages, including:
- Shelter: Unlike pavilions, the sun is not entirely blocked out under the beams of a pergola. Instead, intense UV rays are blocked by cross beams while still allowing for a bright, outdoor feel. Plus, if weather requires full protection from the sky, your pergola can be easily equipped with a retractable canopy.
- Lighting: Pergolas let the perfect amount of sunlight through during the day, and can also feature beautiful lighting arrangements for the darker hours.
- Plants: It’s easy to incorporate your pergolas into your landscape gardens. Because of the balanced sunlight and convenient hanging, mounting, and vining possibilities offered by cross beams, pergolas and plants are a perfect match!
- Aesthetics: Elegant backyard architecture is undergoing a renaissance, and it’s easy to see why. Outdoor living spaces like pergolas are the perfect compliment to lush greenery and spacious lawns. Plus, pergolas act as a seamless addition to your building, increasing both your room to entertain and your property value.
What are Pergolas Made of?
Depending on your specific style and functionality preferences, you may want to choose one material over another for your new pergola. Luckily, R&R Enterprises offers a diverse selection of quality pergola materials, including:
- Metal: By far the most resilient material, metal can handle even the most brutal of weather. The only downside to this option is rust, but with regular maintenance and sealant application, the lifespan of your metal pergola will be greatly extended.
- Wood: Offering a natural aesthetic, wood is the most popular material used in pergola construction. While sealant can be applied to resist water damage, pests, and decay, certain species of wood naturally produce special oils which make them inherently more durable, including cedar, teak, redwood, and mahogany.
- Stone or Brick: To seamlessly match your the walls of your building, you may opt for your pergola to be made from stone or brick. As an added bonus, these timeless materials are durable and require little maintenance.
- PVC: Say goodbye to virtually all maintenance with a PVC pergola. Unlike wood and metal, the plastic of PVC is resilient on its own, whether or not it is tended to. Plus, PVC can be easily customized to your preferred color, size, and shape.
