Spending time outdoors is one of the quickest ways to reset, de-stress, and rejuvenate yourself. You build memories with your family and friends, have a space to decompress, and enjoy the fresh air. The problem is, Texas gets downright hot. Spending time outside is delightful, but only for a short while in the sun. Having the experts at Love for Lawns design and install a pergola solves the problem of wanting to be outside and wanting to beat the heat. It's the best of both worlds, having your own shady sanctuary while still getting the purity of the open air. Put simply, a pergola is an outdoor structure with a gridded roof that offers some shade while still being open to allow in the breeze and make sure you maintain the outdoor feel. Let's face it, with 300 out of 365 days a year in the Leander area being bright and sunny, you'll need a break from the shade no matter how much you like to be out in nature.
The structure can be either attached to your main building or a free-standing entity. It can extend from the front to cover an awning, serve as a separate space on the side, or cover an already-developed portion of the backyard; there are very few limitations to where it can go. Pergolas are often confused with gazebos and arbors, but some key design differences separate the structures. One of the main ones is the type of roof pergolas have. Many pergolas have latticed roofs rather than a fully closed design that would be more like a patio cover or gazebo. Instead, you can go with the option of a full-cover that you place over the gridded roof, a light, open, shady area or one that's slightly more closed-off.
Pergolas can also be used to help other elements of your landscape flourish. Planting climbing flowers or beautiful vines or ivy that naturally weave themselves up the beams of the structure is an easy way to make your outdoor area feel unique and classy. You can also drape hanging plants over the supports or intertwine lights with blooming flowers near the structure's corners. The freedom to make the space all-your-own is one of the best parts of installing a pergola.
Of course, the safety of the investment is another plus. The addition serves as a huge markup for your home, clocking in with a return on investment of up to 80% if it's well-constructed and well-maintained.
