Wood Structures

Wood structures can be many things: decks, arbors, pergolas, gazebos, trellis, bridges, gates, entryways, or fences and have a variety of purposes. An arbor may be installed to create a sun break for the hot days here in Colorado, or a custom gateway to invite passers through into the next portion of the landscape. We have built entire stand alone structures that are buildings in themselves adding true retreats to the landscape. Most wood structures have more than one purpose. Sun break, wind break, sense of enclosure, sense of passageway, screening, and light mounting are some good examples of what wood structures can bring the landscape.

This large arbor really helps define the space on this deck and makes it feel much more like a room, as well as provides relief from the sun on the hot summer days. The existing deck was cut so we could fully integrate the fire place into it. Low voltage lighting fixtures are mounted in the arbor to light up the beautiful rock. A great place to watch the sun set or have a midday snack. The gazebo in the background is a 12' x 12' cedar unit with composite flooring. We installed low voltage lighting on select posts on the outside and a switch for a light inside the gazebo. A rustic arbor can help transform a patio into an outdoor living space as well as helping screen out undesirable views.
A fully covered front porch including shingles and gutters was installed on this project. An element that allows further enjoyment of this front porch and landscape even when raining or on the hottest of Denver afternoons. This double wood gate has iron inserts mimicking grape vines to further the feel of the Tuscan design. Trellis and custom gateways are a great entrance to any landscape. Passing through a gateway is a symbolic change of mind state. We use gateways often just for this reason.
Arbors can be made to fit any style. This has a nice clean style to be congruent with the interior design. This small arbor frames the outdoor kitchen and also has down lights to accent posts and illuminate the cook top. This large arbor really makes this cozy courtyard feel much more like an outdoor room.
This arbor is a good example of what is possible with woodwork. The beams on this arbor are 4 This bench was actually removed from a deck and retrofitted into the landscape. It makes for a great additional area to relax and enjoy the surrounding landscape. Bridges are another symbolic change of mind state as well as add interest.
An Asian style entryway/ trellis is seen in the background. It helps tie together this informal landscape project and also frames up the mountains when viewing from inside the sauna room. Double post detail on each side is a nice accent to this front porch. The roof structure opens the opportunity for more landscape lighting. The large arbor on this project gives a sense of enclosure to the outdoor living space. The pergola was designed with
This large scale arbor makes the space feel much more like a room and adds a sense of enclosure. Overhead structures give additional lighting options. All our arbors and pergolas are custom one of a kind products. In this landscape we installed a full gabled roof which gives both shade break and is a great place to enjoy the outdoors even when raining. The pergola with shade element reduces the direct sunlight by about 75% allowing the hot summer days to be more enjoyable. Tumbled pillars and real rock tile were selected in this project to compliment the Tuscan style of the home. The transformation was dramatic and can also be enjoyed from the inside of the house through the windows.
