Outdoor Living Structures FAQs

What types of pergolas does Deck By Design build?
Deck By Design builds fully custom wood pergolas, designed around each homeowner’s yard, home architecture, and intended use. Attached and freestanding configurations are available, and every structure is built to an above-code standard using materials selected for longevity and appearance. The design is finalized and rendered in 3D before construction begins, so there are no surprises on build day.
A pergola pairs naturally with a range of outdoor living additions, including paver patios, fire pits, privacy screens, and outdoor kitchens. Deck By Design frequently designs these as integrated spaces rather than separate installations, which produces a more cohesive result and a yard that feels purpose-built rather than assembled over time.
What is the difference between a pergola, a pavilion, and a trellis?
A pergola is an open overhead structure, typically with a latticed or open-beam roof, that provides partial shade and defines an outdoor area. A pavilion features a solid roof and offers full coverage from the elements. A trellis is a lighter framework, often used for climbing plants or as a decorative screen. Deck By Design builds all three and can help homeowners determine which structure best suits their space and goals.
Yes. Deck By Design manages all city permitting, and we’ll deliver the necessary HOA documentation to you. Homeowners are not left to navigate that process alone, and the team ensures every structure exceeds local code requirements before construction begins.
