Craftsmanship That Stands the Test of Time

Building an arbor isn’t just about assembling wood and hardware. It’s about understanding how different materials weather the seasons, how plants will interact with the structure over time, and how to create something that becomes more beautiful with age. Our craftsmen select each piece of lumber with care, ensuring proper grain orientation and natural resistance to the elements.

The difference between a good arbor and a great one often lies in the details that aren’t immediately visible. Proper joinery techniques, strategic placement of support beams, and thoughtful drainage considerations all contribute to a structure that will grace your garden for decades. When you choose Giovanni’s Designs, you’re investing in expertise that goes far beyond basic construction.

Design Options That Reflect Your Style

Perhaps you’ve always imagined a classic arched arbor marking the entrance to your vegetable garden, or maybe you’re drawn to the clean lines of a modern pergola-style design. Our portfolio includes traditional styles that evoke cottage garden charm, contemporary structures with bold geometric elements, and rustic designs that feel like they’ve grown naturally from the landscape.

Materials play a crucial role in bringing your vision to life. Cedar offers natural beauty and excellent weather resistance, while pressure-treated lumber provides durability at a more accessible price point. For those seeking something truly unique, we also work with reclaimed wood that tells its own story through weathered textures and rich patina.

The Installation Process Made Simple

Starting a new outdoor project can feel overwhelming, but our process is designed to make your experience as smooth as possible. During our initial site visit, we’ll assess your space, discuss your goals, and explore design possibilities that work within your budget. This conversation often sparks ideas you hadn’t considered and helps refine your vision into a concrete plan.

Once the design is finalized, our team handles all the heavy lifting. Site preparation, precise measurements, and careful installation ensure your new arbor will be perfectly positioned and securely anchored. Throughout the process, we maintain clear communication about timeline and any adjustments that might enhance the final result. Your satisfaction doesn’t end with installation. Every arbor comes with guidance on maintenance best practices and suggestions for plants that will thrive in your specific growing conditions. After all, an arbor truly comes alive when adorned with the greenery you choose to accompany it. Contact us and learn more about our arbor services today!

Outdoor Arbors FAQs

Most vigorous climbers like clematis or honeysuckle will begin showing significant coverage by their second season, with full coverage typically achieved within three to four years. Annual vines like morning glories can provide immediate seasonal coverage while your perennial plants establish themselves.

Uneven terrain actually presents interesting design opportunities. Our team can incorporate terracing elements or adjust the arbor’s foundation to work with natural slopes, often creating more dynamic and visually interesting installations than perfectly flat sites.

Cedar naturally resists insects and decay without chemical treatment, offering beautiful grain patterns that weather to an elegant silver-gray. Pressure-treated lumber provides excellent longevity at a lower cost but requires staining or sealing to maintain its appearance over time.

Most residential arbors don’t require permits since they’re considered temporary structures, but regulations vary by municipality. During our consultation, we’ll review local requirements and handle any necessary paperwork if permits are needed for your specific project.
