Building a New Patio for Your Pergola

Starting with a fresh slate for your patio and planning to add a pergola? Great! A bit of foresight and planning can streamline the entire process, ensuring a seamless integration of both elements that enhances your outdoor living space.

The Integrated Approach to Patio and Pergola Installation

It’s a common thought to first complete the patio and then think about adding the pergola. However, this approach often leads to unnecessary complications later on. A smarter strategy is to integrate the pergola into your initial plans.

Begin by selecting the pergola that best suits your vision – consider both the size and the style. Once you’ve made your choice, obtain a floorplan for that specific model along with any preparation guidelines. This information is vital for the team working on your patio, as it allows them to tailor the construction process to accommodate the pergola from the start.

If you opt for one of our SimpoLiving pergolas, we go a step further. Simply reach out to us and we will collaborate directly with your landscapers, ensuring a smooth and cohesive process. This proactive approach ensures that your patio and pergola come together seamlessly, avoiding any future headaches and paving the way for a beautifully integrated outdoor space.
