Enhance Your Landscaping With a Custom Covered Structure
In the Pacific Northwest, we love the outdoors and take every opportunity to spend some time in nature. Our wet winters and hot summers are not always conducive to sitting in the yard. However, with one of our custom covered structures, you can enjoy the fresh air any time of year.
Landscape East & West is committed to creating beautiful and functional landscapes no matter what size yard you have. Through decades in the business, we have developed a reputation as Portland’s premier landscaping company, answering your landscape dilemmas with beautiful and functional spaces.
Our custom covered structures offer protection from rain and sun, but there’s so much more. A covered structure may enclose an outdoor kitchen, dining area, lounge, or firepit, adding extra living space to your home. The high-quality custom designs we create can complement your home’s architecture, stand as stunning focal points, and boost the curb appeal and value of your property.
Best known for their role in supporting vines such as grapes or wisteria, our hand-built pergolas are a framework of pillars that support crossbeams and open lattice. It is an open structure that allows filtered light in but can be covered with fabric for added sun protection.
A freestanding, covered structure with a roof and open sides that can be large enough for a porch swing or large table to accommodate an outdoor event. Whether a simple structure or a more intricate design, our gazebos can add romance or European flair to your yard.
Providing a seamless transition from inside to outside is as simple as adding a cover or roof to your patio. The space can be enclosed or open and versatile in how you use it: Cozy fireplace, modern kitchen, casual firepit, relaxing hot tub –whatever your vision, we can make it happen.
While these structures don’t provide rain protection, the arched structures with latticed roofs create a tunnel that forms an enticing entryway, walkway, or focal point. Our expert woodworkers can design the structure to arc over a water feature, support flowering vines, or be flanked by greenery to add drama to your landscape.
Because we custom design our covered structures, you have choices. From materials to color and roof type, we’ll work with you to ensure the result matches your home and your taste. A good place to start is with the type of material the structure will be built from.
The majority of structures we build in the Pacific Northwest are wood because they best match the natural look of our region. However, modern homes may call for steel. No matter what we use, our intent is to have your structure blend seamlessly with the overall aesthetic of your property from roof to trim.
Often we combine metal and wood, using steel for it’s durability and strength, and wood to soften the look. Fir or cedar are the wood types most often used —rough side out for a rustic look or finished side out or more polish. Steel can be used beyond the framing, added as an accent or trim to a wooden structure. Similarly, wood accents add depth to a steel structure.It’s not just the choice of wood or steel, we can also add sky lights, heaters, fans, lights, and sound systems into the structure to truly customize it for your needs as well as your tastes. No matter what materials or functional design elements you pick, our custom structures are built to require minimal maintenance and last for decades.
Our custom covered structures are the design element or added living space that pulls your landscape together. When planning your yard, consider a wisteria covered arbor or a covered porch for added space to entertain. Contact us for a free consultation on designing your outdoor living space. We’ll make your ideas come to life.
