Serving Pasadena, California
Pasadena’s Craftsman bungalows, Spanish Revival homes and grand estates set a high bar for anything added to the backyard. We build pergolas, patio covers and outdoor living spaces with the craftsmanship and restraint Pasadena homes deserve.
Living in Pasadena
Pasadena is famous for its architecture, from the Arts and Crafts bungalows of neighborhoods like Bungalow Heaven to the Mediterranean and Period Revival homes of the western and southern parts of the city. Outdoor structures here often look best when they borrow from that tradition: exposed joinery, honest materials and proportions that feel at home with the house.
Pasadena summers are hot, and many lots have mature trees that offer partial shade but drop leaves and pods. Planning shade structures around existing trees, rather than fighting them, is part of the craft here, as is choosing materials and finishes that age gracefully.
