Serving Glendale, California
From Spanish Revival homes in the historic neighborhoods to hillside houses in the canyons above the city, Glendale backyards deserve outdoor structures that respect the architecture. We design custom pergolas, patio covers and outdoor living spaces for Glendale homes.
Living in Glendale
Glendale has some of the most characterful residential architecture in the region: Spanish Colonial Revival, Tudor and Craftsman homes in its older neighborhoods, mid-century houses on the slopes, and contemporary builds throughout. A pergola or patio cover here should look like it belongs with the house, through matching proportions, rafter details, colors and materials.
Terrain matters too. Neighborhoods in the Verdugo Mountains and San Rafael Hills, along with canyon areas like Chevy Chase and Glenoaks, often mean sloped yards, retaining walls, limited access and wildfire considerations. Flatter areas south of the foothills open up more conventional layouts with room for kitchens and gathering spaces.
