Transform your garden with bespoke wooden pergolas



Bespoke wooden pergola

At Flourish Landscaping, we’ve seen a surge in demand for bespoke wooden pergolas, and it's easy to understand why. These timeless garden structures not only provide functional spaces for relaxation but also elevate your outdoor area’s aesthetic appeal. Whether you're looking to create an intimate seating area, a shaded space for outdoor dining, or a striking focal point, a custom-built pergola could be the perfect addition to your garden.


Why choose a bespoke wooden pergola?


A bespoke wooden pergola offers endless design possibilities, tailored specifically to your garden’s size, shape, and style. Unlike off-the-shelf options, our custom pergola designs are crafted with your unique needs in mind, ensuring you get a structure that complements your garden’s overall aesthetic.


Some of the key benefits include:


  • Personalised design: Whether you prefer a modern, minimalist look or something more traditional, our wooden pergola designs can be crafted to reflect your style.

  • Functional outdoor space: A pergola seating area can turn an unused corner of your garden into a luxurious retreat.

  • Striking focal point: A pergola can act as a dramatic centrepiece in your garden, framing pathways, entrances, or acting as a beautiful cover for your patio, decking, or dining areas.

  • Enhanced property value: Adding a bespoke pergola can increase the appeal of your home by creating a versatile outdoor living area.

  • Support for plants: Pergolas can also support a wide range of climbing plants, such as wisteria or roses, adding natural beauty and shade to your garden while embracing outdoor living.


Types of wood and treatment options


The choice of wood for your bespoke wooden pergola depends on your budget and the desired look. We offer several options to suit different preferences:


  • Oak: A premium choice, oak is known for its durability and strength, ideal for those seeking a traditional and long-lasting pergola.

  • Cedar: Slightly more affordable than oak, cedar is lightweight and naturally resistant to rot and insects, making it a beautiful and low-maintenance option.

  • Treated pine: The most budget-friendly option, treated pine offers excellent durability for the price. It undergoes a treatment process to protect it from decay and insect damage, making it suitable for long-term outdoor use.


To ensure your pergola’s longevity, we apply protective treatments like pressure-treating, staining, or oiling, depending on the wood type. These treatments help safeguard the wood against the elements and maintain its aesthetic appeal.


Long-term maintenance of wooden pergolas


While our bespoke pergolas are built to last, regular maintenance will keep them looking their best. We recommend:


  • Annual cleaning: A gentle wash with soapy water helps to remove dirt and grime.

  • Re-staining or oiling: Depending on the type of wood, applying a fresh coat of stain or oil every two to three years will protect the wood and maintain its colour.

  • Routine inspections: Check for any signs of wear, such as cracks or warping, and address issues promptly to prevent further damage.
