Pergola design and installation in Memphis, TN

A pergola defines an outdoor space the way a room defines an interior one. It gives the area structure, scale and purpose without closing it off from the sky and the surroundings. Baltz & Sons Design builds pergolas across Memphis, Germantown, Collierville, Bartlett and beyond, attached or freestanding, open or louvered, simple or fully outfitted.

Material matters on a pergola more than on almost any other outdoor structure, because it is fully exposed to sun, rain and Memphis humidity. We help you choose between wood, vinyl and aluminum based on the look you want and how much upkeep you are comfortable with, and we build on a proper foundation so the structure stays solid.

Reviews

★★★★★

“These guys are busy but well worth the wait! The design was excellent and the crews fulfilled our expectations completely. Kevin did a great job with the design of a new cabana and grill station addition to the pool deck. I was surprised later to find that he won first place in Residential Design with his work. These guys are highly recommended!”

“Baltz & Sons was the perfect selection for our driveway project. The owner, Kevin, goes above and beyond for customers. We appreciated how he communicated throughout the job. The creativity he brought to the table was so helpful. My husband and I weren’t entirely sure what the end result should look like and Kevin came up with ideas that were just what we needed, all the while coming up with something that was reasonably priced. Our driveway is just what we wanted!”

“We are more than pleased with the work done by Baltz and Sons Concrete. They redid our driveway and added masonry walls with integrated lights and it all looks beautiful. I can’t recommend them enough. They are wonderful!”
