A PERGOLA is a garden feature forming a shaded walkway, passageway or sitting area. Normally constructed with vertical posts or pillars that usually support cross-beams and a sturdy open lattice. The origin of the word is Latin from the word pergula, referring to a projecting eave. Springview Landscape constructs custom made pergolas from Western Red Cedar lumber. Red cedar is one of the worlds most beautiful woods and is naturally decay and bug resistant. It also doesn’t bleed like many other woods which makes it perfect for stains and sealers.
