Custom-built pergolas that make your outdoor space more useful and inviting.
Looking for a pergola in Melbourne? Art of Gardening & Landscaping designs and builds custom pergolas to suit your home and garden. Whether you want a standalone pergola or an outdoor area with decking, we help you plan a space that works for you.
Every backyard is different. We plan each pergola around the space available, the way you want to use it, and the landscaping already in place or planned alongside it.
Dimensions, positioning and access considered as part of the overall outdoor layout.
Wooden structures with proportions and details that suit your garden.
Coordinate your pergola with decking, paths, planting and surrounding outdoor areas.
Timber pergolas offer a warm, natural look that suits many garden styles. The right proportions, post placement and detailing help the structure feel like part of the landscape rather than an afterthought.
We can discuss open-beam designs and project-specific roof arrangements based on your needs and the design agreed for your space.
Some pergolas extend an outdoor area beside the home; others become a feature within the garden. The right approach depends on your space, how the structure will be used and site-specific construction requirements.



A successful pergola build starts before the posts go in. We consider the position of the structure, access to the site, ground conditions and how it connects with adjacent outdoor surfaces.
Construction planning may include footing locations, levels, structural connections and coordination with nearby decking or paving. Any required approvals and technical requirements are assessed for the individual project.
A pergola and deck can work together to create a more practical and inviting outdoor area.
