In Southern California, your backyard is only as usable as your shade allows. I've seen gorgeous patios sit unused because they're unbearable in summer.
Your Shade Options
Lattice Pergolas ($12,999+)
Classic look, partial shade. Great for areas that get morning sun but need afternoon relief. Most affordable option.
Solid Roof Pergolas ($15,999+)
Full shade and rain protection. Ideal for outdoor kitchens and dining areas where you want maximum coverage.
Louvered Pergolas ($25,000+)
Adjustable slats that open and close. Premium option that gives you sun when you want it and shade when you don't.
Attached vs. Freestanding
Attached structures connect to your house (more stable, permit implications). Freestanding gives more flexibility but may need sturdier footings.
We redid the deck, artificial turf, and pavers. — Brooke W.
Brooke's deck project included shade consideration from day one—ensuring the space would be usable year-round.
💡 Pro Tip
Consider your home's orientation. West-facing patios get brutal afternoon sun and need more aggressive shade solutions.
