Pergolas & Kitchen Gardens · Hertfordshire

Extend your living space into the garden.

A pergola or outdoor kitchen garden creates a sheltered, beautiful outdoor room. A place to cook, dine and relax with family and friends, long after the British summer has faded.

Discuss Your Pergola / Garden Kitchen

Beautiful homes. More space. Expertly built.

The Opportunity

Your garden is part of your home, but only when the weather allows.

British gardens are beautiful for half the year and unused for the other half. A sunny patio becomes a windswept slab the moment the weather turns, and the garden sits just beyond the back door, unloved.

A pergola or kitchen garden structure changes that. It creates a sheltered, defined outdoor room that you can use from spring through to autumn,  and with the right design, well beyond.

It's one of the most enjoyable ways to extend your living space without extending your house.

FAQS

Pergola and garden kitchen questions, Answered.

What is a pergola?

A pergola is an outdoor garden structure — usually timber or aluminium — with posts and a roof of beams, slats or glazing. It creates a sheltered, defined outdoor room for dining, relaxing or entertaining.

Many pergolas fall under Permitted Development, particularly if they're under a certain height and not attached to the house. Larger or attached structures may need permission. We'll advise on your specific case.

Yes. We can design a pergola with an integrated outdoor kitchen, bar, worktop and dining area, creating a full outdoor entertaining space.

Costs vary widely depending on size, materials, whether it includes a kitchen, and the level of finish. We'll provide a clear, itemised quote after understanding what you'd like.

A pergola is typically a relatively quick project, often taking one to two weeks depending on complexity and whether an outdoor kitchen is included.

With the right design, and including a roof, integrated heating and lighting — a pergola can be used well into the autumn and even winter. We'll discuss how you want to use it and design accordingly.

We work in both timber and aluminium, depending on the look and maintenance you prefer. Timber gives a warm, natural feel; aluminium offers a sleeker, more contemporary look with minimal maintenance.

A well-designed pergola or outdoor kitchen can add both value and appeal, particularly as outdoor living becomes more popular. It also makes your home more enjoyable to live in while you're there.

That's completely normal. We'll explore what's possible for your garden and help you decide — with no pressure.
