Trellises & Arbors Ventura, CA

What types of materials do you use for trellises and arbors?

We construct gorgeous custom trellises and arbors from cedar, redwood and pressure-treated pine woods prized for weather resistance, workability and natural beauty. Metal and PVC options are also available. We source high-quality domestic lumber ideal for handcrafted outdoor structures built to endure Ventura’s coastal elements.

What size trellis or arbor do I need for my patio or garden path?

Trellis and arbor sizes vary dramatically based on desired function and available space. During our site evaluation, we help determine optimal dimensions and placements based on your layout, existing landscaping and what you wish a new trellis or arbor to accomplish functionally and aesthetically.

How much privacy and sunlight coverage do trellises and arbors provide?

With strategically positioned crossbeams and planned vegetation, trellises and arbors filter views and sunlight to different degrees. An open-air wooden structure allows dappled light for shade-loving plants while a densely latticed trellis coated in climbing vines can nearly eliminate visibility enhancing seclusion. Share your sunlight, privacy and line-of-sight priorities so we can factor them into the design.

Do you provide maintenance for the trellises and arbors you build?

Yes, we offer follow-up maintenance services to keep your custom trellis or arbor looking pristine over time. This includes periodic inspection for structural issues, cleaning, protective re-staining and sealing if needed, clearing overgrown vegetation, repairing minor damage, and tuning up integrated features like lighting. Ask about joining our annual maintenance plan.

How long do trellises and arbors built by your team typically last?

Thanks to quality construction and materials, our custom trellis and arbor creations last 20+ years on average. We’ve built garden structures still going strong after 35+ years! With occasional maintenance and by avoiding excessive moisture buildup, a timber trellis or arbor we handcraft expressly for your backyard is designed to age gracefully for decades of daily enjoyment.

Will adding a trellis or arbor increase my home’s value?

Yes, installing a custom-built trellis or arbor is an appraised upgrade that boosts resale value like other permanent backyard improvements. By increasing usable living space for entertainment and beautifying the landscape’s curb appeal, you can recoup 50-75% at resale. And you get to enjoy the upgraded backyard every day in the meantime!

Do trellises or arbors require footings or anchoring?

Yes, proper structural support is critical when installing permanent backyard additions like custom trellises and arbors built from wood, metal or PVC. Our experienced crews handle necessary site preparation, footings and reinforcing to meet California building codes so your new structure withstands wind, moisture and years of use.

How long does the trellis/arbor installation process take?

The full process spans approximately three to six weeks from design consultation to final installation. We require at least 50% deposit to commence project-specific construction offsite in our workshop which takes two to three weeks. Once your custom trellis or arbor is complete, our professional team schedules delivery and handles on-site installation in just a few days depending on complexity.
