Outdoor carpentry has become a specialty skill in the construction trades. It combines the craftsmanship and artistry of woodworking with the knowledge of exterior climate effects on wood and fasteners. Proper design and construction of structures for the outdoors requires professional knowledge and specialized experience. Exposure to seasonal elements can play havoc on outdoor structures resulting in weakness and instability if not designed and built properly. 

A natural wooden structure such as a gazebo, pergola or trellis can add elemental interest in your outdoor living environment. Blending of architectural design elements, patterns and styles can result in artistic and breathtaking detail. Transforming your outdoor space with a new deck, grill enclosure or custom planter box can be just the finishing touch needed for your outdoor enjoyment. Many outdoor kitchens incorporate some form of outdoor carpentry for functional and aesthetic purposes.

Gates, fences and screen walls can be artistic elements that provide the privacy or separation desired in your outdoor space. Wooden stairways, footbridges and walkways can be a welcome contrast in a landscape designed with colorful plantings and stonework. Your outdoor living space deserves the proper planning and design focus combining these various elements. 

Are you looking to transform your outdoor space this season? Are you spending more time in your own backyard entertaining your family and friends?

It’s hard to believe another season is coming to a close. November is a month of change. Trees change color and lose their foliage, temperatures drop below freezing forcing our plants to hibernate, and daylight hours minimize the daytime spent outdoors.
