Are you looking to transform your boring backyard into a modern outdoor living space? If you are reading this article it is possible that you currently have a pergola in your yard, or are interested in getting one.

Putting a pergola in your back or side yard can truly transform the identity of your outdoor space.
Transform Your Backyard Today!
A pergola is a beautiful addition to your yard that can be used for anything from a play area, to a seating area, or even just as an accent piece. You may not know where to start when you're looking at all of the different types and styles of pergolas out there though, which is why we’ve put together this list of some great ideas on how to take your pergola to the next level.
Add Plants or Flowers to your Pergola Area for Color and Texture
Something as simple as adding a little greenery to your pergola can really take it to the next level. Certain types of plants can provide shade and create a completely different atmosphere around your outdoor area. “Climber” plants are commonly used with pergolas, but they aren’t the only option. Having pots or planters with your favorite flowers is perfectly acceptable, after all, this is your outdoor living space.
Consider Adding Hardscaping, Such as Patios or Walkways
When you build a pergola at the end of a walkway, path, or specific area of your patio, it becomes more than just a pergola. When you draw up a design that has a purpose, you create a destination or focal point for your entire yard. This is always a good thing to keep in mind when you're trying to make the most of your outdoor space. Luckily for you, Florida Pavers & Pergolas specializes in custom paver and pergola design and installation.
Add Light to Keep the Party Going
If you love to entertain, we recommend adding some sort of lighting fixtures to make you and your guests stay comfortable enjoying your outdoor space well into the night. From string lights to built-in fixtures, the possibilities are endless these days.
