A living pergola uses trees to form a natural, shaded structure instead of using traditional wooden beams or metal frameworks. These trees are strategically planted and trained to form a canopy that mimics the appearance of a pergola, creating a serene, leafy retreat in a garden or outdoor space. ‘Autumn Blaze‘ is a stunning hybrid maple known for its vibrant, eye-catching foliage. It‘s palmate leaves are a lush, glossy green that transform into fiery shades in Autumn, creating a spectacular display that lights up the landscape.

Landscape Uses

Living pergolas create cool, shaded spaces perfect for outdoor seating, dining, or relaxation. Their natural canopy provides a tranquil escape from the sun while seamlessly blending with garden landscapes. They serve as natural privacy screens, shielding outdoor areas from neighbours or busy streets while maintaining an open, airy feel. Additionally, living pergolas can line walkways, forming beautiful green tunnels that enhance the aesthetics of gardens, parks, or private properties. By replacing artificial shading structures with natural growth, they support sustainability, enhance biodiversity, and reduce environmental impact.
