Designers like Charlie Baker build pergolas that are both utilitarian and decorative. “I strive for a finished product that doesn’t look ‘landscaped,’” Baker says. “My more natural projects are built to look like they grew together on their own.”
Rustic pergolas, crafted from driftwood or other found materials, can add a sense of whimsy to a more traditional garden or complement a down-to-earth look.
