Hard Landscaping in Crowborough | What is a Pergola and How Does it Improve a Garden?
Pergolas are hard landscaping features that provide structure, shade and character to outdoor spaces. A pergola is a freestanding garden structure made from vertical posts and cross-beams, often left open to the sky but sometimes fitted with a canopy or climbing plants. It is traditionally used to frame walkways or seating areas. A pergola is a common feature in domestic gardens across the Crowborough area.
At BBH Construction Ltd, we can provide a hard landscaping solution for homeowners in Crowborough. If you want to improve the use and appearance of an outdoor space, a pergola is a practical solution.

Why Choose a Pergola for Your Crowborough Garden?
Pergolas help define the spaces in a garden but without enclosing an installation completely. They create focal points and offer partial shade, and they can support climbing plants like wisteria or roses. Whether you want a cosy al-fresco dining area or a place to relax in the great outdoors, pergolas can deliver well on function and style.
In Crowborough, where gardens range from smaller courtyards to large landscaping plots, pergolas suit a much wider variety of spaces. BBH Construction Ltd designs and installs pergolas that match the layout of your garden, and which tie in with your individual preferences.
The Practical Benefits of Pergolas
Professionally installed pergolas can transform the way you use your outdoor space. It also adds value to your property by enhancing the landscaping with a clearly defined feature that is highly desirable.
You can enjoy benefits such as:
- Shade and Shelter – Ideal for creating a cool and comfortable seating area during warmer months
- Defined Zones – Separate outdoor kitchens, dining and lounging areas for full vision and function
- Support for Plants – Provide structure for climbing plants and improve the garden’s visual appeal
- Increased Privacy – Frame spaces with full screens or climbing foliage to block out unwanted views
- Improved Kerb Appeal – A pergola adds structure and symmetry to make an outdoor space look unique
In Crowborough, where outdoor entertaining is common in spring and summer, pergolas add comfort and a polished appearance to a space.
