Trellises & Arbors Edison, NJ

Adding a trellis or arbor requires careful planning and precision workmanship to create eye-catching backyard structures that also meet functional needs for supporting plants or serving as a passageway. Our step-by-step process allows us to deliver stunning custom trellises and arbors tailored specifically for you.

Consultation & Design

The process starts by meeting at your property for an in-depth consultation. We’ll discuss in detail your vision for how you want the space to look and how the trellis or arbor should function.

Maybe you need height and widths perfect for covering a path in lush greenery. Or perhaps it will serve mainly as a visual focal piece rather than plant support.

Understanding all unique considerations allows our team to then craft a tailored design plan. We can provide original concepts and drawings, or enhance your own visions with our expertise in layout, materials, and dimensions for both aesthetics and performance.

We consider sunlight, wind dynamics, views and circulation to maximize how the structure draws the eye. For arbors, we also strategically place posts and crossbeams to control sight lines as you pass through.

Materials Selection

With the custom design plan approved, we move to discussions over wood types and hardware. Trellises and arbors have many options for achieving different looks and feels. We offer sustainably-sourced and ethically-harvested exotic and domestic wood species.

Cedar’s natural insect-resistance or redwood’s varying grain patterns each impart their own uniqueness. Synthetic or reclaimed materials are also options for certain contemporary designs. And we employ only the highest quality aluminum brackets, bolts, screws and other hardware for sturdy joints that withstand the elements for many years of service.

Fabrication

Next our in-house craftsmen begin careful construction based on the approved plans. Our modern wood shop is equipped with state-of-the-art tools to transform raw lumber into customizable trellises, arbors and other structures with fine attention to detail. We employ time-tested joinery methods, modified with our own innovative techniques for maximizing strength and aesthetic flow.

Whether assembling intricate latticework or smoothing sweeping curves, our fabricators handle your custom project like a work of art. Before shipment, we apply protective sealants or stains if specified to further guard these backyard investments against Northeast conditions. Our team takes great pride in crafting structures as stunning as they are resilient for homeowners.

Installation

For delivery of your new trellis or arbor, our installation team takes great care in transporting the custom-built structures to avoid any job site damage.

Proper placement is critical for both appearance and performance, so we take exact measurements of the designated location. After verifying layout, our crews efficiently erect the trellis arbor under the oversight of our project lead to ensure proper alignment.

Leveling and plumbing the posts, attaching brackets, and securing beams all require focus and expertise. Our installers have years of experience getting these sturdy backyard fixtures perfectly positioned to fulfill the vision that started in our initial design.

For arbors, we’ll also complete any final gateway trim carpentry once the structural framework is in place. Then we step back to allow our clients to enjoy their breathtaking new trellis or arbor masterpiece.
