Pergolas are having a moment. The outdoor structures can fit in smaller backyards and help create an open, breezy extension of interior space and style.

Pergolas are having a moment. Yardzen, a landscape-design service, has already had more requests for pergolas this year than they did in all of 2020, according to co-founder and CEO Allison Messner. “People have been really wanting their outdoor space to blend with their indoor space, and to just get more function out of their yards,” says Ms. Messner.
A pergola is a structure defined as having a lattice roof or cross beams and four posts that hold it up. They might be used to cover walkways, as sitting areas. They could be attached to the home or free-standing. It isn’t uncommon to see greenery, like jasmine or bougainvillea, growing up the sides and on top of a pergola.
Part of their popularity is because pergolas can fit in smaller yards and help create distinct spaces, says Ms. Messner. They are also easy to install and offer clean, contemporary lines. In a small yard where homeowners want to maximize the space, “a pergola can take up a very small footprint and create that definition,” says Ms. Messner.
Heather Unger, co-founder of Acme Real Estate Florida, has also noticed an increase in their popularity. “I think it adds, depending on the style of the house and the pergola, a continuation of the style of the home,” she says. While some might look modern or romantic with grapevines, she has also seen luxe versions with retractable roofs. “It just adds a little bit of architectural interest to the property,” says Ms. Unger.
