Custom Pergola & Pavilion Builder Serving Novato and Marin County
Shelter, Shape & A Sense of Place
Pavilions. Pergolas. Possibility.
A pergola, pavilion, or pool house can make your outdoor space more comfortable and enjoyable. These structures add shade, create places to gather, and help bring the whole landscape together.
Heritage Landscapes designs and builds custom outdoor structures throughout Marin County and nearby communities. From pergolas and pavilions to custom pool houses, every structure is designed as part of a complete outdoor living space.
Quiet Architecture for Outdoor Living
Outdoor structures help make your backyard more comfortable and enjoyable. They create places to gather, relax, dine, and spend more time outside.
As experienced pergola and pavilion builders, we design structures that fit your home and work beautifully with the surrounding landscape.
Common elements include:
Custom pavilions with open-air or solid roof designs
Cedar, redwood, hardwood, and steel pergola construction
Pool houses and garden structures designed to complement the landscape
Integrated lighting, drainage, and utility coordination
Material selections that align with the home's architecture and surrounding landscape
Every structure is designed for long-term enjoyment and built to feel like a natural extension of the property.

Site Walk & Discovery
We assess the space, sun patterns, and purpose of the structure—framing ideas around how you want to use and move through the site.
Design With Intention
Each structure is scaled and finished in conversation with the broader plan to balance visual weight and functional need.
Build With Integrity
We coordinate expert trades and execute with care, from foundations to finish—so the result feels settled, enduring, and aligned with the land.

Always Part of a Larger Vision
We design pergolas, pavilions, and outdoor structures as part of complete landscape projects. This allows every element from patios and pools to plantings, lighting, and hardscaping to work together as one cohesive design.
The end result is a landscape that feels built around the way you live.
