Custom Pergola Design & Installation in Charlotte, Indian Trail & Waxhaw
A pergola turns an open patio or deck into a true outdoor room. At Ebony Outdoor Living, we design and build custom pergolas that add shade, structure, and a finished architectural touch to the spaces your family already loves. Whether you want a freestanding pergola over a paver patio, an attached pergola off the back of the house, or a louvered system you can open and close with the weather, we build it from the ground up.
We've been building outdoor living spaces for Charlotte-area homeowners for over 15 years. We understand the local climate, sun angles, and style preferences that make a pergola last, look great, and feel like a natural extension of your home.
Pergolas Built for Outdoor Living in Charlotte
A well-designed pergola changes how you use your backyard. It defines a dining area, frames an outdoor kitchen, shades a lounge spot from the afternoon sun, and gives your patio or deck a sense of being a real, intentional room rather than just open ground. The right pergola adds curb appeal and value while standing up to Carolina heat, humidity, and storms for years.
Our team takes the time to understand how you want to use your outdoor space before a single post goes in the ground. We work with you on placement, sun and shade, material selection, and finishing details, so your pergola is not only beautiful on day one but holds up through every Charlotte season.
With Ebony Outdoor Living, you can expect:
-
Custom designs tailored to your home's architecture, yard layout, and the way you actually want to use the space
-
Premium wood, composite, and powder-coated aluminum options to fit every style and budget
-
Freestanding, attached, and louvered or motorized pergola systems for the right amount of sun and shade
-
Proper footings, anchoring, and structural detailing built in from the start, so your pergola performs for years
-
Integrated features like lighting, ceiling fans, privacy screens, and tie-ins to patios, decks, and outdoor kitchens
-
A clean, respectful worksite and clear communication from first call to final walkthrough
Our goal is simple: give you a pergola that feels like a natural part of your home, one you'll actually use, season after season.
Our Screened Porch Design and Build Process

Our team designs a custom pergola tailored to your property, style preferences, and budget. Once you've approved the plan, we finalize materials, confirm timelines, and get everything ready to build.

Pergola Options to Fit Your Home & Lifestyle
Freestanding Pergolas
A freestanding pergola can go anywhere in your yard, over a paver patio, beside a pool, or out in an open lawn to create a destination spot. It's the most flexible option for homeowners who want a defined outdoor room that isn't tied to the house, and it works beautifully as a shaded dining or lounge area in Waxhaw, Weddington, and Marvin backyards.
Attached Pergolas
An attached pergola extends off the back of your home and instantly creates a covered transition between your interior living space and your patio or deck. It's a popular choice for Charlotte and Ballantyne homeowners who want to shade a back door, a kitchen window, or an existing patio while keeping everything connected to the house.
Louvered & Motorized Pergolas
Louvered pergolas have adjustable slats you can open for sun or close for shade and rain protection, and motorized versions let you do it with the push of a button. They're the premium choice for homeowners across Matthews, Huntersville, and SouthPark who want to use their outdoor space comfortably in any weather, year-round.
Wood, Composite & Aluminum
Cedar and pressure-treated wood give a warm, traditional look, composite delivers the wood aesthetic with far less upkeep, and powder-coated aluminum offers a sleek, modern profile with virtually no maintenance. We'll help you weigh the look, longevity, and upkeep of each so your pergola fits both your style and how hands-on you want to be.
Integrated Outdoor Living
Many of our pergola projects connect seamlessly to existing patios, decks, screened porches, and outdoor kitchens, creating one cohesive outdoor living area that flows naturally from your home. If you're thinking bigger than just a pergola, we'll help you design an integrated outdoor space that covers everything your family needs.
