Understanding Gazebos, Pergolas, and Pavilions in Residential Landscaping
When enhancing your outdoor living space, choosing the right structure is key. Gazebos, pergolas, and pavilions, while similar, offer distinct features and functionalities suited to different landscaping needs.
Gazebos: Traditionally octagonal in shape, gazebos are standalone structures often placed in garden settings. They feature a solid roof and partially open sides, providing shelter while maintaining a connection with the surrounding landscape. Gazebos are ideal for creating a secluded retreat in your garden, offering a shaded spot for relaxation or an intimate space for outdoor dining.
Pergolas: Pergolas are outdoor structures characterized by their open lattice or cross-beam roofs and usually supported on columns or posts. They are perfect for defining spaces like dining areas or outdoor lounges. Pergolas provide partial shade, making them ideal for areas where you want to enjoy both sun and shade. They can also support climbing plants, adding a natural, green touch to your outdoor area.
Pavilions: Similar to gazebos, pavilions are larger and typically rectangular or square. They provide full coverage with a solid roof and are often used as an extension of the home. Pavilions are great for larger gatherings, offering sheltered outdoor space for entertainment, dining, or relaxation. They can be placed near a pool, in a spacious garden, or as a centerpiece in your backyard.
In a residential landscape, the choice between a gazebo, pergola, and pavilion often depends on the intended use, available space, and personal aesthetic preferences. Gazebos offer a charming escape in a garden setting, pergolas integrate seamlessly with your landscaping for a stylish outdoor living area, and pavilions serve as a versatile space for larger gatherings and family activities.

I highly recommend George/Contempo Stone Design team. They did an amazing job adding a retaining wall on the side and front of our home in summer of 2023. They were very professional and quality of work was flawless. Contempo’s team drove by recently and noticed the cap was cracked and broken off due to the snow removal truck hitting it. Immediately George texted me indicating he noticed the cap was broken and he would replace it. He ordered a new cap and replaced it within a few days. I’m super impressed by the customer service. It’s truly hard to find genuine individuals/companies who care about their customers.
George and the entire team were amazing. They are very professional, thorough and fast! We couldn’t believe the quality of the work in the amount of time it took to finish the entire patio and landscaping for our backyard. Would definitely recommend them for any type of outdoor work. Thanks to the entire team!
They did an amazing job with redoing our Patio with pavers. George was also able to give us ideas and feedback which was very helpful. We love our outdoor space that they built and would hire them again.
Contempo did a fabulous job on my patio. They are very profession, prompt, and gets the job completed in a timely manner. I have had many bad experiences with other companies in the past so was very hesitant to try another company but, I am glad I found this company. I am very pleased with the end result, my patio is beautiful now. I highly recommend Contempo to others. I will definitely use again in the future.
Jorge is exceptional to work with! He is professional, responds quickly and mocks up what his team will do so there are never any surprises. He put up a retaining on all sides of our yard, regraded our yard, added pavers with rocks, created a beautiful space with rocks for our trampoline and did all of our landscaping. He can truly do it all! Highly recommend him and his team!
Contempo Stone Design did an amazing job with my outdoor patio. From start to finish very responsive and addressed all questions about the project. Very punctual and professional. Jorge and his team are extremely creative and worked diligently to ensure that the design incorporated all of the elements that we described in the build.
If you are looking to design & build an outdoor entertainment area at your home, Contempo Stone Design should be at the top of your list to contact. Owner Jorge Aguirre was a superb person to work with. His design creativity, his experience, integrity and work ethic were unbelievable, from start to finish. He and his talented crew were prompt & on time every day, and before leaving the project, tidied up the site. After completing the project, he was true to his word: “You’ll hardly know we had been working there, except for your beautiful patio”. Our project included 2 connected patios at different levels, with a seating wall and custom steps. George’s creativity in designing a subtle lighting package to illuminate the space at night, we’re the finishing touch to the space. Needless to say, we are ecstatic about our new outdoor space and know that it exists because of George/Jorge and the crew at Contempo Stone Design. It is an investment in our new home that we will enjoy for a long time in the future. I can’t say enough about Contempo Stone Design for their abilities to give us what we dreamed of. George listened to our vision, and then delivered the project on time, on budget and exceeded our expectations. Contact us for pictures or further details
