Shade structures, planters, and furnishings for resorts, rooftops, and interiors.

We bring a sculptor's hand to shade structures and furnishings: pergolas, cabanas, tensioned canopies, planters, and one-off pieces in metal and stone for the deck and the rooms behind it. We engineer each one for sun, salt, and wind, and they stand on some of Florida's most demanding beachfront decks.

FAQs about landscape furnishings.

All FAQs
How do pergola and cabana projects typically start?

Send us your deck plan, a photo of the terrace, or a short brief. We review the exposure and structure and send a written proposal, and once it's approved, we prepare shop drawings for your sign-off before fabrication begins.

Do you work on commercial and residential projects?

Yes, both. We work on projects of every scale, from private homes and estates to luxury hotels, resorts, spas, golf clubs, restaurants, nightlife venues, and public spaces. Every piece is custom designed to fit its setting, whether that's a private or commercial space.

How do you work?

We design, engineer, and fabricate every piece, and coordinate the logistics and installation details with your team. Most clients work with their own installer; if you don't have one, we can recommend licensed, insured installation partners. After handover, we stay on as your point of contact for maintenance.

How do landscape furnishings stand up to coastal weather?

Membranes, cables, and anchorage are engineered as one system for coastal wind loads, and structures are fabricated in aluminum and hardwood, then finished for salt air. We coordinate installation with your installer or a licensed, insured partner we recommend, and we stand behind every structure season after season.

How do I maintain it?

Metal and stone pieces need only occasional cleaning, and every finish is chosen for the outdoor setting it lives in.

Bring us the space. We'll bring the showpiece.

Send your dimensions, drawings, or just an idea, and we'll come back with a detailed written estimate.
