Custom Pergola Design for Your Lincoln Home

A custom pergola is a versatile way to bring structure, beauty, and functionality to your yard. At Willet Home Design Studio, every pergola we design is completely unique, tailored to the homeowner’s style, space, and goals for their outdoor living space. Whether you’re looking for a sleek modern patio cover or a traditional garden pergola, we’ll create a design that blends seamlessly with your home’s architecture.

Our custom pergolas consider all of the following:

• Purpose and intended use
• Size, shape, and layout of your space
• Sun and shade coverage goals
• Material preferences and maintenance needs
• Architectural style and aesthetics
• Electrical needs for fans or lighting
• Weather and wind protection
• HOA regulations and permitting
• Overall budget

We build both freestanding and attached pergolas, depending on your goals. Freestanding pergolas can be placed anywhere in your yard, while attached pergolas are mounted to your home’s exterior and offer a more integrated design. Both options can provide partial shade without completely enclosing the space, which makes them ideal for enjoying Nebraska’s seasonal weather.

Popular material options include wood, vinyl, fiberglass, and steel. While wood pergolas offer natural beauty, they do require regular maintenance. Vinyl, fiberglass, and steel offer lower-maintenance alternatives with long-term durability. We also offer flexible roofing options, including flat or arched structures, fabric sails, louvered systems for rain control, and solid roof panels for all-weather protection.

To make your pergola even more functional, we can add lighting, ceiling fans, heaters, curtains, and privacy screens—all designed to enhance comfort and extend your use of the space into evenings and cooler seasons.

The Benefits of a Backyard Pergola

Adding a backyard pergola offers more than just visual appeal. It gives you a shaded retreat that extends your outdoor living space, supports climbing plants, and becomes a hub for social gatherings. A well-designed pergola can make your backyard feel like a private getaway or a stylish entertainment zone.

Here are a few key benefits of installing a custom pergola:

• Enhances curb appeal and increases property value
• Creates defined zones in your outdoor space for relaxing or entertaining
• Offers flexible shade and weather protection
• Supports garden plants like jasmine, roses, or wisteria
• Provides a structure for add-ons like lighting, fans, and curtains

Whether you’re building a garden pergola for quiet mornings or a patio cover for weekend cookouts, our team will guide you through the entire process.

Our Pergola Installation Process

Once approved, we’ll move into the construction phase. You’ll receive a construction agreement, timeline, and a dedicated project manager who will be in touch every step of the way. Our team handles everything—from design to clean-up—so you can relax while we build your dream shade structure.
