Getting It Right in Queensway

The right answer depends on what's actually going on, which is why we assess the garden before recommending anything. Common factors we look at include:

• Whether the pergola sits over an existing patio or new base
• Timber type and finish, or a metal-framed alternative
• Size and positioning relative to the house and boundaries
• Any additional features - lighting, planting supports, retractable canopies

In many cases in Queensway it's possible to resolve the issue without starting again from scratch - though for some older gardens a fuller job ends up being the more practical route.
