Shade Structures Built to Match Your Landscape

A great outdoor space needs more than a patio and plantings. It needs structure — something that gives height, definition, and a sense of place to the way your backyard feels. A well-designed pergola or pavilion turns an open slab into a room. It creates a destination in your yard rather than just a flat surface.

At Tepe Landscape & Design Group, we design custom pergolas, pavilions, cedar arbors, and shade structures as part of complete outdoor living projects across Greater Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky, and Eastern Indiana. Our in-house design team develops the concept, creates detailed renderings, and coordinates the entire project — working with trusted local craftsmen who specialize in custom outdoor structures to bring the design to life.

What We Design

Pergolas
Open-beam pergolas define outdoor space without fully enclosing it. They provide partial shade, a framework for climbing plants or string lighting, and an architectural anchor that makes a patio feel intentional. We design pergolas in cedar, pressure-treated timber, and low-maintenance composite materials — sized and styled to complement your home.

Pavilions
A fully roofed pavilion creates a true outdoor room — one you can use in light rain, full sun, or on a cool fall evening. We design pavilions with rooflines that echo your home’s architecture, integrated lighting and ceiling fans, and the structural footings needed to handle Ohio’s snow loads and wind.

Cedar Arbors & Garden Structures
Arbors, trellises, and garden structures add vertical interest and a sense of enclosure to landscape designs. Whether marking an entry point, framing a garden path, or supporting a climbing rose, a well-placed arbor changes how a yard feels at ground level.
