Contemporary oak pergolas, designed to belong

Stamford Pergola Co. designs and builds contemporary oak pergolas for carefully considered gardens across Stamford, Rutland, and the surrounding villages. Every structure is thoughtfully proportioned and quietly detailed, so it feels at home in its setting, never added as an afterthought.

Often introduced as part of wider garden schemes, we work closely with homeowners and garden designers to ensure each pergola supports the overall composition, both visually and structurally, and continues to do so as the garden matures over time.

Our approach is informed by years of experience delivering oak structures within residential landscapes.

A design-led approach

Calm, architectural, and considered — a pergola should feel intentional, not added on.

Our work typically begins once a garden’s overall layout is in place. From there, we look carefully at sightlines, thresholds and alignment, shaping the structure so it sits quietly within the scheme, offering shelter and definition without overwhelming the space.

Material, scale and context guide every decision. That includes planning considerations, neighbouring outlook, and how the oak will weather and soften over time.

Each project follows a thoughtful, measured process, from the initial site visit and early design input through to construction. We’re careful not to over-design. The best solutions often feel the simplest.

Selected work

A small selection of recent oak pergolas, each proportioned for it's setting and built to last.

Quality reveals itself in the details - clean, confident joinery; posts that land exactly where they should; and structures that feel settled within the garden, not simply placed into it.

Working with garden designers

Collaborative and discreet, always in service of the wider design.

We work closely with garden designers and landscape professionals, offering early technical input once the overall scheme is established. This typically includes proportion studies, post positioning, and clear structural resolution. All handled in a way that supports, rather than competes with, the design intent.

Pergolas are usually resolved once planting plans and hard landscaping are in place, allowing the structure to sit comfortably within the final composition and feel fully considered from the outset.

Enquiries

If you’re considering a pergola as part of an existing or planned garden scheme, we’d be happy to discuss your project.

A few lines is more than enough to get started. If you’re able to, it’s helpful to include your location, an approximate size, and whether the pergola forms part of a broader garden design.
