Elevate your outdoor living with premium shade structures. From open-air pergolas to all-weather pavilions, we design and build the perfect cover for your patio or outdoor kitchen.
A pavilion is a freestanding outdoor structure with a solid roof, open walls, and post supports, typically built from wood or vinyl.
Also called a 'Pergola with a roof'.
A Pergola is a supported outdoor structure with open walls and a slatted or open roof, built from wood or vinyl.
A gazebo is a freestanding, roofed outdoor structure with semi-open walls, supported by posts, typically made of wood or vinyl.
A custom built structure does more than just provide shade; it creates an architectural "outdoor room" that allows you to enjoy your patio comfortably in any weather.
Our Pergolas and Pavilions are constructed from Wood or Vinyl, each offering distinct advantages to match your style and maintenance preferences.
We evaluate your patio's footprint, home's roofline, and sun orientation.
We handle the structural planning, ensuring the footings are set below the frost line for permanent stability.
Our expert crews assemble the timber or vinyl kit with precision, ensuring every beam is level and secure.
We coordinate the installation of electrical outlets, ceiling fans, recessed lighting, or heaters to complete your new outdoor room.
Since 2008, Mr. Mulch Landscape Design & Supply has been building custom hardscaping projects for homeowners across Columbus and Central Ohio. As a family-owned, veteran-owned company, we take pride in honest work, clear communication, and beautiful results, every time.
