Shade Structures

Explore your options for outdoor shade structures and discover how Think Green can help transform your backyard into a beautiful oasis with tailored outdoor shade design solutions personalized to your taste.

Our expert team brings your vision to life with beautifully conceptualized pergolas, ramadas, and gazebos; all designed to flow with your existing or desired yard elements for lasting comfort and style.

Pergolas

Pergolas are open-roof structures that offer filtered sunlight to provide a comfortable balance between shade and openness. Built with vertical posts and cross beams, these shade structures are perfect for patios, garden paths, or poolside lounging areas.

Our design team knows how to use organic shapes, colors, and materials to give pergolas a more modern appeal. Alternatively, we have the skills to create designs with a more traditional aesthetic in mind. 

If you want to enjoy the outdoors in style—without sacrificing comfort—a custom designed pergola from Think Green is the perfect choice. Our expertly designed pergolas combine beauty, function, and durability to create the ultimate backyard retreat.

Here’s what a pergola can do for your space:

  • Enjoy filtered shade while preserving airflow and natural sunlight—ideal for sunny days without feeling confined.
  • Support climbing plants like ivy, jasmine, or bougainvillea to add lush greenery and a natural cooling effect.
  • Choose your layout—our pergolas can be freestanding or seamlessly attached to your home to extend your living space.
  • Add timeless structure and curb appeal, enhancing your outdoor environment with a clean, elegant design.

Whether you’re interested in a modern aluminum design or a rustic wood finish, Think Green is a trusted landscape design company in Phoenix with the experience and creativity to elevate your backyard.

Ramadas

A ramada typically refers to a fully roofed outdoor structure. We can help you design a ramada that matches your home’s stucco or contrasts with it. These structures can be added to your property and provide a visual element that comes off as an extension of your home. Ramadas provide complete overhead protection, making them ideal if you desire a full-shade patio, outdoor kitchens, or dining area.

If you want a shaded outdoor space that feels like a natural extension of your home, Think Green can design the perfect ramada to complement your landscape. Our expert landscape designers create detailed plans that integrate beautifully with your surroundings and lifestyle.

Here’s how a professionally designed ramada elevates your space:

  • Offers full protection from the sun and rain, creating a functional outdoor retreat year-round.
  • Blends seamlessly with your home’s architecture, adding value and visual harmony.
  • Ideal for outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, or lounge areas, making your yard more usable and inviting.
  • Planned with Arizona’s climate in mind, ensuring durability and long-term comfort in every season.

At Think Green, we focus on complete, cohesive landscape design; from plant selection to structural layout. We’ll work closely with your contractor or builder to bring your vision to life.

Gazebos

Gazebos are freestanding structures with a closed roof and open sides, often octagonal or round in shape. These classic features add a touch of elegance and charm to gardens, courtyards, and large yards.

If you want a standout feature that offers both beauty and comfort, a gazebo designed by Think Green is the perfect addition to your backyard. We will work with you to create custom plans that make your gazebo a seamless part of your outdoor environment.

Here’s why a gazebo makes a great investment for your space:

  • Timeless, elegant design that’s perfect for entertaining guests or enjoying quiet moments outdoors.
  • Fully covered roof provides dependable shade and shelter from the elements.
  • Optional screens or drapery can be included in the design for added privacy and comfort.
  • Makes a beautiful focal point for weddings, garden parties, or peaceful retreats in your own backyard.

At Think Green, we specialize in bringing your vision to life with thoughtful landscape planning. We’ll design a gazebo layout that enhances your property and works hand-in-hand with the rest of your landscape—ready for your builder to bring to life.
