Custom Pergola & Garden Structure Installation in Lee
Handcrafted timber pergolas, automated louvred roofs, and cedar privacy screening designed to reclaim overlooked Lee gardens. Founder-led craftsmanship by Billy Maddox & Vincent O'Connell.
Architectural Shade & Privacy for SE12 Gardens
The Tree Amigos design and install bespoke timber pergolas and garden structures in Lee, SE12, crafted from FSC-certified Western Red Cedar and Siberian Larch to eliminate overlooking issues.
In closely packed residential areas like Lee, privacy is often the primary concern for homeowners. Whether managing Edwardian and late-Victorian family terraces, 1920s/1930s houses, and quiet residential avenues near Manor House Gardens, Lee Green, North Park, Burnt Ash Hill and the River Quaggy corridor, gardens are frequently overlooked by adjacent first-floor windows or neighbouring extensions.
A bespoke timber pergola creates an architectural canopy that shields your patio from above. Engineered with 150mm+ posts set in 600mm concrete footings, our pergolas remain rock-solid in Lee's London clay soil while providing a stylish, private garden retreat. At The Tree Amigos Landscaping & Gardening Ltd, we design and build handcrafted pergolas using FSC-certified Western Red Cedar, Siberian Larch, and C24 structural timber anchored on 600mm deep concrete pile footings, finished with breathable UV protective oil.
Situated only 12 minutes from our Woolwich base via the South Circular (A205), The Tree Amigos offer prompt on-site surveys and hands-on founder supervision across SE12 and Lee Green with zero travel surcharges.
Why Lee Residents Choose Our Pergolas

Strategically angled roof rafters block sightlines from surrounding upper-floor windows while allowing natural sunlight to filter down.

We build all timber structures in compliance with London Borough of Lewisham planning regulations and national Permitted Development allowances (under 2.5m within 2m of boundaries).

Garden pergolas in Lee generally fall under Permitted Development if they remain under 2.5m in height within 2 metres of any boundary line. We verify all London Borough of Lewisham planning details during our site visit.
By combining roof rafters with horizontal cedar privacy slats, we prevent overlooking from neighbouring upper-storey windows while preserving garden sunlight.
We use FSC-certified Western Red Cedar, Siberian Larch, and C24 structural timber with concealed stainless steel fasteners and protective UV oil.
