Custom Pergola & Garden Structure Installation in Lewisham
Handcrafted timber pergolas, automated louvred roofs, and cedar privacy screening designed to reclaim overlooked Lewisham gardens. Founder-led craftsmanship by Billy Maddox & Vincent O'Connell.
Architectural Shade & Privacy for SE13 Gardens
The Tree Amigos design and install bespoke timber pergolas and garden structures in Lewisham, SE13, crafted from FSC-certified Western Red Cedar and Siberian Larch to eliminate overlooking issues.
In closely packed residential areas like Lewisham, privacy is often the primary concern for homeowners. Whether managing Victorian and Edwardian bay-fronted terraces, conversion apartments with gardens, and 1930s family houses near Ladywell Fields, Hither Green, Mountsfield Park, Lewisham Town Centre and the River Ravensbourne corridor, gardens are frequently overlooked by adjacent first-floor windows or neighbouring extensions.
We transform narrow Lewisham garden plots into secluded outdoor living rooms. Handcrafted timber pergolas with integrated cedar Venetian screening block intrusive upper-floor angles, creating an intimate space for dining and relaxation. 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.
Operating only 15 minutes west of our Woolwich base, Billy Maddox and Vincent O'Connell manage every Lewisham pergola installation personally with zero travel surcharges.

By combining open-lath rafters with horizontal cedar batten screens, we eliminate overlooking from adjacent Victorian terraces while maintaining garden ventilation and natural daylight.
