Arbor Builder Houston – Handcrafted Beauty for Your Outdoor Space

Custom Arbors Built to Elevate Your Backyard

Looking for a skilled, reliable arbor builder in Houston who can bring charm, shade, and structure to your outdoor space?

You’re in the right place.

I’m Jimmy Hughes — owner of Bentwood Deck & Fence. I've been building custom outdoor structures for over 25 years, including beautiful custom arbors designed to frame walkways, accent gardens, and create cozy backyard retreats. Whether you're dreaming of a romantic entryway draped in vines or a shaded sitting area for weekend relaxation, we can design and build an arbor that fits your vision and your space.

Why Build an Arbor?

An arbor adds more than just visual appeal — it creates an experience. It welcomes you into a space. It gives purpose and shape to your landscape. And with the right builder, it becomes a natural extension of your home.

Here’s what a custom arbor can do for you:

  • Create a stunning entrance to your garden or patio

  • Add vertical interest to flat landscaping

  • Support climbing vines or flowering plants

  • Define a private nook or walkway

  • Provide filtered shade and structure

  • Increase curb appeal and property value

At Bentwood, we design arbors to match your home’s architecture, your landscape, and your personal style — whether that's classic and cozy or clean and modern.

Custom Arbors Built with Craftsmanship

Every arbor we build is custom-designed and handcrafted — never prefab, never rushed. We use quality materials, time-tested construction techniques, and finish details that make your arbor look as good up close as it does from the street.

Choose Your Style:

  • Traditional Arched Arbors – Timeless, elegant, and perfect for garden walkways

  • Modern Straight-Line Arbors – Clean lines with a bold architectural feel

  • Attached Arbors – Connect your arbor to a deck, patio, or fence

  • Freestanding Arbors – Perfect as a focal point or garden centerpiece

Materials That Last in Houston Weather

Houston heat and humidity can be tough on outdoor structures — but our builds are made to last.

We typically recommend:

  • Cedar or Redwood – Naturally resistant to insects and rot, with a rich finish

  • Pressure-Treated Pine – Budget-friendly and durable with proper staining

  • Stained & Sealed Finishes – To protect and enhance the beauty of the wood

  • Metal Hardware & Anchoring – For strength and long-term stability

If you already have a deck, patio, or fence, we’ll make sure your new arbor blends seamlessly with the existing design.
