Custom Shade Structures for Every Backyard
At PTG Landscaping, we specialize in building custom shade structures that match your space, your taste, and your budget. Our team helps homeowners across Baltimore County enjoy cooler summers, more privacy, and longer outdoor seasons.
We install everything from wood and vinyl pergolas to covered porches and UV-blocking canopies. Whether you’re looking for a freestanding shade solution in your garden or a retractable awning over your deck, we’ve got the tools and know-how to get it done right.
We also offer unique touches like integrated lighting, privacy screens, and natural finishes. If you’re not sure what will work best for your space, we walk you through real-world examples. For example, if your backyard faces west, we’ll recommend UV-blocking structures or shade sails to cut glare during sunset hours.
We use quality materials, clear plans, and a hands-on approach that keeps you in the loop from start to finish.

Why Add a Shade Structure?
Shade structures do more than block sun. They add value, style, and function to your outdoor space. Here are a few key benefits:
- Comfort: Beat the heat with UV-blocking structures that make patios and decks usable year-round.
- Curb Appeal: Pergolas, patio covers, and gazebos can instantly upgrade your landscape design.
- Versatility: Use the space for dining, lounging, working, or entertaining—rain or shine.
- Protection: Keep your outdoor furniture and flooring protected from the elements.
We recently completed a covered porch addition in Towson for a client who loves hosting cookouts. With a wood pergola and retractable awning combo, they now have sun protection and airflow without losing light.
Our shade structures create cool, relaxing zones in backyards big and small. Perfect for family homes, entertaining spaces, or peaceful getaways.

Rod Mcmillion2025-02-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Garrett is a very nice young man! I’ve been attempting to get some dirt moved in my back yard for 2 years. I saw Garrett working in my neighborhood & approached him. He stopped by the next day & gave me a reasonable price. He returned the following day & did the work. I’m extremely happy he said he was going to do something & completed the task. And lastly, he has a really nice business card. Thanku Garrett! Rod Mc Rebecca Pfeifer2024-11-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. About 6 years ago when we decided to purchase our new home, it backed to a cornfield. A portion was sold off and now we look at a large home compared to the natural land we loved. PTG Landscape quickly met with us to plan our privacy planting. The first step was to measure and provide a 2D photo of our completed project. The finished project is beautiful! The plantings offer color, varying heights, and will be a welcome view in a few short years. We highly recommend giving them a call for your next project! Garrett was timely with his communications. After seeing his work on various other outdoor projects, they are at the top of my list for our deck replacement. Kay Delacruz2024-11-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Quote was reasonable and work was completed very quickly! Garret was great to work with and the workers weee very nice. Francais Brown2024-11-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I would highly recommend PTG Bradley Oxendine2024-10-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Attention To Detail! Garret, Alex, and the rest of the team really nailed our deck! I am toroughly impressed with their work. Compared to other decks, ours looks extremely well built. The more I walk around it, the more I notice all the small details such as the extra bracing for every beam in the substructure. All the screws are perfectly lined up in rows, and not one is sticking up or screwed in too deep either! Visually, it is stunning too! I was really impressed with the notches cut into the boards on top of the railings. We were lucky to get these light sandy brown color composite boards. It looks amazing in the morning and evening sun. Finally, the communication with Garrett was constant and informative. He gave us updates on the start date and any prep they had to do beforehand. I cant say it enough, PTG landscape really hits the mark with our deck. Their level of workmanship is unrivaled and is something I wish I could find in every sector of home building and repair. Thanks again for your work! I will be more than happy to recommend you to anyone who needs a new deck or landscaping. Dr. G2024-09-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Garrett was the consummate professional. He and Colin worked hard each day to complete the patio that we wanted. Our experience with PTG Landscape goes without question as the finest in his industry as we did extensive research to secure the right landscape company. Thanks again, Garrett for a job well done! Chris Huether2024-08-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a small landscape project that I wanted done in front of my house and wasn't sure exactly what to do. Garrett helped us design a terrific plan and he and his crew knocked it out of the park. Thank you PTG! Craig2024-08-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
