Why add a pergola, pavilion, or gazebo?
A well-planned shade structure does more than block the Florida sun. It helps shape your outdoor living area, makes your patio feel connected to your home, and creates a welcoming place to relax, dine, or gather with family.
Many Daytona Beach homeowners have smaller yards or properties that are difficult for heavy equipment to access, and our team is experienced with building outdoor spaces in these conditions. We design and install patios, walkways, lighting, and landscaping that work seamlessly together to turn a simple yard into a functional, inviting retreat.

Understanding the Difference Between Gazebos, Pergolas, and Pavilions
Many Daytona Beach homeowners know they want more shade in their backyard, but deciding which structure fits best can be challenging. Each option creates a different type of outdoor experience depending on how you want to use your space.
When you want shade but still want an open, airy feel
A pergola is an excellent choice. Its open-slat roof filters the sun rather than blocking it completely, keeping the area bright and breezy. Pergolas work well over patios, in garden spaces, or above outdoor dining setups where you want shade without closing off the open-air feel that Daytona Beach is known for.
When you want reliable coverage from sun and rain
A pavilion may be the ideal solution. With a solid roof, it functions like a covered outdoor room, giving you dependable shelter throughout the day. Pavilions are perfect for poolside seating, outdoor kitchens, and entertainment areas that need consistent protection from Florida’s sun and sudden rain showers.
When you want a quiet, stand-alone hideaway
A gazebo offers a more private, enclosed atmosphere. Its solid roof and partially sheltered sides create a peaceful place to read, relax, or enjoy a shaded corner of your backyard away from the main gathering spaces.
What Our Customers Say...
I hired Tree of Life to clear out some old flower beds in the front of the house followed by design and installation of a "new look". I had some very specific needs related to long term maintenance and upkeep which Michael and his team were very responsive to. Their work included adjustments to the irrigation system to insure the plants had adequate water. The design is excellent and quality of work outstanding. I would absolutely recommend this company to anyone looking for high-quality landscaping work to be done.
Michael and his Team did an awesome job. Professional, attention to detail and affordable! A great experience
Tree of Life Landscape and Design exceeded my expectations with their exceptional landscaping services for the front of my house. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and commitment to customer satisfaction truly stood out throughout the entire process. From the initial consultation to the completion of the project, Tree of Life Landscape and Design demonstrated great customer service, integrity, and professionalism. They took the time to understand my vision and goals for the front of my house, offering valuable insights and recommendations based on their expertise. The team at Tree of Life Landscape and Design tackled the project with great precision and care. They removed the Shillings on both sides of the sidewalk and strategically used the best ones to fill in the gaps in the hedgerow along the front of the house. This attention to detail created a cohesive and visually appealing landscape. In addition to removing unwanted plants and disposing of all debris, Tree of Life Landscape and Design installed black metal edging to conform to the new bed shape. This added structure and definition to the landscape design, enhancing its overall aesthetic. The selection of plants was thoughtfully chosen to complement the architecture of my home. They planted 6 Miami Supreme Gardenias, with 3 in front of each window, adding a touch of elegance and fragrance to the front yard. The placement of 2 Robelini Palms, with a triple trunk in the center of the right-hand bed and a double trunk in front of the bathroom window, added a symmetrical and balanced look. To complete the transformation, Tree of Life Landscape and Design installed white marble chips in the beds, creating a clean and polished appearance. The use of flood and up lights to illuminate the front of my house as nighttime approaches added a captivating and welcoming ambiance. Throughout the entire process, Tree of Life Landscape and Design demonstrated professionalism, reliability, and a commitment to delivering a high-quality result. Their attention to detail and dedication to customer satisfaction truly set them apart. I highly recommend Tree of Life Landscape and Design for any landscaping needs. Their expertise, integrity, and exceptional customer service make them a top choice for creating beautiful and functional outdoor spaces. Thank you, Tree of Life Landscape and Design, for transforming the front of my house into a stunning landscape that I can enjoy for years to come!"
When we bought this house we inherited 4 Koi fish ponds that wrapped the entire back of the house After removing the fish (to Koi fish rescue team) and filling the ponds with dirt in an attempt to do this work ourselves We have been, for the last 3 years, looking at 4 giant dirt pits filled with weeds and snakes and other critters making habitat right up against our house. It was time to call the professionals and Michael and his crew are the definition of professionals They have exceeded our expectations & where we once did not even want to go out our back door into this monstrosity, we now can't stop looking at our beautiful stone patios! From the first day Michael came to the house for the initial estimate his vibe exudes a calm and zen like presence with a calculated thoughtfulness about the job at hand. His price was very fair and the amount of manual labor this took to pull off was stunning and I cannot even believe they finished this in less than 3 days! Impeccable! We will definitely be hiring Tree of Life again for more projects!
This is my second experience with Tree of Life Landscape and Design and as before their work never disappoints. Michael and his crew removed and replaced a 30 year old weather and insect damaged wooden retaining wall and pathway with a beautiful architectural block and cap design and also reinforced the pavers that surround the landscaping in the back yard. The cost was reasonable and the job was completed in the specified time. Michael was easy to work with and was always available to answer our questions. I highly recommend Tree of Life Landscape and Design for any outdoor beautification projects.
Michael is an extremely talented and honest landscaper who loves what he does and treats his clients with respect. My wife and I are very happy with the quality and price of his work. We have used his services twice and will use him again if needed.
We had Tree of Life Lanscape and Design install a retaining wall around and they did a fantastic job and looks amazing. We would recommend them to anyone looking for work to be done.
The retaining wall project went very smooth. I had a 40' two-tiered wall installed. The workmanship was great and the workers were friendly and helpful.
