West Pine-Laclede Neighborhood Gets a New Pergola

5. Pergola finished

Remember the deteriorating pergola and picnic table in the circle at 4301 Laclede?

Thanks to funding from the West Pine Laclede Neighborhood Association and the Manhattan Townhouse Association and our neighbor Ervin Janko, the old structure has been replaced by a beautiful cedar pergola and picnic table. Almost single-handedly, Erv designed the pergola, removed the old structure, then built and installed the new pergola and picnic table.

Be sure to thank Erv for his contribution which has definitely enhanced the quality of life in our neighborhood.

Imagine how much more beautiful the plantings will look once they are trellised.

The Boyle-Laclede Community gardeners removed the vines from the old structure (3 kinds of grapes and 1 wisteria vine) and will re-trellis them this month.
