"I cannot recommend Joe and his crew more. They installed turf in our front yard. Also I wanted to break up the large grassy area so I had them put in a pygmy palm. They added pavers around the palm as well as the outline of the turf and a drip system to water the palm. I gave them a five-star rating but if I could, I would make it a 10! My husband and I searched through dozens of samples of turf and installers before we met Joe. We also looked at dozens of properties with turf installed but we were never happy with their installation because you could usually see seams and the turf looked fake. Then we met Joe. From start to finish he and his crew were awesome! Total professional, communicative, responsive, and diligent. The project started and finished on time. We used to hate looking at our front yard, now we stare at it! You cannot go wrong if you use Joe!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Rather than using a common two-by-four piece of wood for a rafter, you probably will use two-by-six, two-by-eight, two-by-ten, or even two-by-twelve boards. Wider lumber is typically a better choice in a larger building as it provides more sturdiness. Some installers may use wider lumber for rafters near the edges of the roof, where the greatest stress occurs, and save money with narrower lumber toward the middle.

It depends on how you’ll use it. Both awnings and pergolas create shelter in outdoor areas, but pergolas have grid-style roofs, which are more open than awnings and not as effective at blocking out UV rays and precipitation. Also, pergolas are permanent structures, so you can’t put them away when you aren’t using them (unlike retractable awnings).

A full backyard renovation can cost between $15,000 and $50,000, depending on the scope of the project. Excavation, materials, and labor costs all contribute to the final cost of updating your outdoor spaces, and expensive features like a pool, a fence, or hardscaping carry a high price tag.

The average cost to build a pergola ranges from $2,200 to $6,400, whereas the average cost of an awning ranges from $1,400 to $4,400, meaning that an awning tends to be less expensive to build or install than a pergola. Ultimately, the less expensive option depends on a few factors, including size, quality of materials used, and location.

The cost of a pergola varies depending on the style you choose. The average price is between $2,100 and $6,400 for materials and installation. On the low end, a standard pergola will cost between $20 and $55 per square foot, while a retractable pergola will cost between $900 and $3,000 to build. If you plan to build the pergola over a pre-existing deck or patio, that will increase the cost.
