"Their responsiveness and initial pricing were stellar. But here’s the unbelievable part: I, in my haste, signed a quote for a much higher, incorrect price. With a level of integrity you just don't see anymore, they called me to point out their typo and immediately corrected the price back down. I was stunned. Then, on removal day, the crew was a spectacle of pure efficiency. Friendly, professional, and watching them work was like witnessing a high-speed ballet. While they were here, I chanced it and asked if they could also tackle a huge, two-story tree that wasn't even on the quote. They didn't miss a beat, quoted me a fantastic price on the spot, and just added it to the job. The speed and surgical precision they used to get everything down was truly something else."

"We are so appreciative of Thomas at Squirrelly’s Lawn Care! We are making a quick move into a new home in a few days and do not yet have a lawnmower or tools to take care of our own yard. Squirrelly’s Lawn Care gave us an unbeatable quote, and was able to squeeze us in the next day. Since this was my first time using their services, and I would not be there in person, I was offered to receive pictures of the lawn once the job had been done, and was also given multiple options to make my payment. All of my interactions with Thomas were wonderful, and I would highly recommend their services to others!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Although dependent on the type and size of lumber, most 2-by-4-by-8-foot pieces of lumber cost anywhere from $3 to $6. Softwood lumber like pine falls on the lower end of the spectrum, while hardwood lumber like oak or walnut falls on the higher end. Different retailers and lumber yards can also vary in price, so it helps to shop around to compare prices.

Consider the height of the plants you plan on using with the trellis, as they will need the right amount of support to grow.

There are a few differences between pergolas and gazebos. Both structures provide shade, but pergolas are more minimalistic, with four posts and a terraced roof. Gazebos usually have an elevated floor and are typically shaped like a polygon with six or eight open-air sides and two small sets of steps leading up to the platform. Gazebos also tend to have pointed, shingled roofs and ornate accents. If you want a structure that keeps out water on rainy days, a gazebo may be a better option—though you can purchase an awning to go over your pergola to keep out water.

The best lumber for building will be the strongest and most eco-friendly wood your budget allows. That being said, Douglas fir, pine, oak, and maple are all common building materials. Contractors will use a strong, inexpensive wood to frame a house or other structure and finer woods like mahogany for detail work. 

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.
