"--- Beautiful Backyard Transformation by Harry’s Team! Harry Professional Landscaping Service did an outstanding job on my backyard. I hired them to level the yard and install pavers around an existing cement walkway, and the results were fantastic. The team was efficient, detail-oriented, and clearly experienced in hardscaping. They took the time to ensure the ground was properly graded, which made a huge difference in the final look and functionality. The pavers were laid with precision, creating a clean, polished border that really enhances the space. It’s now both beautiful and practical—perfect for entertaining or just relaxing outdoors. I highly recommend Harry and his crew for any landscaping or hardscaping needs. Their professionalism and craftsmanship truly exceeded my expectations!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Pergolas and similar overhead outdoor structures will typically be subject to building code regulations. Every municipality is different, and some may have specs or permit requirements, so it’s important to double-check. Some HOAs may also have restrictions on what you can build, so be sure to check with your HOA as well (if applicable).

Pergolas have no base structure to hold them up, so it’s necessary to attach them to some type of foundation. Most pergolas require a minimum of at least four concrete footings to keep them solid and stable in the ground. Attaching the pergola to a concrete foundation is an option as well.

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.

For optimal sun exposure, strategically place your trellises along the northern boundary of your garden bed or adjacent to a fence or wall. Conversely, consider situating the trellises on the southern side in sun-drenched locales to create soothing shade for heat-sensitive plants, effectively screening and sheltering them from the scorching summer sun.

While your municipality may have its own regulations requiring pergolas or other structures to be a certain height above a fire pit, the standard recommendation is that the pergola should be at least 10 feet above the fire pit. A taller pergola allows the heat from the flames to dissipate before reaching the structure.
