A pergola or gazebo gives your yard a defined, shaded place to eat, relax and entertain. Green Acres builds cedar and timber pergolas and gazebos in Wilmington, DE and New Castle County, as stand-alone structures or over a patio, fire pit or outdoor kitchen.
Pergolas filter sun and give climbing plants a frame. Gazebos add a solid roof for rain and stronger sun protection.
| Pergola | Gazebo | |
|---|---|---|
| Roof | Open lattice that filters sun | Solid roof for sun and rain |
| Sides | Open | Open or partly enclosed |
| Best for | Patio dining, vines, partial shade | A destination seating or cooking spot |
| Usually placed | Over a patio or deck | On its own pad or foundation |

Recent reviews from homeowners, HOAs and property managers, pulled live from our Google Business Profile.
A pergola has an open lattice roof that filters sun and supports climbing plants, with open sides. A gazebo has a solid roof and is often a freestanding, partly enclosed structure with fuller protection from sun and rain. Pergolas suit patios, and gazebos suit a separate destination spot.
Size, material, roof style, footings, whether it is attached to the house or freestanding, added features like lighting or fans, and the surface beneath it. A pergola over an existing patio costs differently from a gazebo built with its own base.
Often yes. Permit requirements depend on size, height, whether the structure is attached to the house, and whether it has a solid roof, and HOAs frequently require approval as well. We check the rules for your address before the design is final so there are no surprises.
Usually yes, if the patio can support the posts and footings can be placed correctly. Sometimes we cut in new footings or add structural support through the patio. We inspect the patio first and tell you what is needed before you commit to the project.
Yes. Pergolas and gazebos are common over dining areas, outdoor kitchens and fire pit seating. Planning wiring, gas lines and drainage at the design stage keeps the installation simple, and lets us place posts so they do not interfere with appliances, counters or seating.
