Understanding The Difference Between Gazebos, Pergolas, and Pavilions
When enhancing your outdoor living space, choosing the right type of outdoor structure is key. Gazebos, pergolas, and pavilions, while very similar, offer distinct features and functionalities suited to different landscaping needs.
Gazebos: Traditionally octagonal in shape, gazebos are standalone structures often placed in garden settings. They feature a solid roof and partially open sides, providing shelter while maintaining a connection with the surrounding landscape. Gazebos are ideal for creating a secluded retreat in your garden, offering a shaded spot for relaxation or an intimate space for outdoor dining.
Pergolas: Pergolas are outdoor structures characterized by their open lattice or cross-beam roofs and usually supported on columns or posts. They are perfect for defining spaces like dining areas or outdoor lounges. Pergolas provide partial shade, making them ideal for areas where you want to enjoy both sun and shade. They can also support climbing plants, adding a natural, green touch to your outdoor area.
Pavilions: Similar to gazebos, pavilions are larger and typically rectangular or square. They provide full coverage with a solid roof and are often used as an extension of the home. Pavilions are great for larger gatherings, offering sheltered outdoor space for entertainment, dining, or relaxation. They can be placed near a pool, in a spacious garden, or as a centerpiece in your backyard.
In an outdoor living space, the choice between a gazebo, pergola, and pavilion often depends on the intended use, available space, budget, and personal preferences. Gazebos offer a charming escape in a garden setting, pergolas integrate seamlessly with your landscaping for a stylish outdoor living area, and pavilions serve as a versatile space for larger gatherings and family activities.
How Much Do Pergolas & Pavilions Cost?

Choosing Between Pre-Made Kits and Custom-Built Options for Your Outdoor Structures
When deciding on an outdoor structure like a gazebo, pergola, or pavilion, you have two primary options: purchase a pre-made kit or get a custom-built design. Both choices offer unique benefits, but it's essential to consider the complexities of actually installing an outdoor structure before proceeding.
Pre-Made Kits: These kits come with all the necessary components and instructions for assembly. They offer convenience and a quicker installation process, with designs varying from basic to more intricate styles. However, it's important to note that even with pre-made kits, the installation can be challenging, requiring specific tools and a certain level of expertise to ensure structural integrity and safety.
Custom-Built Options: Custom-built structures are tailored to your specific preferences and the unique characteristics of your landscape. They provide the flexibility to choose materials, sizes, and designs that perfectly match your outdoor space and personal style. Custom outdoor structures can be more complex and require skilled craftsmanship, making them a task best left to a team of professional landscapers.
While DIY installation might seem appealing, it's important to consider the potential challenges and risks. Working with a professional landscaping company like Silva Custom Design ensures that whether you choose a pre-made kit or a custom-built structure, it will be constructed safely and correctly.

Here's What They Say
Edwin and his team were fantastic to work with! We needed our old 90's patio steps rebuilt the exact same way and they were the only company to tackle this project for us. All the others tried to talk us into a whole new look for a lot more money. So glad we went with Silva! Edwin's customer service and expertise is top notch. I highly recommend!
Edwin and his team were amazing! They handled all the permits and paperwork and got promptly to work as soon as everything was finalized. His team that came out were respectful and made sure my wife and I were happy with everything along the way. We love the fence and would recommend to anyone looking for good quality work!
Loved working with Edwin and his team! His team redid our entire back yard and did a beautiful fence to go along with it! They also set up our playground/swing set for us! We loved them so much we had them come back the next year to fix up our garage and build us an above the garage room!
I HIGHLY recommend Silva custom design. Edwin is the best! Edwin redid my driveway and did the foundation + framing for my home addition. His crews were very respectful cleaning up daily and very hard workers! I honestly was sad he wasn’t able to do more work on my renovation.
Edwin and his team were fantastic to work with and our patio turned out beautiful. Edwin came out quickly to give us a quote on removing some raised beds and redoing our collapsing patio and then fit us into his schedule for the fall. We appreciated his professionalism and that he gave us quotes for both new pavers and reusing our old ones. We decided to go with new pavers and they look amazing. The work was done quickly and perfectly! We would happily recommend them to anyone.
