Therefore, the type of pergola that is best for your home depends on what you want to achieve from it.

Pergolas can be either free-standing or attached and come in a number of different styles, shapes, and materials. The best type of pergola is one that complements your home.

How much does a pergola cost in Melbourne Inner East?

Pergolas come in all shapes and sizes so the cost of a pergola on your Melbourne property will be dependent on how big you want it to be, whether you’re after a particular shape or style, and what material you want it to be built from.

As a guide, a relatively basic pergola made from wood with minimal design flair could start around $12,000*, while for a larger sized pergola with a louvred roof you can expect to pay upwards of $50,000*.

Our Landscaping Consultants can talk you through the considerations to take on board while you decide what type of pergola is right for your property and what budget you want to spend.

*Costs are rough estimates and are subject to change. For a fixed-quote accurate to your specific project, please consult your local Zones Landscaping Consultant. 

Do you need a permit to build a pergola?

A standard pergola of a minimum size is unlikely to need council consent if you’re adding it to your Melbourne property, but your local Zones Landscaping Consultant can determine this for you as part of your landscaping process. Larger pergolas that are more than 3.6m high and wider than 20 sqm will likely need a permit but, once again, your local Zones Landscaping Consultant can take care of those details for you.
