Outdoor Spaces Designed to Fit Western Springs Homes

A Green Grass outdoor living project in Western Springs typically starts around $15,000 for a patio sized for outdoor dining, and larger entertaining patios run $35,000 to $60,000 before features such as outdoor kitchens, pergolas, or fire pits are added. A mid-size outdoor kitchen on a stone base typically runs $12,000 to $20,000 before appliances and gas hookup, and a custom cedar pergola typically runs $13,000 to $30,000. Final pricing depends on property conditions, materials, site access, and the overall scope. The ranges do not include the design retainer, permit drawings and fees, or site-specific grading and drainage work, and a consultation turns them into a proposal for your property.

A cedar pergola provides filtered shade and a traditional look at a lower cost, while a louvered pergola has louvers that open and close to control sun and shade over the space. Custom cedar pergolas from Green Grass typically range from $13,000 to $30,000, depending on size and whether paint, stain, and electrical are included. Louvered pergolas typically range from $40,000 to over $70,000 and can be equipped with heaters, a fan, screens, and lighting. Cedar suits Western Springs homeowners who want a structure that blends into the landscape, while a louvered pergola suits those who want more control over comfort through the seasons.

Western Springs homeowners can use their backyard for more of the year by adding a fire feature, a covered or heated structure, and landscape lighting to the main outdoor living area. Fire pits and outdoor fireplaces create a warm gathering point on cool spring and fall evenings. Pavilions and louvered pergolas with heaters provide shelter when the weather turns, and landscape lighting keeps patios, steps, and walkways usable after sunset. Green Grass plans these features together so the space works as one outdoor room rather than a collection of separate additions.
