What to tell Pros before they quote
- Patio or garden photos and dimensions
- Preferred material and shade style
- Wall-mounted or freestanding preference
- Community or developer approval rules
- Lighting, fan or drainage needs
For pergola, separate your must-have scope from optional extras before comparing quotes. This keeps the first estimate realistic, makes upgrades easier to price, and helps you spot when one quote is cheaper only because important work was left out.
