From lush climbing roses in Irvington to espaliered fruit trees in Sellwood, a well-built trellis can transform a Portland backyard. CountBricks leverages AI-powered estimating and on-site craftsmanship to make sure every trellis Portland Oregon homeowners request is perfectly matched to our unique Pacific Northwest climate, local codes, and personal style goals.
• Year-round greenery: Portland’s mild winters let evergreen vines keep spaces vibrant even in January.
• Space-saving gardens: Narrow urban lots can still produce grapes, hops, or kiwis vertically.
• Added privacy: Dense foliage shields patios from neighboring windows without constructing a full wall.
• Curb appeal: A cedar or powder-coated steel trellis frames entryways and boosts resale value.
Cedar: Naturally rot-resistant and locally sourced, cedar is the most requested material in our CountBricks.com/services catalog. It accepts stain well and weathers to a silvery gray that matches Northwest modern design.
Douglas-fir with Eco-Stain: A budget-friendly option when paired with our proprietary low-VOC sealant to deter moisture and insects.
Powder-Coated Steel: For clients wanting ultra-slim profiles and zero maintenance, we fabricate steel frames in our CountBricks workshop before on-site installation.
Composite Lumber: Ideal for homeowners who prefer a wood look but want the lifetime warranty CountBricks offers on select composite installs.
Traditional estimating relies on manual takeoffs and guesswork. CountBricks replaces that lag time with live voice capture and blueprint recognition. While you describe your dream trellis, our platform scans dimensions, imports current cedar board pricing, and outputs a line-item estimate in seconds. No more mystery allowances—just transparent numbers you can approve instantly.
• Footing depth: Seismic zone D in Portland requires deeper concrete piers than many U.S. cities.
• Wood species: Clear-grade western red cedar can add 30% over standard select grade.
• Finish level: A three-coat marine stain extends life but adds labor.
• Integrated lighting or irrigation: Low-voltage LED strips and drip lines routed through posts increase material complexity.
Most freestanding garden trellises under 10 feet tall fall below Portland’s structural permit threshold, but those attached to a residence or serving as a privacy screen may trigger review. CountBricks handles the submission process through our in-house permit concierge so you stay compliant without paperwork headaches. Need historic district approval? Our designers prepare renderings that satisfy neighborhood guidelines the first time.

When the Morales family contacted CountBricks, they had a simple request—hide an aging cedar fence and give climbing roses a support system. In just two weeks, our team turned that request into a signature feature featured on CountBricks.com/portfolio.
• 24-foot long cedar-and-steel hybrid trellis anchored to helical piles for minimal garden disturbance.
• Integrated smart drip irrigation controlled from the homeowner’s phone.
• Pre-finished with a low-sheen charcoal stain to complement the existing ADU.
Our initial voice-captured session generated an estimate of $7,940. Final invoice closed at $7,905—within 0.4% of the original number, proving the accuracy of CountBricks’ live-pricing engine.
“I loved that I could tweak the height during our Zoom call and the price changed instantly. No waiting, no surprises,” Mrs. Morales wrote in her post-project survey.
• Budget for downlighting—long, gray winters benefit from evening illumination.
• Ask CountBricks to pre-route irrigation lines; retrofits cost 30% more.
• Choose stainless hardware within five miles of the Willamette River to resist corrosion.
