Cedar Arbors and Diamond Privacy Screens in Houston
A diamond trellis does two jobs at once: it screens what you would rather not see and gives jasmine or vine something to climb. Built as a proper framed panel with even lattice spacing, it reads as joinery rather than as something stapled together from a pack.
Why Texan Landscape Group for Diamond Trellises & Privacy Screens
- 01
The number on this page is the number we work to.
Texan Landscape Group publishes an investment range of $2,500 to $12,000, or roughly $120 to $260 per linear foot installed for this service before you call, rather than qualifying you on the phone first. Almost no Houston landscape contractor does.
- 02
Lattice is cut and fitted on site to a consistent spacing and angle.
It is not installed out of a pre-made pack, which is the difference between joinery and a garden-centre panel.
- 03
Design and build sit inside the same five-person team.
The person who walks your property draws it, and the crew that installs it answers to Chris and Tony Gosselin. There is no sales handoff and no subcontracted install to chase.
- 04
One call afterwards.
No claims portal, no ticket number, and no subcontractor who has moved on.
What a Diamond Trellis and Privacy Screen Build Involves
Every project has the same core scope, adapted to the specific property and program.
- 01
Screen Layout
Sightlines checked on site so the screen goes where it actually blocks the view rather than where it is easiest to build.
- 02
Frames & Posts
Posts set and frames built to the panel span and to the wind that gets through the yard.
- 03
Lattice Fabrication
Diamond lattice cut and fitted to a consistent spacing and angle, on site rather than out of a pack.
- 04
Mounting & Toppers
Panels mounted freestanding, added to an existing fence as a topper, or held off a wall on furring.
- 05
Planting Support
Wires, ties, and clearance behind the lattice so climbers can be trained without pulling the frame apart.
- 06
Finish
Stained, painted, or left to weather, with hardware chosen so it cannot rust down the face of the panel.
Our Diamond Trellis and Privacy Screen Work Process in Houston
- 01
Site Walk and Sightline Check
We stand where you actually sit and check what needs screening from that position. Screens get built where they are easiest far too often; the point is to put it where it blocks the view you object to.
- 02
Frames and Posts
Posts are set and frames built to the panel span and to the wind that gets through the yard. A screen catches more wind than a fence of the same height, so the framing is sized for it.
- 03
Lattice Fabrication
Diamond lattice is cut and fitted to a consistent spacing and angle on site. Consistent spacing across a run is what makes the panel read as built rather than bought.
- 04
Mounting and Planting Support
Panels are mounted freestanding, added to an existing fence as a topper, or held off a wall on furring. Wires, ties, and clearance behind the lattice let climbers be trained without pulling the frame apart.
- 05
Finish and Handover
Panels are stained, painted, or left to weather, with hardware chosen so it cannot rust down the face. We walk it with you and recommend the climbers that suit the aspect.
Everything you see.
Everything you don’t.
What separates diamond trellis and privacy screen work that lasts from work that fails in two summers is the part you never look at again once it is finished. On this job that is screen layout and frames & posts — decided before anything visible goes in, and impossible to correct afterwards without taking up what sits on top. A trellis screen is usually the cheapest way to solve the Houston problem of a neighbour’s second storey looking straight into a back yard that a fence cannot reach. What you do see gets held to the same standard: the joint lines, the edges, and how the finished work meets the house.
How Much Does a Privacy Screen Cost in Houston?
The range below is what work of this kind typically runs in Houston, so you can place yourself in it before you call. It is a starting point, not a quote — every project is scoped to the specific property, program, and material selections.
We confirm a clear investment range in the initial consultation and issue a detailed proposal after the design phase.
- Run length, and the height each panel has to screen to
- Whether posts are set new, or panels mount to a fence or wall
- Timber grade, frame section, and the lattice spacing
- Hardware, and the finish — stained, painted, or left to weather
- Wires, ties, and the clearance kept behind for climbing planting
$2,500 – $12,000
Most projects of this type
- At the lower end
- A single framed panel screening an air conditioning unit or a pool equipment pad.
- At the upper end
- A long run of framed lattice on set posts, or fence toppers along a boundary, stained with climbing wires trained behind it.
A range, not a quote. Your figure depends on square footage, materials, how much grading and drainage the site needs, and equipment access.

Diamond Trellis and Privacy Screen Work Across Houston and the Surrounding Area
Texan Landscape Group builds diamond trellises and privacy screens across The Woodlands, Magnolia, Kingwood, Cypress, Katy, Spring Branch, Memorial, Tanglewood, River Oaks, West University Place and Bellaire, and throughout Harris and Montgomery counties. A trellis screen is usually the cheapest way to solve the Houston problem of a neighbour’s second storey looking straight into a back yard that a fence cannot reach. That is a design decision on every project, not a note added at the end of one.
Species selection for climbers on a screen follows the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension plant guidance for the Gulf Coast, because the wrong vine will pull a frame apart within three seasons. Design and construction sit inside one in-house team, which is why the drawing and the finished work match. You can learn more about our crew, or see all of our Houston landscape services for the full scope we design and build.

Diamond Trellis and Privacy Screen Work FAQs
How much does a diamond trellis or privacy screen cost?
Most screens run $2,500 to $12,000, or roughly $120 to $260 per linear foot installed. Height, whether it is freestanding or a fence topper, the timber specified, and the finish are the main variables.
Will a trellis screen actually give privacy?
On its own it filters the view rather than blocking it, which is often enough for an overlooked seating area. Planted with an evergreen climber it becomes solid within two to three seasons. If you need immediate full screening, a solid panel or a taller fence is the honest answer.
What climbs well on a trellis in Houston?
Star jasmine and Carolina jessamine are the reliable evergreen choices here. Fig ivy will cover fastest but is aggressive and needs managing. We match the species to the aspect and tell you what maintenance each one commits you to.
Can a trellis be added on top of an existing fence?
Yes, and it is usually the cheapest way to gain height. The existing posts have to be sound and deep enough to take the added wind load, which we check before quoting rather than after the first storm.
How long does a privacy screen take to build?
Most screens are two to five days on site. Longer runs, or panels built to an unusual frame detail, can run a week and a half.
Work that goes with this.
Most projects combine several of these, and doing them together costs less than doing them one at a time.
