Greenhouse Buildings & Garden Structures
At Green Team Builders, we design and build eco-conscious outdoor systems that support food sustainability, year-round gardening, and natural beauty. From greenhouse installations to farm conversions and living garden structures, we’re here to help you grow smarter, live greener, and harvest more—right from your own backyard.
Greenhouse Structures
We build high-quality, climate-resilient greenhouse systems tailored to your space and growing goals. Choose from multiple styles to match your budget and aesthetic.
Greenhouse service area: Our greenhouse division builds within about 100 miles of Catlett, Virginia, serving Virginia, Maryland, Washington DC, the West Virginia Eastern Panhandle, and south-central Pennsylvania. Garden structures, sun rooms, and our other services are available in Virginia only.
We also design and install glass greenhouses for growers who want excellent light quality, long-lasting construction, and a premium look. Every glass build includes professional site prep and installation, and pairs well with a level concrete pad. Not sure which style fits? Start with Plan Your Plot or contact us at 540-216-2395.

Site Prep Essentials:
Every successful greenhouse starts with proper grading, water drainage, plumbing, and electrical. We prep your site with precision and install smart irrigation and climate control systems to support automated operations—making your greenhouse as hands-off or hands-on as you want it to be.
Start with Plan Your Plot site planning, get grading and trenching done with our skid steer site prep, and set your structure on a level concrete pad.

FAQ
How much does a greenhouse cost in Northern Virginia?
Backyard greenhouses in Northern Virginia typically cost between $8,000 and $35,000 depending on size, materials, and site preparation. Custom cedar structures and larger installations can exceed this range.
Do greenhouses require permits in Northern Virginia?
Permit requirements vary by county, but larger permanent structures typically require approval. We can help guide this process.
What foundation is best for a greenhouse?
It depends on the structure and your site. Smaller and seasonal greenhouses can often sit on a compacted, well-drained gravel pad with a perimeter frame, while larger or permanent greenhouses usually perform best on a reinforced concrete slab. Either way, the site needs proper grading and drainage, secure anchoring against wind, and a base sized for the structure’s weight and any snow load. We prepare and pour level concrete pads for greenhouses as part of the installation.
How long does installation take?
Most greenhouse installations take between one and three weeks, depending on site preparation, foundation work, and the size of the structure.
Can you handle site preparation and installation?
Yes, projects include site evaluation, grading, foundation preparation, material delivery, and full installation.
What is a walk-in garden structure?
A walk-in garden structure is a framed, enclosed growing space designed for easy access and protection from weather and wildlife while supporting food production.
How much does a garden structure cost?
Walk-in garden structures typically range from $3,000 to $15,000 depending on size, materials, and customization.
Can garden structures be customized?
Yes, structures are designed to match your property, layout, and growing goals using durable materials like cedar.
Can NRCS help fund a high tunnel in Virginia?
Eligibility and funding are decided by USDA NRCS, not by us, so start with your local NRCS office. Read our guide to NRCS high tunnel grants in Virginia, then contact us for site prep and installation.
Do garden structures protect against animals?
Yes, many designs include enclosed systems that protect plants from deer and other wildlife.
