Chips Tree Service is a local Phoenix tree service company that has been with the valley since 2009 .We have Certified Arborist on site everyday and experienced workers that have been in trees for anywhere between 5-15 years or more. Our office staff keep a very professional atmosphere and are always happy to set an appointment, take a payment or simply help our clients get a better understanding of how we operate. Call us and find this out for yourself! Our main office number is 623-516-9900

"Texas Ebony = A+ for entire job (front yard). Ended up with a couple of broken ornaments (for scaring birds away) but other than that their skill and bravery for even climbing inside this super thorny tree was very good. I don’t know a lot about tree pruning and was a little worried about how it looked like a big hole/space in the middle of the tree when they were done. But it has filled nicely since. Chinese Elm (back yard) = B+. This tree was originally pruned by my regular landscapers, not expert arborists like Chip Off Old Block, so it was a little weird looking in the first place: Lop-sided - partially due to my backyard neighbors’ oleander which fights for territory with it; few branches in the center. This outfit couldn’t make branches appear where there weren’t any of course, but it REALLY looked bare in the center when they were done. I’m not sure about this process of clearing off the inside of each branch (closest to the trunk) and leaving a lot of leaves and smaller branches at the end of each large branch. It seemes to me that makes it heavy on the ends. But I figured they knew what they were doing. (Plus, the front yard tree filled in well.) I also figured they did it that way so wind could pass through easier or something. But last week (before the big storm yesterday and today) there was some wind gusts in my neighborhood and a big branch did, in fact, break and fall. I texted my contact with the company, sent pics and my questions about the process (just need to be educated I guess), but haven’t had a response. We also had a lemon tree taken out due to disease. Originally they said it would be removed, roots, ball and all. They worked two different days on it but could not get the root ball out. I have to say, this crew did not clean up on this project as well as the others on the other projects. They were recommended by my landscape contractor and overall, I was satisfied. I’d use them again and would recommend them."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Pergolas and similar overhead outdoor structures will typically be subject to building code regulations. Every municipality is different, and some may have specs or permit requirements, so it’s important to double-check. Some HOAs may also have restrictions on what you can build, so be sure to check with your HOA as well (if applicable).

Building a pergola yourself costs less than hiring someone to do it for two reasons. First, a contractor will charge a markup on the materials. Second, you’ll save the entire cost of labor. In exchange for the money you save, you’ll need to dedicate at least one full weekend to the project.

There are many materials to choose from, including picket fencing, wood slats, galvanized metal skirting, dog-ear fence panels, scallop wood fence panels, bamboo screens, and other decorative screens. You can search for materials at local big box stores like Home Depot or scour online home improvement sites. Good search terms to use are fencing, skirting, and privacy panels.

Pressure-treated wood is a classic and budget-friendly choice for building a pergola. If you’re going for a more natural look, opt for hardwoods such as redwood and cedar. These naturally resist insects and rot, plus they have stunning color and texture on their own, so you’ll be able to skip stains and paints.

Both cedar and redwood are some of the best woods for pergolas. Both are rot- and insect-resistant and have gorgeous natural tones that age well. Redwood tends to have a longer life span than cedar, but it also comes at a higher cost. While both options are durable, the best wood between these two for your pergola will primarily depend on your budget.
