"Excellent! The team showed up on time, explained the procedure to me, confirmed what I wanted done & price. The job was done faster than I expected, and they left the mulch at my request. I'd give them more stars if it was possible!"

Family own Business 20 years exp. ISA Certified Arborist, we carry General liability insurance and worker’s comp. providing tree service such as pruning, (limited) tree planting, plant health care, tree removals and stumpgrinding at competitive prices.

"Very well! He knew where to clip and caught most of the branches and twigs, so there was very little to clean up, and he hauled them away in his own trash bin. He agreed with me and did a conservative trimming, and the tree looks very nice."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Turnbuckle weight loads vary depending on their size. Smaller 1/4-inch turnbuckles have a weight capacity of about 500 pounds. A 3/8-inch diameter turnbuckle, which is strong enough to handle most residential fence gates, can handle a working load of 1,200 pounds. Larger 1/2-inch diameter models have a limit of 4,000 pounds.

Yes, most general contractors require a down payment for project completion. A reasonable down payment for a contractor is 10% to 25% of the total project cost, though that will vary based on project size and location. The down payment helps cover the upfront costs of materials and permits and helps ensure payment for the project at hand. 

Typical pergola kits include four support columns, several rafters, top runners, support beams, and a base for bolting the structure to a concrete surface. The types of pergolas vary by manufacturer and feature. Some have only two support columns, with the rest of the structure leaning against a carport or patio. Others have retractable shade canopies to keep cool in the summer. 

Pergolas have no base structure to hold them up, so it’s necessary to attach them to some type of foundation. Most pergolas require a minimum of at least four concrete footings to keep them solid and stable in the ground. Attaching the pergola to a concrete foundation is an option as well.

You have several options you can choose from for climbing plants without damaging your siding. Climbing hydrangea and Carolina jessamine are two options, and jasmine, honeysuckle, and sweet pea are a few others. Look for these climbing plants to add lovely curb appeal and are less likely to cause damage to your siding.
