I specialize in tree removals and trimming as well as shaping trees. No job is too big or too small. I have over 20 years of experience in Tree Service and we offer very competitive pricing. This company is owner operated and I am on every job site. We meet all bond and insurance requirements. Contact us for your FREE estimate!!

"Joel & his team are honest, brave , & hard working. They arrived on time everyday & cleaned up & left my home neat & well cared for every night. I have dozens of large live oaks & Monterey pines on my property some 60 feet tall. Joel helped me maintain a fire safe cleared area all around my home removing huge branches & limbs from trees that had to be climbed & cabled for safety. These are tree professionals. Actual experts not just tree trimmers. My property is a steep hillside. No problem. Most of my trees are 50 to 100 years old. Some I planted as a boy. I am 63. Everything was done safely & neatly with every tree cared for so each will thrive & live another 50 or 100 years. Joel even found a dove’s nest full of baby birds on a limb 40 feet up set to be cut & came down to ask me how to proceed. We saved the limb to save the nest while the mother & father flew around nervously. Hire Gil Tree Service. This guy is the real deal. They are the best decision you can make."

"After reading the many 5⭐️ reviews that Bears Tree Service had, I called them for a quote on a small tree job. Fernando came out within 30 minutes, listened to my tree trimming needs and gave me an immediate, reasonable quote. He was able to come out the same day, late afternoon, and did this job for me. Tree looks great, meets my expectations. Fernando cleaned up the work site, looks great. I highly recommend Bears Tree Service, if Fernando is the guy to do the job. 👍👍👍"

"I hired this company to fill in an inground pool. The pro came, observed the location, and discussed what exactly I wanted in detail. He was able to get me an accurate quote quickly and schedule his crew. They did the job well and left the site neat. I've had other work done by other companies over the years and always had to clean up after them. In contrast, these men were very professional and respectful of my property. Would I hire this Pro again? Absolutely. Without hesitation. Would I recommend him to others? Absolutely!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

It depends on how you’ll use it. Both awnings and pergolas create shelter in outdoor areas, but pergolas have grid-style roofs, which are more open than awnings and not as effective at blocking out UV rays and precipitation. Also, pergolas are permanent structures, so you can’t put them away when you aren’t using them (unlike retractable awnings).

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).

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.

Your fence post holes should be about three times as wide as the post. So if your post is 4-by-4 inches, you should make your hole at least 12 inches wide. The depth of the hole depends on the height of your post, but it should be as deep as one-third of the post height.
