"The quality of this job exceeded my expectations...and I expect perfection. Sam and his team removed a front yard tree without damaging my birds of paradise, lawn, sprinklers, roof, sidewalk, lighting system... The additional roots were removed better than an oral surgeon pulling a molar. The yard looked like they had just vaccuumed. I am SO delighted and overjoyed with their professionalism and skills. I wish we had known about Sam prior to our last tree removal... I have already shown his/their quality to several friends and family. THANK YOU!"

I worked with Hector, he is very good. I recommend them."

"Description of Work: Trim 3 Trees on front porch & front yard. After completion of tasks, the Tree Trimmer did not clean off black marks left on my concrete front porch. He also did not follow instructions on how much to cut back teee limbs. He ended up cutting away to many limbs thus leaving very little foilage left for shading porch from hot sun. I went forward with the work as I was in dire need of tree trimming services asap becaz the tree had grown over the rain gutter onto the roof. When the wind or rain came it would blow the tree limbs making loud scraping & dripping noises. We had to ask that the contractor to come back and remove the blk marks on porch concrete. He did so within 2 weeks. He pressure washed the entire front porch per my request thus leaving it looking very clean. He also cut back some additional limbs per my request that were low hanging stragglers. Overall he tidied up when he finished the task by blowing front porch & yard with a leaf blower. He discarded the cut branches & leaves into my green garbage can. At the completion of the re-work I came to front door with credit card to pay the contractor. He swiped my card using a hand held device smaller than a deck of cards. The payment went thru and confirm email was sent to me. Later after the re-work was completed I got 3 other quotes and found his tree trim service was $100's of dollars higher than comparable contractors in the area. Wished I had done that before I hired him. But Angie's list highly recommended him so I thought it was a good fit for my project. Apparently not. The tree trimming was over done by taking off too much of the foliage. In my communications and experience with this tree trimmer I found him to be not polite and to overly confident. Not willing to make any compromises regarding discounting the tree trim invoice due to his not following my instructions on how much to cut back the tree limbs. He was demanding payment over the phone and overly aggressive at first when I spoke to him about cutting back to much of the tree. Claiming I should have come outside while they were trimming to supervise. I had already gone over the instructions with him by texting him one week before start of job. I thought he was clear on how much to cut back but apparently not. So, I would not recommend or use this outfit again."

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.

Costs depend on material, size, design complexity, and additional features like lighting or seating.

While your municipality may have its own regulations requiring pergolas or other structures to be a certain height above a fire pit, the standard recommendation is that the pergola should be at least 10 feet above the fire pit. A taller pergola allows the heat from the flames to dissipate before reaching the structure.

Trellises offer versatility beyond just attaching to a fence because they provide privacy and shade. They can serve as standalone features in your garden or deck or as panel screens in pergolas. Plus, you can find trellises in various design options, including diamond-shaped or checker patterns, making working with trellises very creative and fun.

On average, a prefabricated pergola kit takes one to four hours to build. Prefabricated pergolas are the fastest to install and could save you money, while custom pergolas can take several days to install, ranging from eight to 16 hours. The number of workers on the project can also impact how long it takes to install a pergola. 

If you need to build a concrete slab, level your property, or remove obstacles from your yard before building a pergola, then your project could take several weeks to complete.
