We set ourselves apart from our competition by providing our customers with prompt, courteous service, helpful customer support and quality work.

"This is the fourth time I’ve used Mitch Drake and sons. And as with the other three times, their work is excellent. The crew is very conscientious about ensuring trees are cut down safely and they never damaged our fence or buildings. This time we had two large damaged/dead trees removed, a stump ground and multiple very large trees trimmed and dressed. When they finish, you wouldn’t have known they were here. The yard was picked clean. I would highly recommend Mitch for your tree service."

"I’ve now how my sod for a year and a half and I am CONSTANTLY having lawn issues. I’ve had lawn pro after lawn pro come out and all tell me the same thing, “whoever installed your sod didn’t do a good job, the sod is of very poor quality”. I spent over $10k for my landscape job with this company and wanted to have the best lawn in the neighborhood. Instead I have constant problems and have spend lots of $$$ trying to fix THEIR MISTAKES. Stay away from C&L Landscaping."

Smiths Tree And Stump is one of the very few tree services in Jax that carries workmans comp insurance. Don't be fooled, liability insurance alone does not cover employee injury. If you hire a company without workmans comp, you could be left paying for an employees injury. If you're tired of not getting called back, waiting weeks for an estimate, or even months to get the job done, call us today. In most cases we give can give an estimate the day you call. Work is usually scheduled within 5 business days and completed on the day we start. We have a Certified Arborist available for all your tree risk/health assessment needs. WE CAN ALSO GET YOU A PERMIT FOR TREE REMOVAL IN NEIGHBORHOODS THAT REQUIRE IT.

"Let me start by saying this company is definitely 5 stars and above. I have a huge magnolia tree in my front yard which needed some serious trimming. What a beautiful job 👏 very well knowledge explained everything very well. They had everything done perfectly and great time. Very well priced for what they did. I highly recommend this company"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

There are a few differences between pergolas and gazebos. Both structures provide shade, but pergolas are more minimalistic, with four posts and a terraced roof. Gazebos usually have an elevated floor and are typically shaped like a polygon with six or eight open-air sides and two small sets of steps leading up to the platform. Gazebos also tend to have pointed, shingled roofs and ornate accents. If you want a structure that keeps out water on rainy days, a gazebo may be a better option—though you can purchase an awning to go over your pergola to keep out water.

A cross brace for a fence gate should stretch from the top corner of the gate’s hinge side to the bottom corner of its latch side at a 45-degree angle to the bottom of the gate. This positioning distributes the bulk of the gate’s weight to the base of the post, taking pressure off the top hinge.

It’s best to opt for a lightweight roof, as a heavy roof adds a lot of weight and pressure to the support posts and hardware and destabilizes the structure. Vinyl is a good, lightweight option, as is a nice open trellis, louvered aluminum or vinyl slats, or fabric panels. Clear polycarbonate is another great option that offers seamless shelter and additional UV protection without completely obscuring the sunshine. You can also choose retractable coverings or an awning that you only use in wet weather or when you need additional shade.

Yes, many kinds of building permits exist for various projects in and outside your home. Each city sets the permit categories, but they typically cover new construction, alterations, and demolition. For example, you will need a different permit to finish a basement than you would tear down the patio.

Yes, you can build a pergola yourself or with a helper after you obtain any necessary building permits. A pergola can be as simple or complex as you like. Building a pergola is an excellent way to showcase your DIY skills and learn new ones along the way.
