Specialties: Tree Removal & Tree Pruning/Trimming Low-Impact Tree Removal Crane-Assisted Tree Removal Emergency Response Debris Hauling (tree & landscape debris) Add On Services: Stump Grinding We are known for our attention to detail and going above and beyond with our services. That means our crews are extremely mindful of our customers' properties and doing the extra work at no cost to get the overall desired results our customers expect. This ranges from moving furniture out of the way and then putting it back exactly how it was placed, to blowing off areas of the yard where we didn't do any tree work. At ATS, we believe in a holistic and comprehensive approach to tree care. As we see it, pruning and tree removal should be done for a good reason, as determined by a qualified diagnosis. We are also committed to great customer service and unconditional customer satisfaction

"We are extremely satisfied with the work Robert and his son did for us. After my first call, Robert came out the next day, looked at our project, gave some advice, quoted a price, set up a date to install the sod (500 sq. ft.) When they arrived they cleared the existing roots and leveled the area and made prep for the installation of sod. On the day of installation they were here at 8:30AM and installed the sod, they went above and beyond, by doing more than what we had discussed. I had two areas that I mentioned I would take care of but they went ahead and did those for me. I will use them again if needed and highly reccomend them if you have a landscape project. Gary"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

A concrete base—or concrete footings, more specifically—is necessary for a freestanding pergola build. A pergola is top-heavy and can’t stand on its own, so it will always need some type of base or support. If you’re attaching a pergola to a deck, the deck’s supportive joists will act as the support, so there will be no concrete base or footings necessary.

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. 

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.

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.

The average cost to build a pergola ranges from $2,200 to $6,400, whereas the average cost of an awning ranges from $1,400 to $4,400, meaning that an awning tends to be less expensive to build or install than a pergola. Ultimately, the less expensive option depends on a few factors, including size, quality of materials used, and location.
