"They waited for the proper time of year for the oak tree, and did an excellent job trimming that oak tree when the tree was in pretty rough condition. They also did an excellent job on a locust tree that was in a difficult position next to a shed and the neighbor's house and over a chain link fence. Both area's were cleaned up very well after the job was complete. The price was also very competitive. "

We do everything from site clearing , driveways, grading , demolition and much more. We service a 100 mile radius and are open to working within the entire state. If you need us call today.

"Titan did a magnificent job on my property during the past week. I needed the following done: Grading work on my 3 acre property and three different types of rocks delivered. I also needed additional black dirt brought in to make it perfect. From start to finish the communication was excellent with Will. He let me know what time they would get to my job and everything that was going on during the work process. This is something that a lot of contractors just fail to do in my past experiences. They provide top notch equipment, with many different attachments for various types of jobs during the entire process. This ensures that the job is done correctly, the first time! Lastly, customer service could not be better. They (Will and Tim) stayed with the job until I was completely satisfied. Always keeping a great attitude no matter how many questions I asked. Even going the extra nine yards finishing the job better than I expected. "

"Morning of 8/28 @ 8am I was told by Eric I was on that Day's schedule for service to be completed. Crew shows up at 4:30pm and cuts down tree leaving all the debris laying in the middle of the yard, And just leave the job unfinished. I reached out to Eric again with my concerns and asked when everything would get cleaned up, including stump removal. He assured me after a slight mechanical issue with one of the trucks, that his crew would be back later that night to remove the stump and clean up all the debris. Finally a guy shows up a couple hours later and removes the stump, this time leaving another HUGE mess of wood chips all over my yard, and all the tree debris just continued to lay in the middle of my yard untouched. And, once again, the guy just leaves with ZERO communication! I expressed my frustration to Eric, who continued to just makeup excuses. I told him I was dissatisfied with the quality of service and I'd be talking with the owner Jake. Eric became rude and unfriendly to work with. I spoke with Jake and explained the days events and my frustration with the quality of his crew. He too was rude and not willing to take responsibility for the poor quality. Worst at communication l. Will never use again or recommend"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, it’s definitely possible to build a pergola on an existing deck. All you need to do is attach the pergola support beams to the deck’s joists and build up from there. Beware that mistakes can damage your deck, so if you’re at all unsure of the process, play it safe and hire a pro for your custom build.

Installation typically takes 2-5 days, depending on the structure size and site preparation.

Other projects that you can do at the same time as your trellis include painting the deck , installing a pergola, or adding mulch to your garden beds.

Not only does adding a pergola to your landscaping add value to your home, but it also provides an excellent selling point to potential buyers who enjoy outdoor living.
