"Martin came out on a Saturday, and I walked him through the yard to show him what I wanted done. He gave me a fair quote that we both agreed on and said he'd be back the following Saturday to complete the work. He showed up right on time with four trucks, a wood chipper, a Vermeer, and an 8-man crew—ready to go. In just one day, they removed one dead tree and six large shrubs, cleared out all the dead growth from winter, edged everything perfectly, created a parking spot for my trailer, transformed a bare dirt area into a grass patch with topsoil, seed, and blanket, and trimmed every tree on the property. On top of that, they planted eight bushes and thirty flowering plants. I couldn't be happier—the yard looks incredible! Martin and his team were professional, efficient, and did a fantastic job. I’ll definitely be using them again and highly recommend their services."

"I used FJ for a year and a half. They solicited me. Over the course they cut my landscape light wires 3 times. The first 2 times I told Fabian and put white lawn marker flags out so they could see where the wires were. The guy just wound up weed wacking the flags to pieces and cut them again. They also ran their mower in my fence gate bending the frame, which I never even mentioned to him. This last time they cut the wire again (have on video) I texted Fabian he became very abusive and offensive telling me he does not care and I am annoying. Mind you , I have never asked for anything for damages now or in the past and have only spoken to him maybe 5 times in 2 years. He mentioned I only pay when I want to but he has been paid every penny I have ever owed him. very poor business owner and would not recommend unless you want a careless, arrogant person maintaining your lawn."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Wooden pergolas can last five and 12 years as long as you maintain your pergola. Make sure to clean, stain, and seal wood pergolas every two to three years to protect the wood from insect damage, rot, and decay. 

Vinyl or aluminum pergolas can last a lifetime. The only problems you may encounter with these pergola materials are weather-related—heavy rain storms or snowfalls. Check the stability of your pergola every season. You may need to add new supports or replace broken beams on an as-needed basis.

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.

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.

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).

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.
