"Austin and Rein Landscaping LLC took over from another "landscaping" company I previously had. Rein was a great improvement over the other outfit. His is a young company, yet they are knowledgeable, professional, and attentive. Austin has been a good listener and has carefully followed the few concerns I had regarding my Hostas and the poison ivy growing along our fence (He eradicated the poison ivy without killing nearby vegetation.). Rein is conscientious and efficient. I highly recommend this couteous young man and his top-notch company."

"Do not go to this ?company? for a fence. This is the worst experience I have ever had. First of all the gate is ginormous. And they put 2 hinges on it thinking that would support the weight? I had this done in February and within a month I can not close the gate because it drags on the ground. I told Alton, the owner I guess, that the gate was too big and he blamed ME. He said I did not request a smaller gate. Last time I looked I was not a gate expert. The fence itself, within 2 weeks the boards started warping, see pics. After I complained he said he would come fix it because ?I am nice?. No, it is because he did not put a 4X4 along the bottom of the fence to tack it down so it would not warp. And, he never came back. Said he would come back and never did. Now I have to pay another guy to fix the fence. Alton said he would do it without labor costs, now I have to pay someone else. He is rude, condescending and has no skill to do this kind of work. Hire at your own risk. "

Arborists questions, answered by experts

The best lumber for building will be the strongest and most eco-friendly wood your budget allows. That being said, Douglas fir, pine, oak, and maple are all common building materials. Contractors will use a strong, inexpensive wood to frame a house or other structure and finer woods like mahogany for detail work. 

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.

Both cedar and redwood are some of the best woods for pergolas. Both are rot- and insect-resistant and have gorgeous natural tones that age well. Redwood tends to have a longer life span than cedar, but it also comes at a higher cost. While both options are durable, the best wood between these two for your pergola will primarily depend on your budget.

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.

Pressure-treated wood is a classic and budget-friendly choice for building a pergola. If you’re going for a more natural look, opt for hardwoods such as redwood and cedar. These naturally resist insects and rot, plus they have stunning color and texture on their own, so you’ll be able to skip stains and paints.
