"It went really well. They were there when they said they were going to be. They left an accurate time line for how long the job is going to take and completed it within that estimated amount of time. They basically listened to everything I said that I wanted and it came out perfectly and as we expected. We're really happy with them taking what we anted and what we said we wanted and actually making it happen. Our Sales person, Ben Brown, did a really good job leasing between the workers. He's very attentive, listened to everything that we wanted and oversaw the job very well."

BearCo. Tree Service is your go-to choice for all your tree service needs in Indianapolis. With our full-service approach and commitment to customer satisfaction, we stand out from the competition. Contact us today for top-quality tree services that you can rely on.

"BearCo was very professional from the estimate process to the actual work. The trucks arrived with a wood chipper, powered dolly to carry the logs, a stump grinder, and a crew. The work included removing multiple dead trees, hauling the wood out of a very wooded back yard, grinding a few stumps, and cleanup. The on-site person in charge was very easy to work with. I was very happy with the results, and I would hire them again. Between the time of the estimate and the actual work, Indy had a bad storm which caused one of my live trees to uproot and lean against a neighbor’s tree. Another windstorm could make it fall against my neighbor’s house or fence. BearCo made a special trip out before the original work and removed the leaning tree. They charged me a reasonable fee for this extra trip. I really appreciate that BearCo made that special effort."

"Really disappointed in the entire experience with grounds quality lawn. Starting with just initiating the job, it took nearly a month to get responses from them and get someone out to start work. I only stuck with it at that point because a family friend said they were good but should have gone with my gut and found another company at that point. The guys they sent were constantly taking breaks and at one point the foreman even grabbed my fishing pole and spent about 30 min fishing while the remaining four watched him. This wouldn't have bothered me as much if the rate I was paying was more reasonable but they were charging me about $600 per hour for the 5 guys so these breaks and fishing sessions were costing me a lot of money. I voiced my concern with the project manager who just made excuses and cared not at all about what was going on. I asked to speak to owner Justin grounds who did the same. Just excused the behavior and had no problem with it whatsoever. All the while no one could explain why the hourly rate was so high when the guys were working so inefficiently. They kept saying the hourly rate was $60 per hour per crew member but charging me double that with no explanation. Not sure if I was just unlucky or if the company is getting complacent and resting on their reputation but I was very unimpressed and I am generally very easy going with these things and rarely complain about having bad service from anyone."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Costs depend on material, size, design complexity, and additional features like lighting or seating.

Rather than using a common two-by-four piece of wood for a rafter, you probably will use two-by-six, two-by-eight, two-by-ten, or even two-by-twelve boards. Wider lumber is typically a better choice in a larger building as it provides more sturdiness. Some installers may use wider lumber for rafters near the edges of the roof, where the greatest stress occurs, and save money with narrower lumber toward the middle.

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

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. 

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.
