"It was great! They arrived exactly on time, worked quietly & efficiently, stacked the wood we wanted to keep just as we asked them to do and hauled the rest away. They cleaned up so good that, if it were not for the remaining stump, we would hardly know a tree had been there! The price was very good. We had multiple estimates and we chose them because of their fair & reasonable price. We would definitely hire them again!"

New Creation Tree Service is committed to excellence in every aspect of our business. We uphold a standard of integrity bound by fairness, honesty, and personal responsibility. Our distinction is the quality of service we bring to our customers. Accurate knowledge of our trade combined with ability is what makes us true professionals. Above all, we are watchful of our customers' interests, and make their concerns the basis of our business

"Edwin the owner is very easy to talk to. He understands your needs and offers the most reasonable and unmatched pricing. Don't waste your time comparing, he'll come out with the lowest price. But the proof of the pudding is in the eating. I had 2 trees removed and 7 huge branches some of them larger than actual trees. Edwin's team of 5 came down with short notice the next day with all the equipment and ensured a professional and safe job. Some huge branches were above my roof and down below are formal landscaping plants. They did a professional and thorough job, without causing damages and cleaned up afterwards really well. The whole crew was courteous and kniwlegeable. I've had many tree cutting and trimming before but Edwin and New Creation, has done the best deal and job overall. I highly recommend them. "

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can build a pergola yourself or with a helper after you obtain any necessary building permits. A pergola can be as simple or complex as you like. Building a pergola is an excellent way to showcase your DIY skills and learn new ones along the way.

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.

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.

If you are installing a fiberglass pool, you may want to install or update your patio or deck at the same time to create a safe, comfortable place to sit and dry off or grab a bite to eat after swimming. You might also consider adding a hot tub to the mix, which costs $6,000 on average.

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.
