"Beautiful Country did an incredible job removing our tree! We had an 80 foot maple in our backyard (very close to our house and fence) and the crew was able to remove it flawlessly. Not only were they incredibly fast in the removal process, they did a great clean up job, were very professional and were by and far the lowest quote we received when looking for companies. We were nervous hiring a company just based on the size and location of the tree but made the absolute best choice with Beautiful Country!! Definitely would recommend and hire again."

"They did a fantastic job elevating and trimming 2 large trees and removing 2 other trees that were dying (including grinding the stump). They also trimmed the branches behind my house so that the grass in my back yard can start growing again. I was charged a fair price in comparison to other companies I found outside of Angis list. They were professional, punctual, friendly, cleaned up afterwards and the yard looks so much better due to their work. I am grateful!"

Bob Lester Jr Tree Service Inc is your trusted choice for tree service in Baltimore. With our licensed and insured team, we prioritize your safety and satisfaction. Call today for professional and reliable service.

"Bob came and explained in great detail how the work would be performed by qualified workers. They were to take down two trees, trim dead wood from others and leave the limb wood for me to split and burn. The only thing the left me was three severely damaged shrubs, deep divots in the yard, and a torn screen on my window. Various voice mails and texts from Bob who said he would get me wood and fix the divots. None of that happened and no one from the company will respond to emails, texts, or phone calls."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Trellises offer versatility beyond just attaching to a fence because they provide privacy and shade. They can serve as standalone features in your garden or deck or as panel screens in pergolas. Plus, you can find trellises in various design options, including diamond-shaped or checker patterns, making working with trellises very creative and fun.

A concrete base—or concrete footings, more specifically—is necessary for a freestanding pergola build. A pergola is top-heavy and can’t stand on its own, so it will always need some type of base or support. If you’re attaching a pergola to a deck, the deck’s supportive joists will act as the support, so there will be no concrete base or footings necessary.

Clean regularly, treat wood for weather resistance, and inspect for damage to ensure longevity.

Though this is a project that can be DIY-ed—there are kits available for $600 to $7,500—hiring a pergola pro will ensure the final product is structurally sound. A savvy homeowner may already have all the necessary tools and know-how to build a DIY pergola, but the difference in cost isn’t that much, and having help will make the process easier in general.

For optimal sun exposure, strategically place your trellises along the northern boundary of your garden bed or adjacent to a fence or wall. Conversely, consider situating the trellises on the southern side in sun-drenched locales to create soothing shade for heat-sensitive plants, effectively screening and sheltering them from the scorching summer sun.
