One of the most distinctive features of any landscape is the trees. These majestic examples of nature’s beauty add a unique energy and refreshing vitality to their surroundings. But if you have trees, you need proven professionals who know how to treat them right if you’re going to maximize their beauty and attractiveness. With 21 years of experience, Precision Tree Care is insured and will give you a very professional job!

"Excellent work overall. The difference with this company is the impressive clean-up. For example, we had a large maple with a significant number of large surface roots which were all removed/ground down and there is now minimal work we will have to do to plant grass. We have used other companies in the past where we have had to haul away the wood chips and bring in fill dirt, requiring the investment of extra time and money. Price was fair for work done. Would highly recommend."

"Did a roof patch job which wasn?t properly finished my roof ended up still leaking and he refused to fix it and told me to stop contacting him. I would get off work at five and I have a lot of stuff to do and end up having to text him about his work later in the night 8-10ish and he would get upset about me texting him ?? during inappropriate hours affecting his relationship with his girlfriend.. furthermore, he used this as an excuse to get out of the two unfinished jobs he had he told me that my washer pipe was producing gases from the pipe, but it was really just my dryer?s gasoline leaking. So charge me on a plumbing job that didn?t need to be done. Unless other jobs unfinished where I had to hire a licensed person to do."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Pergolas have no base structure to hold them up, so it’s necessary to attach them to some type of foundation. Most pergolas require a minimum of at least four concrete footings to keep them solid and stable in the ground. Attaching the pergola to a concrete foundation is an option as well.

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.

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.

There are many materials to choose from, including picket fencing, wood slats, galvanized metal skirting, dog-ear fence panels, scallop wood fence panels, bamboo screens, and other decorative screens. You can search for materials at local big box stores like Home Depot or scour online home improvement sites. Good search terms to use are fencing, skirting, and privacy panels.

DIY is possible for basic designs. Professional installation ensures stability and compliance with building codes.
