Highline Crane and 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.

" Recently hired High-Line Tree Service to remove two massive, hard-to-reach trees from my property—and I couldn’t be more impressed. From start to finish, their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly skilled. These weren’t easy trees to take down, but they handled the job with precision and care, making a tough task look effortless. What really stood out was the cleanup. They left the area spotless—no stray branches, no sawdust trails, just a clean, clear space where two giants once stood. Their pricing was more than fair, especially considering the complexity of the job, and every crew member I interacted with was friendly, respectful, and clearly committed to doing great work. If you’re looking for a tree service that combines expertise with excellent customer care, High-Line Tree Service is the one to call. Highly recommended!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

There are a few differences between pergolas and gazebos. Both structures provide shade, but pergolas are more minimalistic, with four posts and a terraced roof. Gazebos usually have an elevated floor and are typically shaped like a polygon with six or eight open-air sides and two small sets of steps leading up to the platform. Gazebos also tend to have pointed, shingled roofs and ornate accents. If you want a structure that keeps out water on rainy days, a gazebo may be a better option—though you can purchase an awning to go over your pergola to keep out water.

Building a pergola yourself costs less than hiring someone to do it for two reasons. First, a contractor will charge a markup on the materials. Second, you’ll save the entire cost of labor. In exchange for the money you save, you’ll need to dedicate at least one full weekend to the project.

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.

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.
