"Their team arrived precisely on time, understood what trees needed to be removed, cleaned up after all was done, and another team arrived precisely on time to grind the stumps. When was the last time any service arrived on time as committed? Overall, a great job, that was a fair price. They will have all my business going forward."

"I used this company twice for spring cleanup which was ok (although his prices fluctuated ALOT and seemed to be thought of on the spot). However it was when I hired them to do routine lawn maintenance through the summer it went downhill. During the first service they mowed over my rose bush. During the third service they mowed over the second rose bush. I asked for weed killer during one of the Maintinence visits and they said they applied it but the weeds were back 3 days later. The day I fired them was when I asked them to trim two small shrubs in the front of my house (because they don?t do this during regular maintenance) and they wanted to charge me double what I already paying for lawn Maintinence do trim the bushes. It was wildly overpriced and again it seemed like he just made up a number to see if I?d pay because I?m usually open but I?m not open to being taken advantage of. In the end I ended up with more weeds than I started with, two dead rose bushes. it was not worth it."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

When comparing redwood vs. cedar fences, you’ll typically find a redwood fence costs more to install. The material alone runs from $8 to $20 per linear foot, and labor can cost up to $15 per linear foot, given how complex redwood is to work with. Cedar fences cost between $2 to $4 per linear foot for materials, and labor costs are likely closer to $10 per linear foot. Here are some cedar fence ideas if you’re looking to go the more affordable route.

On average, a prefabricated pergola kit takes one to four hours to build. Prefabricated pergolas are the fastest to install and could save you money, while custom pergolas can take several days to install, ranging from eight to 16 hours. The number of workers on the project can also impact how long it takes to install a pergola. 

If you need to build a concrete slab, level your property, or remove obstacles from your yard before building a pergola, then your project could take several weeks to complete.

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. 

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.
