"Doesn't return calls or emails and is unprofessional. He removed the tree but was late grinding the stump, which I communicated from the beginning I needed done in order to lay a foundation for my retaining wall. Not only was he late and didn't communicate when he could come back, he didn't grind it deep enough so we had to pay extra for someone else to come out and finish the job. Below are the email communications with dates and times. You can see that from the project start the timeline was in place and Ray knew I needed the stump removed before the retaining wall foundation could be laid. I told him on Wednesday, June 3 that the wall was going to be removed in the next couple of days and asked how much lead time he needed. I got no response. He did not return any of our calls when we were trying to get him to come out and grind the stump. He didn't respond with a date until June 11 and didn't come out until June 14. If he would have told me he couldn't meet my timeline I could have gotten someone else to do it. I had to hire someone else anyway because he couldn't even grind the stump deep enough for my walls foundation, which would have been nice to know before committing to the project. His price is fair, he does quick work, but he is unprofessional in my opinion and it cost us time and money. On May 6, 2020, at 8:45 AM Me: > > When will you be able to take the tree down and how long does it take? I want to get a timeline so I can work with Johnny Sheerer Landscaping on the retaining wall removal. Once he removes the retaining wall, how long will it take you to remove the stump? On Wed, May 6, 2020 at 9:13 AM Ray: > > we can do the tree in the next week or two it will only take one day then when he gets that retaining wall out it will take a few hours to get the stump out. On May 6, 2020, at 10:16 AM Me: > > What do you need to set a firm date on the tree removal? > If the fence is down and the wall is removed, can the machine come in through my property if they decline to give us access? On May 6, 2020, at 7:46 PM Ray: > > I require the estimate to be signed and sent back with a $50.00 deposit. We are going by the weather right now. within the next week or so. Our stump grinder will not hurt the neighbors lawn but I would ask them if we can get in there to grind the stump. We will have to clean up debris from the tree being removed. So let them know we will have to be in the yard. On Wed, Jun 3, 2020 at 10:42 AM Me: > > Thanks again for the tree removal. > Assuming good weather the wall should be removed on Thursday or Friday this week and be out of the way of the tree stump. How much lead time do you need to come back in and grind the stump? On Jun 9, 2020, at 2:51 PM Me: > > My wife left a message with you earlier but I wanted to follow up on our email chain. The wall has been dug up and the guys left you a ramp to the tree stump. Is it possible to get this ground down tomorrow? I know it's short notice but the sooner we get the stump out the sooner they can build the wall. On Jun 9, 2020, at 6:07 PM Ray: > > Hi Nathan, I will try and get there this week.

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

The cost of a pergola varies depending on the style you choose. The average price is between $2,100 and $6,400 for materials and installation. On the low end, a standard pergola will cost between $20 and $55 per square foot, while a retractable pergola will cost between $900 and $3,000 to build. If you plan to build the pergola over a pre-existing deck or patio, that will increase the cost.

Although dependent on the type and size of lumber, most 2-by-4-by-8-foot pieces of lumber cost anywhere from $3 to $6. Softwood lumber like pine falls on the lower end of the spectrum, while hardwood lumber like oak or walnut falls on the higher end. Different retailers and lumber yards can also vary in price, so it helps to shop around to compare prices.

A pergola needs to be anchored, and typically, concrete is the best anchor option. Pergolas should be anchored to a concrete slab or concrete footings, and this is commonly required by municipal building codes. When applying for a permit to install a pergola, be sure to check the anchoring requirements as well.

Turnbuckle weight loads vary depending on their size. Smaller 1/4-inch turnbuckles have a weight capacity of about 500 pounds. A 3/8-inch diameter turnbuckle, which is strong enough to handle most residential fence gates, can handle a working load of 1,200 pounds. Larger 1/2-inch diameter models have a limit of 4,000 pounds.
