"We looked at tree removal/trimming in 2024. Jonathan with Safe Choice was one of the companies we called for an estimate. We were impressed with Jonathan's knowledge, professionalism, and personable demeanor. 2025, one of our large oaks died. So, now is the time. Called and scheduled an estimate w/Safe Choice. Estimate was w/Mitch, who was prompt and courteous, told us that beetles were the culprit on the dead oak. We received/accepted a fair price estimate via email. The crew started at 9am. They removed 3 large oaks and trimmed the other 7 oaks, an all day job! The crew was amazing, Jonathan, Mitch, and 5 young men. All very hard working, extremely safe, polite, and with great attitudes! They looked out for each other and did their jobs with top notch skill and professionalism! They checked their work and cleaned up. We are very impressed with Safe Choice Tree Service and everyone there! Start to finish...5 days including 1 work day. Great Company! Great People! "

"We hired Jireh to remove 10 very large trees in our backyard and replace with new grass, rerout our drainage system in the yard, lay gravel around our above ground pool, and a few other small landscaping fixes. We were told the job would take 3 days, and they did not disappoint! Despite us adding a few things here and there, they were able to complete the entire project in 3 days. The team of employees they have is very numerous, so they are able to complete large projects in a timely manner. They were all very kind and respectful. Our backyard looks spectacular and we couldn't be happier! Pricing was very fair. The owner, Edvin, is clearly very knowledgeable and would consistently communicate with us on a daily basis regarding the status of the job. We recommend Jireh for all who need similar services! They do a lot more things that can be found on their website."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

It’s best to opt for a lightweight roof, as a heavy roof adds a lot of weight and pressure to the support posts and hardware and destabilizes the structure. Vinyl is a good, lightweight option, as is a nice open trellis, louvered aluminum or vinyl slats, or fabric panels. Clear polycarbonate is another great option that offers seamless shelter and additional UV protection without completely obscuring the sunshine. You can also choose retractable coverings or an awning that you only use in wet weather or when you need additional shade.

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.

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.

The average cost to build a pergola ranges from $2,200 to $6,400, whereas the average cost of an awning ranges from $1,400 to $4,400, meaning that an awning tends to be less expensive to build or install than a pergola. Ultimately, the less expensive option depends on a few factors, including size, quality of materials used, and location.

While your municipality may have its own regulations requiring pergolas or other structures to be a certain height above a fire pit, the standard recommendation is that the pergola should be at least 10 feet above the fire pit. A taller pergola allows the heat from the flames to dissipate before reaching the structure.
