"Landis Bunton, East Coast Tree Service, LLC, arrived at our home, quickly assessed that the 2 dead trees needed to go and a water oak as dying and should be felled. He quoted $1,000, a remarkably low number based on our past experience, and expected he could do the work in 2 weeks. We called him after 5 days as some of our plans had changed and asked whether he could get to the work sooner. He promised a callback and shortly committed to the next day at 8:30am, exceeding our expectations. Next day on time his bucket truck, chipper, tractor and grinder showed up with a crew of 5-6 very professional workmen who got right to work. They felled the water oak with the bucket truck and ropes so that adjacent structures were not damaged while crews dropped the 2 dead oaks. All wood not chipped was cut to fireplace size and the smaller pieces chipped and left for us. I had done some tree trimming and my wife asked if a little more wood could be cut away which they did at no charge. All workmen I talked with were personable and willing to answer my questions. After 3 hours Landis showed to confirm our satisfaction and receive payment. He offered to deliver more wood chips when he was in the area at no charge. Landis runs a very professional operation, and I recommend him highly."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Installation typically takes 2-5 days, depending on the structure size and site preparation.

Wood, vinyl, and metal are common materials. Choose based on durability, aesthetics, and maintenance needs.

Wooden pergolas can last five and 12 years as long as you maintain your pergola. Make sure to clean, stain, and seal wood pergolas every two to three years to protect the wood from insect damage, rot, and decay. 

Vinyl or aluminum pergolas can last a lifetime. The only problems you may encounter with these pergola materials are weather-related—heavy rain storms or snowfalls. Check the stability of your pergola every season. You may need to add new supports or replace broken beams on an as-needed basis.

The best lumber for building will be the strongest and most eco-friendly wood your budget allows. That being said, Douglas fir, pine, oak, and maple are all common building materials. Contractors will use a strong, inexpensive wood to frame a house or other structure and finer woods like mahogany for detail work. 

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.

By submitting this question, I acknowledge and agree that Angi may publicly display my name, city, state, and question on the website for professionals and others to see.
