Q: What other projects should I do at the same time as installing a trellis?

• <div><p>Other projects that you can do at the same time as your trellis include painting the deck , installing a pergola, or adding mulch to your garden beds.</p></div>

Q: What’s the difference between a gazebo and a pergola?

• <div><p>There are a few <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pergola-vs-gazebo.htm">differences between pergolas and gazebos</a>. 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&mdash;though you can purchase an awning to go over your pergola to keep out water.</p></div>

Q: Do pergolas need foundation?

• <div><p>Pergolas have no base structure to hold them up, so it&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: What is the best roof covering for a pergola?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: How high should a pergola be above a fire pit?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Guys are pros and care what they do--constantly standing back and assessing. While here they also pruned two Japanese maples, one of which was more or less hacked by another "well regarded" arborist in town. These guys fixed it. Definitely have the right attitude about trees and the landscape.

Professional, knowledgeable, personal. I knew I needed a tree removed, but I could not attend the initial consultation. The arborist walked around my house with me on the phone from my office, and she told me of any issues she saw (and allayed a few fears I had). They gave me their insurance...

I've used them a number of years for tree service. The key is that they have an arborist who conducts the work so they are not a company who is going to come in and inappropriately prune the trees.
