"Steven carefully considered my wants and needs, and worked thoughtfully with me to renovate my entire front, side, and backyard at the most competitive price. He weighed and judged the best solutions for the proper replacements by new plants and several design features to create a beautiful, well-coordinated natural environment. Rock edging of several landscape beds and sprinkler system improvements were made. The hard-working crew was professional and efficient.

I highly recommend the skilled workmanship of Steven and his crew."

"10/10 stars! I was completely blown away from the night and day difference on my live oaks and water oaks. The canopy is lifted and I have more sunlight coming through, which gives my home a much BETTER curb appeal. Tony, the owner, was FABULOUS to work with. He was on site project managing and directing/ supporting his team. They worked quickly and efficiently. The pricing was EXTREMELY competitive, and I'm happy and confident that they 100% earned my business FOR LIFE. If you're wanting your trees cut, LOOK NO FURTHER."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Yes, it’s definitely possible to build a pergola on an existing deck. All you need to do is attach the pergola support beams to the deck’s joists and build up from there. Beware that mistakes can damage your deck, so if you’re at all unsure of the process, play it safe and hire a pro for your custom build.

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.

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.

Pressure-treated wood is a classic and budget-friendly choice for building a pergola. If you’re going for a more natural look, opt for hardwoods such as redwood and cedar. These naturally resist insects and rot, plus they have stunning color and texture on their own, so you’ll be able to skip stains and paints.

Not only does adding a pergola to your landscaping add value to your home, but it also provides an excellent selling point to potential buyers who enjoy outdoor living.
