WE DO NOT OFFER STUMP GRINDING, TREE TRIMMING, TREE CUTTING, TREE REMOVAL. WE ONLY TREAT TREES. I'm a Tree doctor, I have numberous years of experience in treating trees. I'm licensed as a commerical applicator and have an I.S.A. certified arborist on staff. What sets our company apart is that we have the expertise and qualifications necessary to SAVE your trees and shrubs from problems with insects, fungus and disease - where other companies will simply take the tree down and replace it. Why pay twice to have a tree taken down and replanted when you can have B & W Insect Control & Tree Care TREAT your tree? I've been doing this since 1995 and stand behind my work and my love for tree and shrub care. I can also treat your yard for problems with mosquitoes, grasshoppers and more to ensure that they can not harm your trees and shrubs. If you have any questions or interest, you can also contact 214-900-4062. I accept all major credit cards. Award winning. A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau.

"Arrived & told me that trees were in peril & needed treatment. Since they were so big I couldn’t afford to not believe him. Another tree service said it was not an emergency situation. I should have waited. I don’t have the kind of money he charged me. I should have known better."

"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. Steven’s flexible creativity, like that of an observant and situationally responsive artist, developed the project to its neat, colorful, and pleasant completion. I highly recommend the skilled workmanship of Steven and his crew."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Pergolas have no base structure to hold them up, so it’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.

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.

Consider the height of the plants you plan on using with the trellis, as they will need the right amount of support to grow.

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.

Pergolas may have a 50% to 80% return on investment, whether they’re standard, manual, motorized, or smart pergolas. Your pergola will add more value when you choose a structure made from durable, long-lasting materials and when the pergola is properly installed by a professional. Extra features like a motorized roof, smart louvers, and heaters or misters may give you a better ROI.
