Dos Amigos Landscaping & Grounds Management has been in business for 10+ years. We licensed contractor in the State of Virginia. Dos Amigos provides full landscape services to homeowners and commercial customers. Many of our residential customers enjoy annual contracts where Dos Amigos takes care of their lawn/landscape needs for one easy monthly payment.

"Dos Amigos is a strong local business and has provided us with all of our lawn care services for the past 9 months. Mowing (excellent when on the grass, but mowed over set of matched hydrangeas and a complete bed of lavender around a mailbox-twice), blow (excellent), edging (very poor consistency), fertilization (excellent), weed prevention (average to poor, branch and debris removal (poor). Communication appeared to be strong, but there are many layers between the workers and the owner. These layers may explain the $1565 monthly fee they charged. Many salaries, but communication to the ones who actually do the work can sometimes not be as easily communicated, so the return on the fee, we found to be far from worth it. We could recommend them for large commercial projects, but not for homes, particularly homes with gardens in addition to lawns."

"Elder and Alex came by on a Sunday for a free estimate and gave me an excellent price. They cam in on Wednesday morning, took down a 32" walnut that was 15 feet from a fence and 20 feet from my deck. They trimmed another walnut, and branches on a maple that had branches overhanging the house and the electric service. They were on time, and were extremely pleasant and professional in their work. I wanted to save some of the wood to be sawn into lumber, and they cut those pieces exactly as I wanted and put them where they will have easy access for the sawyer. Their cleanup afterward was amazing. I highly recommend Elder and Alex for any of your tree work, and in fact asked for asome business cards to share with friends."

"Justin is terrific! He called in less than 10 minutes after I put in the request, was out to provide an estimate within the hour, and was incredibly kind when I didn't quite have the words to explain what I needed. We hired him and he was there the next day promptly and stayed until the job was done, which took the whole day. He did excellent work fixing the broken pipe and with excavating. The lawn was perfectly level after all the digging, was able to mow the next day without a hiccup. We will be keeping his business card in case of future needs and wholeheartedly recommend him and his quality work!"

I am a one person operation. Having been in the Green Industry for 39 years, I have come to the conclusion that the best way to take care of a client's needs is strictly hands on work. I will occasionally bring in day help. Payment is upon completion unless it is a large project then partial payment at start. I also install vegetable gardens using our own compost mix .

"Couldn’t have hired a more professional or knowledgeable person for the job. I thought I had purchased all the supplies needed for the job but was missing a couple very important items. Mike happened to have them on his trailer and didn’t hesitate to offer them for my lawn. He is a hard worker and knows exactly what he is doing. I recommend him 1000%!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Although dependent on the type and size of lumber, most 2-by-4-by-8-foot pieces of lumber cost anywhere from $3 to $6. Softwood lumber like pine falls on the lower end of the spectrum, while hardwood lumber like oak or walnut falls on the higher end. Different retailers and lumber yards can also vary in price, so it helps to shop around to compare prices.

Rather than using a common two-by-four piece of wood for a rafter, you probably will use two-by-six, two-by-eight, two-by-ten, or even two-by-twelve boards. Wider lumber is typically a better choice in a larger building as it provides more sturdiness. Some installers may use wider lumber for rafters near the edges of the roof, where the greatest stress occurs, and save money with narrower lumber toward the middle.

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.
