"I hired them to remove a tree stump. They worked with me during several snowstorms to reschedule a time and date that worked for me. They showed up ahead of time with a notice that they would and did a wonderful job for me. I recommend them for tree work"

"Quality work on the areas they serviced, but they didn?t mow half of the backyard. After reaching out, I was told it may cost extra?even though they had already quoted me after seeing the property. They also mentioned prices might go up in the future, which felt misleading. Regarding pricing, there wasn't full transparency, and they leave room for hidden fees/upcharges."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

A cross brace for a fence gate should stretch from the top corner of the gate’s hinge side to the bottom corner of its latch side at a 45-degree angle to the bottom of the gate. This positioning distributes the bulk of the gate’s weight to the base of the post, taking pressure off the top hinge.

There are many materials to choose from, including picket fencing, wood slats, galvanized metal skirting, dog-ear fence panels, scallop wood fence panels, bamboo screens, and other decorative screens. You can search for materials at local big box stores like Home Depot or scour online home improvement sites. Good search terms to use are fencing, skirting, and privacy panels.

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

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.
