"Ricky and his crew removed approximately 26 large trees from my property a couple where 80 ft tall and one with a 7-8 ft diameter trunk. Many were close to my home or other outbuildings. They worked so hard!!! I was amazed at the efficiency with which they tackled this enormous job. They completed this in two long days with minimal breaks in the heat and humidity. They ground all the stumps and raked and picked up every bit of the mess. I will hire them again without hesitation!!! Fair price, communicated well and worked so hard! "

"Craig’s landscaping is a top notch landscaping company. I have relatives who use them and have had excellent results so I decided to take a look for several projects I have around the house. I was pleasantly surprised at the capabilities and price. I have a 2 + acre property that needed extensive weeding, trimming, mulching and plant removal. The price quoted was very reasonable and the turn around time was even more of a surprise. The team arrived on time and went to work. I am typically hands on as projects take place but found I never once had to intervene. The team did a fabulous job in all facets of the project and accomplished all tasks in a professional and timely manner. The end result was 100% perfection. They took my landscape to the next level. I went one step further and hired them to cut and trim the yard. Again, perfection at all levels from cutting and trimming and the time it took to complete the tasks. I give them my highest recommendation."

We will beat any legitimate companies(have ins and License for state working in) price. Brian Cooper, owner of Treescape Services, has worked in the tree care industry for 39 years. Here at Treescape Services, we prides ourselves on our workmanship in the tree and workmanship of our ground crew and clean up detail. We strive for quality customer service and satisfaction.

"Brian and the guys were at our house yesterday to top and prune 5 trees and remove another. First, they arrived in the 1-hour window of time that I was given, which is unheard of, especially since ours was their 3rd job of the day. Brian has a wonderful easy-going personality and didn't try to rush us into making quick decisions when some questions arose about the extent of pruning for a few of the trees. He discussed each tree with me before any work was started and gave me insight on what was best for the health of each. The whole team was pleasant, efficient, and did a fabulous job!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

Both cedar and redwood are some of the best woods for pergolas. Both are rot- and insect-resistant and have gorgeous natural tones that age well. Redwood tends to have a longer life span than cedar, but it also comes at a higher cost. While both options are durable, the best wood between these two for your pergola will primarily depend on your budget.

Turnbuckle weight loads vary depending on their size. Smaller 1/4-inch turnbuckles have a weight capacity of about 500 pounds. A 3/8-inch diameter turnbuckle, which is strong enough to handle most residential fence gates, can handle a working load of 1,200 pounds. Larger 1/2-inch diameter models have a limit of 4,000 pounds.

Clean regularly, treat wood for weather resistance, and inspect for damage to ensure longevity.

Wooden pergolas can last five and 12 years as long as you maintain your pergola. Make sure to clean, stain, and seal wood pergolas every two to three years to protect the wood from insect damage, rot, and decay. 

Vinyl or aluminum pergolas can last a lifetime. The only problems you may encounter with these pergola materials are weather-related—heavy rain storms or snowfalls. Check the stability of your pergola every season. You may need to add new supports or replace broken beams on an as-needed basis.
