" Recently hired High-Line Tree Service to remove two massive, hard-to-reach trees from my property—and I couldn’t be more impressed. From start to finish, their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly skilled. These weren’t easy trees to take down, but they handled the job with precision and care, making a tough task look effortless. What really stood out was the cleanup. They left the area spotless—no stray branches, no sawdust trails, just a clean, clear space where two giants once stood. Their pricing was more than fair, especially considering the complexity of the job, and every crew member I interacted with was friendly, respectful, and clearly committed to doing great work. If you’re looking for a tree service that combines expertise with excellent customer care, High-Line Tree Service is the one to call. Highly recommended!"

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.

Trellises offer versatility beyond just attaching to a fence because they provide privacy and shade. They can serve as standalone features in your garden or deck or as panel screens in pergolas. Plus, you can find trellises in various design options, including diamond-shaped or checker patterns, making working with trellises very creative and fun.

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.

Your fence post holes should be about three times as wide as the post. So if your post is 4-by-4 inches, you should make your hole at least 12 inches wide. The depth of the hole depends on the height of your post, but it should be as deep as one-third of the post height.

For optimal sun exposure, strategically place your trellises along the northern boundary of your garden bed or adjacent to a fence or wall. Conversely, consider situating the trellises on the southern side in sun-drenched locales to create soothing shade for heat-sensitive plants, effectively screening and sheltering them from the scorching summer sun.
