"I was amazed with Myers tree service. I had about 8 trees removed all within 6 hours. They were very careful around my fence and sun room. The price was great and very affordable. I would call them again and highly recommend them. They went above and beyond my expectations. Thank you again for your hard work and quality service."

"Missed several corner spots for some reason and did not just mow over a few scattered leaves? I suspect the REASON WHY we did not get "Star Treatment" it's all good though. 👍 I ain't scared. 1 star like you gave us. We don't rake bud. We just mow over them. Those leaves were barely there you could have just mowed over them instead of leaving our yard looking like we didn't just pay somebody."

"Thomas and his crew actually were able to come in just a few days after coming to look over our project. Very knowledgeable and professional. Advised us of which trees would need to come down and how they would take care of them. They chipped all the smaller trees and branches and stacked up the ones to be used as firewood all in a designated area. His crew cleaned up and were very polite and professional. They did everything with safety and our structures in mind. I will use them again if and when needed."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

Typical pergola kits include four support columns, several rafters, top runners, support beams, and a base for bolting the structure to a concrete surface. The types of pergolas vary by manufacturer and feature. Some have only two support columns, with the rest of the structure leaning against a carport or patio. Others have retractable shade canopies to keep cool in the summer. 

Though this is a project that can be DIY-ed—there are kits available for $600 to $7,500—hiring a pergola pro will ensure the final product is structurally sound. A savvy homeowner may already have all the necessary tools and know-how to build a DIY pergola, but the difference in cost isn’t that much, and having help will make the process easier in general.
