"Stephen gave a fair quote and did the job the same week: a 10 yr old pine badly beetle infested. It was growing in a very tight space by a 6’ fence in a very small backyard. He climbed up and carefully bruit down in sections. Well done. Then loaded all branches and trunk pieces, cleaned up the pine straw and even replaced the patio table and chairs that had been under the pine. Considerate and skilled. Thank you!"

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 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.

Other projects that you can do at the same time as your trellis include painting the deck , installing a pergola, or adding mulch to your garden beds.

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.

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