Taxidermy recs Houston

Need a floor pedestal made for a kudu, any recs?

Kudu is already done, just need the pedestal.

I've had good luck with these Maybe overkill for mounts but they have different sizes and they hold great


That's exactly what I'm currently looking at, holding 265 pounds on just drywall seems crazy but if they work as advertised that'd be more than enough.

Drywall anchor for Taxidermy mounts

What kind of heavy duty drywall anchor do ya'll use to hang a mount that isn't on a stud?
I use Brave so I don't see any ads at all.
Geez, won’t allow pavers? You live in the 1940s era Soviet Union?
Do you have a proper natural edge? I have mine like the below and rarely get anything growing over that a weekly weed eater pass doesn't take care of.

Sagesure writes a number of different products, some admitted and some not.

You'd need to confirm which of their products you are with before even worrying about it.

Alaskan Weeping Cedar alternative

I'm a fan of the look of this tree and it would be the perfect size for the spot I would like it in 30ft tall and 20 ft wide.

Unfortunately doesn't look like it does well in my climate (Texas). Is anyone familiar with something similar in look and size that I should take a look at?
For this particular application I am just playing one, so not a hedge.

Planting it as a focal point tree somewhat close to my house and was trying to get an eye on a full grown one instead of the fairly small hedge style that they're used for most.

I may get some for the "hedge" purpose in my backyard but pictures of that are easy to find.

Full sized Eagleston Holly tree

Does anyone have any full grown eagleston holly trees in their landscaping or on their property?

Anyone have any pictures of full grown eagleston hollys in their landscaping or around their house?

I'm trying to decide if I want one in a particular area but as far as I can find there are no pictures of full grown ones, at least not in an actual landscape or around a real home that shows them to scale. All I can find is stock pictures of them fairly small.
