Do palm trees require a lot of maintenance?

• <div><p>In most ways, palm trees are incredibly low-maintenance. They don’t need a ton of water—which is why they’re so beloved in desert regions—and they basically prune themselves. But they do need an ample supply of sunlight and to be in soil that will allow for proper drainage so that their roots don’t become waterlogged and at risk of developing illnesses.</p><p>If the plant begins to wilt, develop spots, or change color, these could all be signs that your palm tree has a disease. But a few basic treatments, like pruning and applying fungicide, will usually be more than enough to return it to perfect health.</p></div>

How much do trees cost?

• <div><p>The cost of trees varies massively based on the size of the tree and the species. A small Colorado spruce can cost as little as <b>$30</b>, but a golden rain tree of the same size can cost <b>$90</b>. Large trees can cost <b>$1,500</b> or more, depending on their species and height.</p></div>

Q: Can I cut trees from my neighbor’s yard if they’re on my property?

• <div><p>Generally, if your neighbor&rsquo;s tree hangs over your yard, you can legally trim overhanging branches. Keep in mind that you cannot cross your property line to cut the trees, and if you damage the tree by trimming it, your neighbor could sue you. Depending on the type of tree and value, this could mean dishing out two to three times the value of the tree.</p><p>It&rsquo;s worth noting that the specifics of this type of tree maintenance and the guidelines around it may vary by location. Do your research and, most importantly, consult with your neighbor.</p></div>

Q: How long does a bird's nest last?

• <div><p>The lifespan of a bird's nest depends on the species. The building process can take from two days to three weeks. Once built, the nesting period for baby birds can last from two to ten weeks before they leave the nest. While most young birds are ready in two to six weeks, some predatory species may need up to two and a half months. Some species nest four to five times per year, so a nest could remain in use for several months. For specific information about a particular nest's longevity, it is best to consult a wildlife professional.</p></div>

Q: How can I ask my neighbor to cut their tree?

• <div><p>Ideally, you&rsquo;ll have a good enough relationship with your neighbors that you can kindly mention this task in regular conversation. However, every neighbor (and neighborhood) is different. Your best bet will always be to ask directly and nicely, offering to contribute to the tree trimming efforts if you&rsquo;d like. However, if you are bothered by the tree and your neighbor is unwilling to cut it, you can involve the help of the homeowners&rsquo; association or local authorities, if applicable.</p></div>

It went well. I was surprised how quickly my TV was repaired. I was able to pay over the phone. The cost was reasonable considering how big the TV is. The employees helped me take the TV down from my vehicle and we received courteous service. Again, Thank you!! <br />

"Jose was very pleasant and made an excellent offer. I was seriously considering hiring him. A family friend owns a tree service and is normally much more expensive, but because he knows us, he offered to do the same work at the same price as Jose. That is the only reason why I did not hire Jose. I plan to contact him in the future for some landscaping work."

"His price was very reasonable. However, he did not finish the job to my satisfaction. I need the tree trimmed off of the house next door and he was unable to do this due to the lack of equipment. He only had a small tree saw and a 5 ft ladder. He was unable to reach the higher branches. I had to buy an extended trimmer to finish the job."
