"Jon Davis offered very competitive pricing including premium irrigation installation (i.e, 1-inch PVC main line installed at 18-inch depth, as well as the equipment (i.e., Hunter Pro-C controller and Hunter heads/nozzles including latest technology such as Hunter's "Soil-Clik" soil moisture system. Jon was very knowledgeable about the irrigation system and design ensuring our entire lawn was fully covered and properly zoned so the water pressure and coverage was optimal. He even added a separate zone to fill our garden/fish pond. Jon was personally on-site almost daily overseeing his team of installers until the job was completed. He is very honest and delivers what he promises. Jon's success is apparent as his team has a very full workload and high demand of requests so anticipate adequate lead time for your project. We would definitely use Emerald Lawn & Landscaping again for future projects."

"I called Ares Construction after 2 other Appliance Repair companies fell through. Justin called me the same day and tried his best to make it out the same day to repair my refrigerator. He communicated through out the day to let me know of his schedule. He could not come the same day but he was out the next morning. He showed up on time, called prior to his arrival, and quickly diagnosed and repaired the problem with my refrigerator. Its hard to find reliable contractors in this area. Now that I have found one I will send as much work as I can to him. Thank you Justin for all your help."

Holiday Decorating questions, answered by experts

It’s unnecessary to tip holiday decorators, and most professionals won’t expect it, but it’s a nice gesture to show your appreciation for their work. If the expert goes above and beyond to keep your delicate decorations safe, or they’re hanging your exterior lights and putting out lawn decorations in freezing temperatures or inclement weather, a tip between 10% and 20% of your total will be appreciated. Large jobs that include interior and exterior work are also good opportunities to tip, especially if your expert is performing a rush job close to the holidays.

Christmas lights typically do not need to be grounded like electrical circuits in your home do. However, it's crucial to use outdoor outlets equipped with ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) for added safety. GFCIs can help protect against electrical shocks and are recommended for outdoor electrical connections when using Christmas lights.

Nails are a popular choice for hanging string lights, but they are not the only option. Use outdoor hooks, zip ties, or even awning hangers to string up lights outdoors. For indoor lights, use simple tacks, zip ties, damage-free adhesive hooks, or drawing pins. When all else fails, just wrap the lights around some furniture or outdoor fixtures. 

The simplest way to put Christmas lights on any metal surface is by using a magnetic hook or clip. You can also purchase magnetic lights, which should easily stick to any magnetic surface. Keep in mind that not all metals are magnetic. In that case, you’ll need to use a different clip.

It's safe to hang Christmas lights from gutters with a few considerations. First, when installing the lights, follow safe ladder-use guidelines and avoid getting onto the roof. Second, for best results and the integrity of your lights, use clips to keep the bulbs away from inside the gutters where they could run into trouble with water or ice.
