"Tyler did an excellent job Spring cleaning my landscaping beds! Mulch removal and replacement, cutting pampas grass, trimming bushes and plants. He repaired and replaced broken sprinkler heads as well. He communicated when he would be there and how long the job would take and followed up the day before to confirm. Great job at a fair price! Will definitely be contacting Complete Home Landscaping for future work and projects!"

"When I first contacted solar installers, they asked for two items: address of my property a digital copy of my utility bill From my address they can survey the property using Google Maps. They use the satellite view to assess whether I have enough area on my roof to install an adequate number of solar panels, and whether the roof is unobstructed most of the day (by other buildings, trees, etc). Using my electric bill, they can assess my monthly payment and electricity usage. Once they size a system for me, they can then estimate my monthly savings. If this savings meets or exceeds the payment I will make for financing the solar panels, they consider the project to be economically worthwhile, and move forward with a proposal. Once a proposal was ready a sales rep from our installer visited my home, told us what we could expect and asked us to sign papers. Once signed, they were able to schedule installation, which was completed in under two months. The financing we signed was designed to avoid out-of-pocket costs. Payments were waived for the first three months, anticipating that the solar panels would not be ready before then. We were allowed to hold the full balance for up to 15 months, then the finance company expected a large payment approximately equal to the federal tax credit. Then monthly payments would continue to apply to both interest and principal, with the intent that monthly payments would not exceed the savings in electric power. It was structured as a 15-year loan, although we paid ours in full after 2 years, since the interest rate was fairly high (nearly 6%). On installation day a crew of 4 men arrived with a truck. They prepared my roof for mounting hardware, dug a trench for electrical conduit (needed for DC wiring from my detached garage), mounted the power inverter on the outside wall of my home, installed panels, wired up everything and tested. The whole installation needed about six hours to complete. Post installation, the company scheduled a city inspection. An electrical inspection and building inspection were both needed to verify the installation complied with building codes. The last step was for our electrical company to visit, test the system, install a new power meter, and begin our net metering service. In our state, we are credited for excess power that flows into the grid at the same rate as power we use from the grid. So we pay only for the “net” power we use (this is commonly known as “net metering”). Our monthly utility bill shows our inflow, outflow, how much we pay for our net usage (if any), or if we generate excess power for the month, how much we bank for later use. In the first full year, the system generated about 5,000 kWh of electricity, worth about $750 at typical electrical rates in our region. We paid $20k for the system, of which a third was refunded to us on our federal taxes (applying a credit for new solar generation capacity), so we financed around $13k. It would take 17 years to break even, assuming the system does not lose efficiency. However the solar panels add to the home’s value, so we would probably replace much of our investment if we choose to sell the home in 5–10 years. At our latitude, winter days are short (about 8 hours at the solstice) and the sun is at a lower angle in the sky, limiting daily generation to about 8 kWh when sunny. But in the summer, our days are nearly 16 hours, and we see close to 30 kWh generated on a sunny day. Fortunately peak generation also corresponds to our peak usage (due to air conditioning) so we pay little electricity in summer months. Here is a monthly breakdown I estimated for 2018 based on actual meter readings: In May we had an excess of power (before the days became hot enough for A/C). September was our peak usage. Our electricity costs for the year were under $600. In summary: Was the project a financial slam-dunk? Not really. In the long term it will pay for itself, but the savings are not enormous. Would we do it again? Absolutely, it feels good to have clean, renewable power at home, that we can generate ourselves, and be at least partly free from the electrical grid."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Service costs depend on several factors, including the system's age, type, and size, as well as the complexity of the repair. Labor costs and whether replacement parts are necessary also play a significant role.

It depends on the type of tree. Typically, late spring on the cusp of winter is ideal for trees about to emerge from dormancy and produce new buds. That said, late fall is ideal for certain deciduous trees prone to bleeding sap. Avoid trimming trees in early spring, when they’re prone to disease.

A chainsaw is the best tool to cut down a tree, but you may also use a handsaw or ax. You may also want to use a lopper or pole saw to remove limbs before cutting down the tree. Wear chainsaw chaps and protective gear, including eyewear and earplugs if you use a chainsaw. Again, if you’re unsure about how to use this tool, this project may be one to skip.

You don’t always need a permit to grind a stump, but you might need one depending on your location and the stump’s surroundings. Permits are often needed if the stump is part of a protected tree species, near public areas or utility lines, or close to environmentally sensitive zones like wetlands. Some cities also regulate noise and work hours. Always check local rules before grinding, and contact your city or county office if you're unsure.

Finding a reliable arborist starts with researching specialists in your area and checking their licensing and certifications. Use online resources like the Better Business Bureau (BBB) to conduct research on each company. Next, contact the arborist and ask the following questions to see whether they are the right fit for your project:

  • Do you handle or specialize in dealing with the issue I’m having?

  • Are you fully insured?

  • Do you have customer references I can call?

  • Do you have any third-party certifications?

  • What equipment and strategies do you plan to use?
