"We had Davidson Lawn Care install our Christmas lights this year, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. Their communication throughout the process was clear and consistent—they kept us updated on scheduling and answered all of our questions promptly. We were impressed by how quickly they got us on the calendar. The lights are perfectly symmetrical, evenly spaced, and securely fastened. They paid attention to details like clean corners, straight lines along the roofline, and balanced placement around windows and landscaping. Everything looks professional and well thought out, with no dangling cords or uneven sections."

"Ben and his crew did a spectacular job of transforming our side garden from a weed infested train wreck to an absolute beauty spot. His estimate was spot on, he arrived when he said he would and got the project done earlier than anticipated. He and his workers were unfailingly quiet and polite. This is one of the best experiences we have ever had with a household project. Hire him! You won't be sorry!"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

In some states and municipalities, you will need a permit to remove a tree on your property. In many cases where permits are required, a tree must reach a maximum height before a permit is required to remove it. You can either ask your local building department or a tree removal professional if you’ll need a permit. If you do, you can expect to pay between $50 and $150 for the permit alone. Your tree removal company should pull the permit for you and include the permit fee in your total.

Pruning trees during the summer can be a bad idea because the new growth will take place during the hottest months of the year, which can stress your tree out. Similarly, pruning during the early fall can be a bad idea, too, because you’d be stimulating new growth when most trees are aiming to go dormant. 

Pruning recommendations will vary by the type of tree, but generally, waiting until winter to prune your trees is a good idea.

You will know that an oak tree needs to be removed when you see vertical cracks or dead branch stubs, which indicate internal decay. Other signs include trunk rot near the base of the tree and sprouts or small branches coming from the trunk.

The ideal time to prune a tree depends on the type of tree. Typically, late winter or early spring is a good time to prune but isn't always the case for "towering trees." It's best to trim when trees are dormant and before blooms appear but can vary depending on the tree type. It's always best to research the type of tree or ask a professional tree trimmer to determine when is the perfect time to prune your tree.

Trees provide many benefits, including shade, habitat for local wildlife, and cleaner air, so it’s always a good idea to try an alternative strategy like crown reduction before you chop one down. But sometimes, cutting down a tree is the only option (like if it’s severely diseased). A licensed arborist can assess the tree and recommend the best course of action.
