"Perez Landscaping, Tree & Painting Services did a fantastic job removing several large trees! They were very professional. They arrived on time and worked extremely hard! The trees were close to the house and a shed. They were very accurate in dropping the large limbs and cutting the trees in sections. After the trees were removed they cleaned up the yard and left it looking better than when they started. I highly recommend Perez Landscaping, Tree & Painting Services!"

"Watkins Landscaping removed a tree from my front yard whose roots were growing wildly underground and pushing against the foundation of my house. The landscaping team was timely and worked professionally throughout the duration of the project. The tree and its roots were removed without issue or complication. They then stabilized and seeded the soil and clean the work area thoroughly. I would definitely hire Watkins Landscaping again."

"I called him on Friday and he came to my house on the following Monday. I showed him what I needed done and he agreed to come back on Thursday to do the work. He was unable to get back on Thursday but he did get there Friday. He did the work that I needed done .I was happy with the work on the trees and he did clean up. I would hire again in needed. His price was good as well as his work.

"James and his crew are so great! They are very quick to respond to questions and did a great job helping us figure out a better drainage system. James even made sure that they started a finished the project before a major rain system happened! Very fair pricing and just a great experience all around! Looking forward to using them again soon!"

Snow Removal questions, answered by experts

The best snow removal tools include a snowblower or a plastic shovel since they're less likely to damage your driveway's surface. Metal shovels can crack asphalt and concrete. It's also a good idea to install driveway markers since they can make it much easier for you to identify where you should shovel without damaging the surrounding yard. 

That depends on the size of your snow blower and how efficiently it uses fuel. Most snow blowers will last between 1 and 2 hours on a full tank of gas. Larger blowers tend to use fuel more quickly and need refilling more often.

Keep in mind, the average snow blowing project for a home driveway takes around 30 minutes. Large driveways and yards will take around an hour. A full tank of gas should be more than enough for snow removal, although the height of the snowfall will have an effect, too.

Some commercial services use sand when clearing ice, but that’s to add instant traction, not to melt the ice. While you can scatter kitty litter, sand, or similar substances on steps, paths, or porches to improve safety during icy conditions, they won’t help melt hardened ice. Rely on salt or other de-icing methods to fully melt away stubborn ice.

You can use hot water to melt ice from your driveway, but there are some serious caveats. Very hot water can quickly melt ice and remove it, which is helpful if you’re very short on time and need a solution ASAP. However, it will only work across a small area, after which there’s a chance the water will freeze again. The sudden clash of temperatures is dangerous for fragile materials, notably windows and other glass, so you’ll want to keep the water away from your car.

It’s the reverse of home de-winterization. To winterize, you purge your plumbing system (including your water heater and all piping) of water. Some experts also recommend filling fixtures with an antifreeze solution. Other tasks involve winterizing sprinklers, sealing foundation vents, check weatherproofing around doors and windows, and more.
