"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!"

"This was a rental property of mine that had become overgrown. Randy got on it right away. He took before and after shots so I could see what he had done and followed up to make sure I was happy. The price was also reasonable. I was very pleased."

"Bryan came when he said he would to give a free estimate. We were just leaving home when he came to do the work. When we arrived home he had done everything we agreed needed doing and left a invoice for the price we agreed on. Very happy with the work and look foward to having him take care of our yard year round."

Snow Removal questions, answered by experts

Both rock salt and ice melt are naturally occurring salts. Rock salt is sodium chloride, which is the same as table salt. Ice melt products can be made from a combination of salts like magnesium chloride and calcium chloride or can be those salts alone.

Rock salt comes in large crystals, so it helps provide traction on icy surfaces, whereas ice melt products need to be mixed with sand to provide traction. Ice melt products work at lower temperatures than rock salt, so they might be a better choice if you have a harsh winter climate.

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.

It’s possible to use a torch to melt ice on your garage door, but we don’t recommend it. It’s very easy to bring the flame too close to the door, which can melt the weather stripping or even the garage door itself. You’ll melt ice quickly with a torch, but the damage you’re likely to cause can end up costing you a few hundred dollars to fix, which isn’t worth it. Instead, we recommend pouring hot water over the frozen area or using a less intense heat source, like a hair dryer or space heater.

While most people associate defrosting icy roads with salt, you can also use sugar for a similar result. Sugar lowers the freezing point of water, melting ice in a pinch.

However, sugar doesn’t melt ice as well as salt because it doesn’t separate the water molecules as efficiently. So, if you need to quickly melt a stubborn patch of ice on your driveway or walkway, it’s best to use salt over sugar for faster results.

In most cases, it is best to leave icicles on your roof and allow them to melt naturally. You should only consider removing them if they are heavy enough to cause damage to your home or pose a risk to people below. Since removing icicles can be dangerous, it is recommended to hire a professional for the job if you have immediate concerns. To prevent the issue from recurring, you should address the underlying cause, such as improving your home's insulation or installing roof heating coils.
