"The deal I purchased through Angie's list was I believe $1700(?) for a crew for a day. After looking around David realized it would be 2 days. David, Miguel and crew removed 5 or 6 large oaks, a diseased hickory, and many smaller scrubby trees. They ground stumps and cut all the wood in fireplace lengths for us to split later- as I requested. Because he didn't have to haul all the wood away or split it, I was able to have more trees taken down. The crew was fast, efficient and Miguel is amazing in the treetops. This was in 2015 and my barren shady yard is now sunny and grassy."

Acclaim Services was founded in 1999 by Mark & Teresa Harris, after many years of working for others in the industry. Teresa worked with a local gardening company for several years, maintaining gardens in Farmington, Keswick and Albemarle county. Mark began doing lawn care in his teens, worked with mixing & applying fertilizers and nutrients at a farm store, spent several years as the sells & service manager for a Lawn Doctor of Chesterfield and worked for Lawn Doctor of Charlottesville. Mark & Teresa have taken classes through The Virginia Tech. Extension Service and local nurseries. Mark has taken classes and been certified through Virginia Tech and their Master Gardener programs, Virginia Turfgrass Council, Lawn Doctor University, Toro University, Rainbird Irrigation, Techo Block wall systems, Belgard Stone, Easyturf artificial turf and Cast low voltage lighting. We have been designing, installing and maintaining landscapes, lawns, Hardscapes, landscape lighting, water features and irrigation systems since 1999. We have been the landscape contractor for The Colonnades Senior Living Community, in Charlottesville, since 1999. Call us today for a free estimate.

"After another patch of poor weather and another visit by Miss Utility, the project got started in late October with Mark supervising all the work. After locating the irrigation lines, the excavator got started right away. This person was a highly qualified professional and his work with the machinery was outstanding. About halfway down the driveway they identified the power and cable lines and expertly navigated around them. The two other crew members worked along the excavator pulling up rocks, cutting roots, and removing other debris. The excavating was done in the morning and in the afternoon the crew lined the ditch with fabric. Next, they began to carefully place the larger rocks into the ditch on top of the fabric. Each large rock was meticulously placed by hand in the ditch, very similar to putting a jigsaw puzzle together. This took a couple of days to complete. Once this was done another layer of smaller stones were distributed between the spaces between the large rocks. When this was done, the area was completely cleaned up. A pile of large rocks were left for us to use around the rest of the yard. It was an amazing job and we are very pleased by how attractive it is. All the employees were courteous and hard working. It was a very professionally done job by everyone involved and they answered all our questions along the way. We had requested quotes from two other local companies that we never heard from again after leaving numerous messages with their answering services. We were very impressed with the prompt and courteous approach from Mark and his company down to his work crews. We would highly recommend Acclaim Services for your landscaping needs."

"My wife called to have get a quote for a minor leak in our roof. We never ended up scheduling an appointment because we decided to go with another roofing company. A week ago we received an invoice in the mail telling us to pay $182 because a guy came over and apparently did the work without our consent or approval. He charged us that amount of money to reset a nail which wasn't even the cause of the leak. It turns out after having someone from another roofing company actually come inspect the attic that that we need to have a pipe boot replaced. I tried calling to ask about this but I keep getting told the guy I need to speak with isn't there. I wouldn't recommend this company they seem to do shady business."

Roof Ice and Snow Removal questions, answered by experts

A common mistake is you can let snow melt naturally in a window well. However, snow buildup in the well can damage your window frames and walls. The melting snow also poses risks of water damage as it may leak through into the basement. It’s important to shovel snow out of your window wells before too much snow is piled in there.

The easiest way to remove snow from a roof involves using a roof rake that allows you to clear snow from the ground. Roof rakes are lightweight and feature adjustable handles, making them user-friendly for most people. This method also helps prevent ice dams and excess snow buildup, reducing the risk of roof damage during winter months.

When should you remove snow from your roof? A good rule of thumb is once six inches of snow accumulates. 

You may be wondering if you really need the snow removed from your roof. Since most roofs can only handle 20 pounds per square foot of snow accumulation, there is a tipping point when you are suddenly at risk of roof collapse. This can cause a lot of damage, not just to your home, but to your belongings, too. It also poses a physical danger to your family. Also, a lot of snow on a roof makes it more susceptible to ice dams, leaks, and water damage.

If you’re looking at how to remove snow from solar panels, heat from the sun usually melts the snow within a few days. However, snow removal might be necessary for winter solar power production in areas with deep snow during the winter. There are brushes with telescoping handles and gentle heads to brush away snow. It’s best to stay on the ground if possible and avoid using tools that could scratch the surface of the solar panels, like a snow shovel or broom.

Generally, snow removal from a roof should occur once over six inches of snow accumulates, especially if you notice that ice dams have formed. Without ice dams, you can let the snow accumulation hit 12 inches before removing it. However, the amount of snow that is too much for your roof also depends on the sturdiness of your roof and the compactness of the snow. If your roof needs maintenance or has structural issues, it’s best not to let the snow accumulate too much for fear of collapsing.
