If your front yard doesnt have walls, fences or mature plantings for privacy, its natural to feel a little on display for the neighborhood if youre sitting outside. Adding a pergola to cover a front yard seating area and surrounding it with a mix of shrubs and small-scale trees can help an area feel private but still friendly.

Buying Cheap Materials Inaccurate Measurements

Nancy Soriano, former editor in chief of Country Living magazine says, "I can't emphasize enough how an inch or even sometimes a half an inch can make a difference. And if your dimensions are off and it's not equal and symmetrical, you're not going to get the full impact and effect that you want. If you're not sure about how to measure or you can't follow the directions, don't hesitate at all to call somebody. Ask them to come over and take the measurement for you."

"Make sure you're looking at the entire floor plan of your home when you're planning your doorways. Look for, and make sure that every room has multiple exits. Or, if those doorways are in high-traffic areas, make sure they're wide enough to let multiple people pass through," Carey says.

"I think it's really important to anticipate the time and the pacing of your renovation," notes Nancy. "You probably want to do that up front, get it over with and then you can slowly start to piece your life and your home back together."

"When you're renovating, bigger is always better when it comes to hallways and stairs," Jim says.

"I think people sometimes forget about electric when they've been renovating because it's costly and it's hidden," Nancy says. "You want to walk through the house with the electrician before you start to talk about outlets, where they are, where you want new outlets, three-prong outlets. You want to make sure everything's up to code."

"You bought that Spanish home or that Craftsman home for a reason, because you liked that style. So keep your new design, your new build projects within that style," Steve insists.

The bottom line is "if you do perform work without a permit and something serious happens, your homeowner's insurance will not cover it," says Marc.

"The biggest mistake people make when they're trying to figure what the payback is going to be is they overbuild for their neighborhood," says Jimmy. "They have a $100,000 house and they put a $100,000 addition on it, so now they have a $200,000 house in a $100,000 neighborhood."

Home Renovation Ideas & Mistakes to Avoid | HGTV

Tree Removal Cost

The average homeowner will pay between $75 and $1,500 to have a tree removed. The national average cost is $650. There are four main factors that will affect the cost of your tree removal: the size (height) of the tree, its condition, diameter and location.

Trees can beautify a yard or a whole neighborhood, but from time to time and for various reasons they might need to be cut down. How much it costs varies according to many factors including the size and condition of the tree and the complexity of the job. As a result, there is no quick answer for how much it will cost. There are, however, guidelines you can use to get an idea of how much you can expect to pay for tree removal from your property.

Many tree removal companies charge a fee per foot of height. On average, small trees are 30' tall or less. Medium trees are between 30' and 60'. Large trees stand 60' to 80' tall. Very tall trees are 80' or taller. Most tree removal services use these size ranges as guidelines for charging.

The condition of a tree can affect the cost of removal. Trees in dangerous condition are often inspected by an arborist, a person with special training in the health and care of trees, shrubs, and other woody plants. A tree that seems to be leaning dangerously should be inspected before removal to determine how it should be cut down. Among the factors that can affect the condition of a tree are:

Return to Top

Dead trees are a mixed bag when it comes to the cost of tree removal. Small dead trees may be considered easier to work on as they are generally weak and brittle and will cut easier. Large dead trees are still weaker and more brittle than their living counterparts, but the weak and brittle stage makes them more dangerous to work on. Dead or dying trees in an urban environment are a hazard, and if one falls, the owner can face charges of neglect. Some tree removal services don't consider dead trees any different from a living tree when it comes to removal regardless of size. Because of the unpredictability of this factor, it's best to assume that it will cost a little bit more than removing a living tree. Ultimately, what it costs to have a dead tree cut down depends on how comfortable the tree removal service is with it.

The thicker the tree, the more it will take to remove. A tall, relatively thin tree will come down faster than a shorter, thicker tree. This will have a direct effect on the per-hour price you pay. If the trunk must be cut into sections (and they usually will), that will add that much more time to the job. Of course, a harder wood, such as oak, can make the job take even more time.

The location of the tree can affect the price of removal by 25% to 50%. A tree that is sitting comfortably away from any structures or power lines will be an easier job than a tree that is right next to your house or has power lines weaving through the branches. Many places require that a certified lineman handle anything dealing with the power lines. These employees get paid more than the others. If the tree is near a structure or any other obstruction, the branches will have to be lowered by rope instead of just being cut loose. Also, cutting down a tree that is surrounded by trees that you don't want damaged can complicate the job quite a bit. How easily the tree removal service can get to your tree is another factor. If the tree is in your front yard, access is rarely an issue. Cutting the crown and higher branches is often easily accomplished with a crane and bucket. If the tree is in your backyard, they may have to send someone to climb the tree. Also, if they're providing a chipping service, it will cost more if the branches have to be dragged any distance to the chipper.

Return to Top

As mentioned above, the height of the tree can affect the cost of tree removal. Other factors that can affect the price include certain species and whether or not the tree has fallen.

The average cost to remove a small tree is approximately $125 to $437 on average, since small trees are about 30 feet in height. Removing it isn't that difficult but can cost more if transplanted. You'll need to choose which direction to face it, whether in the sun or not. You can also dig the hole ahead of time to save some money. Consider calling the utility company to see if there are any plumbing lines or electricity concerns before you have the tree moved or removed.

The average cost to remove a medium tree is $175 to $900 and varies by height, which could range anywhere between 30 and 60 feet. You'll pay additional expenses like removing the stump, getting rid of any debris -- branches, leaves, etc. -- and cleanup. When you speak to the professional, ask about whether they're charging per tree or per hour, as this could widely vary what price quotes you get per arborist you call.

The average cost to remove a large tree is approximately $400 to $1000, since tree height ranges from 60 to 80 feet tall and requires more work. You might have a lot of reasons to remove a large, long-living tree like:

It's very dangerous to remove these trees, so arborists will take care in first removing all of the branches and then cutting it down. You might be able to cut costs by helping with the removal, but it varies by tree service professionals. You might also be able to rent some of the equipment yourself so professionals don't have to bring it in themselves.

Return to Top

The average price to remove a very large tree is around $962 to $1400. This is because very large trees can be 80 to 100 feet tall or more. They are the most complicated to remove because of factors like:

Some species of trees -- American ash, bur oak, maples -- reach over 100 feet tall and are the hardest to remove. If you have these species or similar ones who reach tall heights, it's going to be quite expensive to remove because of the work involved.

The average cost to remove a palm tree is approximately $150 to $450 to remove if their height is 30 feet. If they're 80 feet tall or more, you might spend $1,100 to $1,500 to have the tree professionally felled. Palm trees have teeth, which means they have to be roped down instead of simply cut with chainsaws. The taller the palm tree gets, the more weight they have. This means their roots are enduring a lot of stress and can eventually break, falling down into the yard's fence or your home. Professional arborists will come in and use ropes to ease it down to avoid that problem.

The average price to remove a pine tree is around $200 if the tree is 40 feet tall, but the 80-foot pine trees will cost about $1,500 because of the work and potential danger involved. Depending on the breed of pine tree you have, there could be additional work involved with removing the branches and cones. Professionals will have to wear a lot of safety gear to avoid scratches and pine getting in their eyes.

Since it reaches up to a height of 60 feet, the average cost to remove an oak tree is approximately $200 to $1,000. Oak is a very strong wood, and it's not easy to take down compared to other tree types. Factoring in its strength and girth, professionals will use heavy-duty equipment to fell the tree. It just depends on the species of oak you have and how tall it is.

The average price to remove a fallen tree is about $75 to $150 depending on the size and species of the tree. Fallen trees are less expensive to remove because a lot of the work is already done. You might pay additional costs to have the pieces hauled away. If the tree needs to be pruned -- branches removed before cutting it into pieces -- you will pay more for that service as well. If you want to have the stump removed where the tree broke off, that will cost an additional $75 to $150, depending on its girth and whether you have it grinded or completely removed.

Return to Top

When you hire a tree removal service, you're going to want to be sure of what they're going to do. Don't assume that tree removal also includes cutting it up and hauling it away. In fact, that is often an extra charge. Also, unless otherwise stated, stump removal is not always part of the deal. Here are some of the extras and a general idea of what they cost:

If you have had a recent bad storm in your area, whether a very strong wind or wind and rain, it's a good idea to at least have your trees inspected. A formerly safe tree may have suffered some damage or may now be in a condition where falling is a possibility. The worst time topay for tree cutters is after the fact!

Lyrics

The weight of the world is resting on thin ice. When the surface breaks will I find paradise? As I freeze to death, left to reflect, what a waste of time I was, in retrospect. Id take a leap of faith, but Id lose my nerve. In the end, Ill get the hell that I deserve. Im always gone with the wind. Crawling in and out of my mind. God knows, I lost all my faith. A sickness with no remedy, except the ones inside of me. You ever wonder how deep you can sink into nothing at all? Disintegrate. Annihilate me. Do you remember when you said to me, My friend, hope is a prison.? Of all the patterns that I could create, I built a labyrinth with no escape. To keep my self under lock and key. I am my own worst enemy. A sickness with no remedy, except the ones inside of me. You ever wonder how deep you can sink into nothing at all? Disintegrate. Annihilate me. If I could silence all the doubt in me, accept that what is meant to be, is meant to be. You ever wonder how deep you can sink into nothing at all? Disintegrate. Annihilate me.

Patios are the go-to solution for turning your garden, or part of it, into an outdoor living area. A well-laid patio will integrate your home seamlessly into your garden, providing a solid and level surface for garden furniture and potted plants. Well designed patios are about more than just paving slabs its positioning and layout are crucial to how much you enjoy this space. Before you start picking out patio ideas for materials and laying your patio, ask yourself important questions such as what will you use it for? How many people should it accommodate? Which part of your garden has the best aspect and sunlight? Will the patio have enough privacy?How should I position my patio?If you are designing your patio as a space for entertaining then make sure its wide enough for the garden furniture you want so you havent got guests tipping over into the flowerbeds. Dont be wedded to the idea of having your patio attached to the house; think about positioning yours elsewhere in the garden if that space doesnt offer the best aspect or lighting position. Consider the position of the sun through the course of the day and depending on whether you are most likely to want to dine outside at breakfast, have lunch on your patio or host dinner outside, you may want to position your patio differently. You can connect patios to your house with a footpath or stepping stones to allow easy transportation of food and drink. How should I design and lay my patio?Rectangles are the classic shape for patios, not least because they make the most efficient use of space and can be softened with garden edging. However, a rounded patio or a paving circle can perfectly complement a garden which isnt linear in design. Paving slabs come in an extensive range of materials and are the most practical surface for patios. Yorkstone has the most traditional appeal, whereas concrete blocks, granite and slate patio slabs have a great texture and colour for modern gardens. Natural stones such as limestone, travertine and Indian sandstone vary in colour and finish and are a great way to add shade and texture to your patio. For some patio ideas that offer an alternative to block paving, loose material such as crushed stone and wood chippings have a rustic and more casual feel; if there are specific materials that re-occur elsewhere in the garden, you could repeat this in your choice of patio materials for consistency. Finally, its not a British summer without the great British barbeque, so look at patio ideas that incorporate barbeques and think about how you could accommodate one on your patio.What garden furniture does my patio need?Rattan garden furniture is a patio favourite, offering a durable, attractive finish that blends well into natural surroundings. Metal garden furniture and wooden garden furniture are sturdy alternatives available in many styles. Weight is a good feature in garden furniture to stop it from being blown away, but if you want to be able to move your furniture around the patio and garden to follow the sun you wont want to go too heavy. Browse the various patio ideas that include garden furniture to see what styles of furniture go with different types of patios. If you find a particular patio set you like, you may be able to ask the designer where the furniture is from so you can look at buying the same set for your patio.

Good, outdoor patio furniture crafted in high-quality materials should withstand bad weather, but cold, wet British winters followed by strong sun in the summer will be enough to weather even the best furniture, so its important to have somewhere, such as a shed, to store it when not in use for long periods of time. If you dont have the space to store patio furniture, make sure that at least the cushions and umbrellas are stowed away out of the elements, and consider investing in a waterproof cover. One piece of furniture that might be able to stay out for a bit longer is a patio heater; it will warm any brave patio users and most modern designs are built to survive the cold weather. If you prefer something a bit more rustic than a patio heater, look at fire pits instead which will add warmth and an attractive centrepiece to your patio. If privacy or shade is an issue, then covering patio furniture with a parasol or sheltering patios with a gazebo or pergola are both smart patio ideas these can be covered in climbing flowers or even wound with outdoor fairy lights for romantic evening lighting.

Cleaning gutters is an easy job to put off, but the longer you wait the worse it can get. Thoroughly cleaning your gutters every spring and fall will help keep them working like they're supposed to. Debris can build up and cause damage to your downspouts and cause water damage to your roof. To clean out your gutters you will need: a trowel, ladder, buckets, garden hose, gutter cleaning attachment and gutter sealant.

To begin, clean the downspout removing any twigs, leaves and dirt. Flush out any other debris. If the water doesn't drain properly through the downspout, there is probably a clog. Remove the end of the downspout and flush with water. If this doesn't do the trick, use the full power and force of a plumbers snake.

If you notice that water sets in the bottom of your gutters be sure to readjust them so that they flow properly to the downspout. Leaks? Use gutter sealant on all joints. If there is noticeable paint damage, simply touch up with a primer. To find how to install gutter screens to keep out debris, visit http://www.Lowes.com/Videos.
