When I went to my sister’s house not long ago, I was amazed at how nice her yard looked. This was not to say that it never looked nice before, because it certainly did. However, I could tell that she had done some landscaping changes, including to her three big trees. I could tell something was different, and she told me that she had contracted a tree service to prune them for her. Seeing her trees and how they were transformed was all I needed to look into my own tree services in Asheville NC, which is where I live.

I had never considered this before because I had never known anyone who had their trees pruned. After seeing how much nicer pruning made my sister’s trees, I was a firm believer. I was able to contract a local tree services company to come out and look at the trees on my property. I was excited about getting them pruned, but I was not expecting to hear the news that I received. One of my trees was dying from disease, and I was not even aware of this. It looked the same to me, but the man from the tree company showed me on the trunk the fungus that was taking over.

Up close, it was very evident, and I asked him if the tree could be saved. Because it was caught fairly early, he was optimistic about the treatment options. While that tree was getting treated for disease, he went ahead and pruned all of them. The difference is truly night and day, and they all look so much healthier and more vibrant because of this. Even the tree that was riddled with disease is bouncing back and looking much better, so calling the tree pruner out truly did save my trees!

For my birthday, my husband surprised me with a kitchen renovation. He was willing to give me the kitchen of my dreams. New cabinets, painted walls, quartz counters and updated appliances were all part of his gift. This dream did not include calling the emergency plumbing company in New Jersey but I had to anyway.

We picked out the cabinets and counters I wanted. I even got the fancy drawers with the dividers to make organizing every thing easier. I wanted the walls a pale yellow to create a happy, inviting space. We got to work painting the walls first. After we got that done, we began putting in my beautiful new quartz counters. Part of the way through, I decided that the sink should be moved.

My husband didn’t think this would cause a huge issue. However, we didn’t think it through. As he disconnected the sink, he somehow broke the waterline. Water started going everywhere. It was soaking my new cabinets and the freshly painted walls. He ran to turn off the main water valve and I began searching for an emergency plumbing company in New Jersey.

The plumber showed up fixed the busted line. Since he was there, we decided it was best if we paid him to help us move the sink to it’s new location and install the new dishwasher. I’m glad we did because it was not as simple as we originally thought it would be. There were a lot more steps involved.

I now know that when we decide to do any more major changes, we should consult professionals before we start. It could’ve saved us a huge amount of stress if we had. I should probably go ahead and set up an appointment for when I want to redo our master bathroom.
