Christmas & Santa Clause
631-993-1039 / 516-659-4716
Santa is a mythical, historical who in many cultures is said to bring gifts to children who behave good. During the christianization of germany this figure had elements of the god odin and was given the name of a christian bishop Saint Nicholas.
The image of the white-bearded man was adopted in the united states and canada in the 19th century after the poem from 1823 "A Visit From St. Nicholas" and of caricaturist and political cartoonist Thomas Nast. Television made it possible to distribute.
According to a tradition which can be traced to the 1820s, Santa Claus lives at the North Pole, with elves and flying reindeers. Since the 20th century, in an idea popularized by the 1934 song "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town".
Pre-modern representations of the gift-giver from church history and folklore, notably St Nicholas and Sinterklaas, merged with the British character Father Christmas to create the character known to Britons and Americans as Santa Claus!
The North American traditions associated with Santa Claus are derived from a number of Christmas traditions from various countries. Some rituals (such as visiting a department store Santa) occur in the weeks and days before Christmas while others, such as preparing snacks for Santa, are specific to Christmas Eve. Some rituals, such as setting out stockings to be filled with gifts.

Problems After Sandy
631-993-1039 / 516-659-4716
It's been already 2 Months since the Sandy Hurricane hit the East Coast, but many problems seem to be still here not going away for many residents. The accumulation of debris its a big problem, stumps not being removed yet and garbage disposal are the main problems of why this hasn't gone away yet.
When a natural disaster like sandy occurs security goes first, emergencies go on the top of the list , the most important thing is to secure that no one gets hurt and the most dangerous situations get fixed first. The problem is that many emergencies happened at the same time and the minor and last details after a while are amounting.
Problem #1 Some debris hasn't been picked up and still on the streets because the town isn't coming around soon enough. Well what you can do its make sure you and your neighbors are on top of the town but sometimes there is certain debris that they wont pick up. Debris being picked up from tree companies may be taking a little bit of time too and also depending on when you go the job done, after a natural disaster for everything to be taken away 100% can even take up to 4 weeks.
Problem #2 Sumps not being removed yet, well this one should be the least of the problems although they arent good for the view te emergency is gone, the fallen tree. There is aproximatelly 3,000 to 4,000 stumps to be removed in NY. These will be taken down is an slower pace.
Problem #3 Garbage disposal, This is the main cause of why problem #1 and problem #2 still exist...there is no place to throw out debris. All the places where the goverment and tree companies dispose all the garbage and full. In many places like in Floyd Bennett Field started burning out debris. The American Lung Association is against this while the enviromental office says its the safest alternative we have. The only way this can be solved unfortunatelly its with time and contacting the goverment so they can help long island to get rid of the debris problem.

CAT RESCUE
Cats seem to be fans of climbing trees, there are many reasons why they do but mostly to do with predatory or defensive instincts. Cats, as predators like to know its surroundings. Their scope of vision is considerably smaller than the outdoor environment of their yards or neighborhoods.
Cats often climb trees to get a better view of their surroundings, to help them see any potential dangers or potential prey. While cats are predators, they are also vulnerable to attacks from larger animals, such as dogs or even other cats.
A tree often provides a safe hiding place, particularly from any annoyed canine that happens to be passing. In the wild, cats climb up trees to give them a resting or napping place that is out of predators’ range. It also helps disguise their presence, which can prevent any prey from noticing that there is a cat in the vicinity. Sometimes, cats climb trees in response to noticing the inhabitants of upper branches: birds and squirrels.
Frequently, a cat will be a little too excited by the possibility of a free-range meal and climb to precarious heights in pursuit of a tasty meal. This situation can result in serious unhappiness for the other animal, the cat, and the owner faced with getting his or her pet down from the top branches of a spruce, so a cat owner may want to consider taking preventative action the moment his or her cat approaches a likely tree.

Make Sure You Are Protected
631-993-1039 / 516-659-4716
This past October 29th when Hurricane sandy hit, many companies were put through a test. The test of reliability, while many companies showed their true colors other prevailed.
One of the best things that you can do for your self, as it seems its getting more common to face natural disasters in our areas (Irene 2011, Sandy 2012) , we should take notes and know what steps to take so thing doesn't happen to us ever again.
Make sure you have a good insurance and know what the insurance covers, study every single clause. As it was learned after sandy many houses didn't even know if they houses were protected for natural disasters. Others had many troubles because insurances didn't respond to them as it was needed and many didn't even know what action to take or didn't even know how to process an insurance claim.
Make sure you have coverage of natural disasters, including tree removal. This although more expensive will be better than having to pay for the damage out of pocket at the end of the day because you weren't covered for it.

The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree
631-993-1039 / 516-659-4716
This Past week on November 28th 2012 The Rockefeller Christmas lighting tradition took place and is been taking place since 1933. Many of the trees decorations were given by donors.
The late David Murbach, Manager of the Gardens Division of Rockefeller Center, searchs for a tree on a helicopter in the areas of Connecticut, Vermont, Ohio, upstate New York, New Jersey, and even Ottawa, Canada. When a tree is chosen, a crane supports it while it is cut, and moves it to a custom telescoping trailer that can transport trees up to 125 feet (38 m) tall, but the width of New York City streets passing through Rockefeller Center limits the height of the trees to 110 feet (34 m).
When they locate the tree on the Rockefeller Center, then they attach four guy-wires at its midpoint, and by a steel spike at its base. The star that has topped the tree since 2004 is 9.5 feet (2.9 m) in diameter and weighs 550 pounds (250 kg). This "Swarovski Star" was created by German artist Michael Hammers, who in 2009 additionally designed his own star lighting production.
The unofficial history of the tradition started on the Depression-era construction of Rockefeller Center, when workers from there decorated a smaller 20 feet (6.1 m) tree with "strings of cranberries garlands of paper, and even a few tin cans" on December 24, 1931.
There was no Christmas tree in 1932. The decorated Christmas tree remains lit at Rockefeller Center through January 6. Then it is removed and gets recycled for many other uses. In 2007, they changed the lights to conserve energy.The tall est Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center was a 100 feet (30 m) spruce erected on November 11, 1999.

Local Tree Removal Companies are ALWAYS BETTER
631-993-1039 / 516-659-4716
In the weeks after following sandy many people were looking for someone to attend to their emergencies ASAP. The best thing is always to contact the local companies near you, this way you can always verify that they are legit companies that have references and are insured.
Unfortunately due to the high demand after a natural disaster many opportunists start appearing from everywhere so you should make sure this people are licensed to remove trees.
As we mentioned on our prior post, there are 2 very common mistakes a homeowner often makes.
1. Make sure is a local contractor and you can verify their office address... verify this companies that will remove your tree aren't "Here today and Gone Tomorrow". To the verified the quality of a job you need to be able to also reach them and when need it.... Many times you can see customers giving money to people up front who never come back tomorrow to do the job.
2. Make sure they aren't Landscapers... I know many times we trying to save some money specially when more than just a tree felt down on your property but you may not be saving money, this can turn into a dangerous result. Landscaping companies don't have the insurance to cover an accident while removing a tree because they aren't licensed for it, they can only do debris clean up. There are so many ways this combination can go wrong in so many ways from a tree being removed in a bad way causing more damage to your property to someone getting injured because they didn't have the experience of a tree removal expert so be careful and its better to be safe.

Avoid Being Scammed after a Hurricane
631-993-1039 / 516-659-4716
When a natural disaster just like sandy happens the last thing that some homeowners may think is why would someone out there would be trying to take advantage out of someone who is in such helpless situation? but unfortunately you see it happening all the time, people trying to benefit from someones misfortune.
There are ways on how you can avoid this happening to you, we know many times is hard to focus on all the things that are happening at the time with a cold perspective, but following these simple steps you will avoid anyone taking advantage.
New York General Eric Schneiderman gave steps and what you need to do after a hurricane happens.
*As a personal advise make sure your case is an emergency, many times we have to realize that although we all have our own priorities there is always someone who can be in worse situation than us, try not to panic.
Tree companies want to help everyone but its understandable that many situations can be worse than others and it may take sometime for them to come around due to the high demand after a natural disaster.
Just remember that is not the same a tree inside someone's residence, than a tree that felt on the lawn on a back yard so please be understandable, patient and use common sense, this will help you to not be a victim of a scam*

- Check with you insurance company: Make sure that before the disaster happens that you will be covered by your insurance and which are the steps to follow after a disaster to be ready ahead and not do everything last minute when other people are trying to do the same at the same time.
- Do your homework and investigate the person you will hire: Make sure they have a license to operate, insurance and they can do the job you require them to do.
- You can ask them for estimates in writing: the best way to go about it is by asking them to fax it directly to your insurance company, this way the process will be shorten and move faster just make sure that the work that will be provided is well specified in details.
- Know you customer rights and remember your customer responsibilities too.
- Always use a local contractor: Verify this contractors aren't "Here today and Gone Tomorrow," local contractors may be high on demand but its better to be safe than sorry. "You don't usually find legitimate contractors knocking on doors offering to do this sort of thing" if you see someone doing that, its a big red flag!!!
- Don't Pay all the money before they start the job: Legit contractors know the business and know that paying all up front can be difficult, do payments like half before start and the other half after the job is finished, this way you are protecting your assets and good contractors will know its a proper way to do business
- Check your town's tree removal requirements: Although many times they tend to be waved when a disaster such sandy occurs but its good you ask just in case.

Your Trees & The Hurricane
631-993-1039 / 516-659-4716
Tree Damage can be one of the saddest and most
worrisome results of any hurricane or severe storm. Trees are very important
for humans and the earth. In terms of safety they can be damage structures
during a hurricane.
Knowing which trees to plant,
where to plant them, and how to prepare existing trees for hurricane season can
greatly reduce the risk of lost or damaged trees.
There are some steps
you can take on your own, but for best results, rely on the experience of your tree service professional. Have a tree expert remove dead trees and dread tree limbs and
evaluate the health of trees near enough to fall on your (or your
neighbor's) house. Your
tree service professional is your greatest tool in preventative care to make less the damage.
Pruning is crucial
in allowing a tree to grow strong which reduces the factors of causing damage.
Trees need to be pruned selectively to allow wind passage, encourage strong
branch angles and encourage a healthy center of gravity so it doesn't incline and falls.
Another concern is leaf debris. Tree leaves and pine needles can clog house gutters. The excess water increases the weight in the gutters and may cause them to fail and clog. The pooling water can overflow and cause wood rot and even enter the exterior wall resulting in Sheetrock damage inside your home. Make sure gutters and downspouts are clean in advance of inclement weather. If you see plants growing in your gutters, it is time to clean them!

AUTUMN CLEAN UP
631-993-1039 / 516-659-4716
When seasons change we all love the change and mix of colors, but this beauty can only last for a bit when we realize these leaves will fall and we will have to clean up. They can be cleaned through blowing, raking or vacuuming.
When cleaning and putting all the leaves together we recommend concentrated areas suck as under trees, inside fences or the crook of an l-wing on a house, where the leaves stay there and don't have another place to go.
Try to just not blow them , you can add carbon dioxide which reduces other nutrients to the environment.
Try to just not blow them , you can add carbon dioxide which reduces other nutrients to the environment.
Leaves can damage for homes, cars but specially roofs.
To prevent this you should trim your branches so that leaves don't fall on your roof, the perfect time for pruning is before leaves start falling which eliminates the work in advance.
To lighten cleaning loads
for the leaves that do land on the roof, consider covering gutters with chicken
wire or commercial gutter screens.
5 ways to get rid of leaves after collected would be compost them, make leaf mold, mulch, hoard them or mow them.
