1. Tree Trimming

Estimated cost in the Oak Creek area: $400

Task description from HomeAdvisor: "Tree trimming is important for aesthetic reasons and to encourage the growth of strong, healthy trees. It isn’t as simple as some people think, however. Heights, cutting tools, and falling tree limbs all combine to make this a dangerous task. On top of that, improper technique and practices can end up hurting your tree more than it helps. Don’t shy away from contacting a reputable tree trimming company or arborist in your area about taking care of the most important plants on your property."

Estimated cost in the Oak Creek area: $2,000

Task description from HomeAdvisor: "The best landscape designs are the ones that have been carefully thought out with attention paid to the details. Before planning a landscape it is important to decide what style would best fit your home and lifestyle. Whether you want to transform your property or simply make sure it stays in good shape, you can benefit from working with a landscaper."

Estimated cost in the Oak Creek area: $900

Task description from HomeAdvisor: "Not every mature tree is destined to live for hundreds of years. Unfortunately, disease, insects, fungus, lightning, heavy snows, high winds, and several other factors can cause enough damage to necessitate removal. Mature trees are extremely difficult and dangerous to cut down, and the results of improper mature tree removal are not something you want to witness first hand."

Estimated cost in the Oak Creek area: $179

Task description from HomeAdvisor: "The sheer number of appliances in a home means that sooner or later one will go on the fritz. And it could happen at the worst possible time—the oven going out right before the holidays, for example. With more than 8 million appliance repairs happening each year, appliance repairpersons are in high demand, so it pays to have a few reputable ones to call."

Estimated cost in the Oak Creek area: $70

Task description from HomeAdvisor: "Every year hundreds of people injure their backs, or worse, by shoveling snow. Snow removal may be a necessity if it snows frequently, but it is also a physical activity that should be carefully undertaken. With 11,500 snow shoveling and removal injuries per year, hiring a professional saves you time and protects your health and wellbeing."

Estimated cost in the Oak Creek area: $700

Task description from HomeAdvisor: "The best way to find a good moving service in your area is to do your research and ask the right questions. Every professional listed on HomeAdvisor passes a background check and carries a current license and insurance.
