Finding The Best Landscape Trees For Your Yard

Leave a comment

Choosing which type of landscape trees to use for your yard must be a product of research. You don’t just pick any tree that interests you and grow it in your yard. You need to consider their aesthetics effects they have on your yard all year round. Here is a list of landscape trees that are ideal for each season in a temperate region.

Spring

Magnolia trees are best for spring. After the snow and when everything springs back to life, there should be plenty of colors in your yard. A yard that is well-landscaped must have flowering trees of great beauty. Apple trees of different varieties are also great bloomers in themselves. When you see how they bloom, you will think their fruit is just a bonus.

Summer

While flowers are good, you need more than just colors for your yard. It means you need trees that show off their beauty during more than one season. We’re talking about dogwood trees. They bloom during spring and they grow amazing branching pattern during summer. And they are favorite of birds. Japanese maple trees are another type of trees for more than one season.

Autumn

Some of the maples in North America and Europe are equally beautiful in Autumn as they are during summer. And they are larger, too, which accentuates their color in fall. Notice that even on a cloudy day during fall, the sky seems to light up because of maple trees.

Winter

Your yard must also have blue spruce trees. We have mentioned trees that provide beauty to your yard in spring, summer and fall. But during winter when all the colorful foliage is gone, what will remain of your yard? Here is where the evergreen landscape trees come in. These trees include dwarf Alberta spruce trees, arborvitae trees, and the Nellie R. Stevens holly. Birch trees are also useful in winter because of their branching patterns and their bark that is unusually pleasing.

To mix all these beautiful trees in your backyard, you need the help of a professional tree service in San Mateo, CA. More than just offering tree planting and tree trimming services, a tree service company can also helps you get the trees that you want for your yard and work on your landscaping project. You can find a tree service company online and learn more about them and the services they offer.

Tracesmart Adds 2011 Electoral Roll Data To Its Records

Leave a comment

Tracesmart has announced it has expanded its wealth of accurate, up-to-date data with the recent addition of 2011 edited Electoral Roll records. The inclusion of this information to its online people search website will significantly help increase user’s tracing success rates and reunite many more families and friends.

The Electoral Roll is an extremely important reference point for those individuals looking to find lost family members and friends, as it provides the most accurate snapshot of the UK’s population.

Commenting on inclusion of Electoral Roll 2011 data within its database, Paul Weathersby, Tracesmart’s technical director stated: “Electoral Roll data plays a pivotal role in the tracing process, and the more accurate and recent the data, the more likely it is that a trace can be conducted successfully. As a business, it is crucial to us that our customers enjoy the highest success rates possible, we therefore aim to provide access to Electoral Roll data at the earliest possible opportunity each year.

Encouragingly, this year’s edited Electoral Roll has seen the first decrease in the opt-out rate, since it was introduced. The drop, from 46% in 2010 to 45% in 2011, should see more records being available. However, there is still a large section of UK citizens unaccounted for on the edited version of the Electoral Roll and as such we will continue to source additional data to fill in the blanks.”

Maintaining the accuracy of this information is of high importance to Tracesmart, who will be updating the 2011 Electoral Roll on a monthly basis using Rolling Register updates. The Rolling Register allows people to re-register on the Electoral Roll if their personal circumstances change mid-electoral year. Rolling Register updates account for approximately 250,000 amendments each month.

Noting the importance of ensuring that its customers have the latest data made available to them, Owen Roberts, head of PR at Tracesmart, commented: “Our aim is to help people reunite with their families and reconnect with friends that they’ve lost contact with. The addition of the 2011 Electoral Roll and our commitment to keep this updated on a monthly basis highlights our devotion to reuniting family and friends.”

Smart Travel – DialAFlight App Signals 2011’s Biggest Mobile Trend

Leave a comment

With 75.3 million iPhones sold in 2010 alone, the age of the Smartphone is well and truly upon us. One of the principle innovations associated with the rise of the Smartphone is, of course, the ‘App’.

There are already a plethora of apps catering to every conceivable aspect of modern living and the development of these often whimsical, frequently rather handy and sometimes near indispensable little applications is set to accelerate in 2011. One area that is sure to see a surge in smartphone apps this year is the travel sector.

Apps seem set to impact the travel sector in a big way and DialAFlight, one of the biggest providers of cheap flights worldwide, have lead the way by launching an iPhone application that gives some indication of how Smartphone technology can improve the traveller’s experience.

The free app, which provides users with a complete travel itinerary, updated flight status, a ‘find my hotel’ function and a guide to the best flight prices, was amongst the first in the travel sector to hit the market. This makes finding cheap flights to Bangkok, New Zealand, Cape Town and other exotic locations a dream to organise.

The smart phone allows users to have more control over their holiday experience. With utilities such as mapping, currency converters and travel updates, it promises to take the stress out of travel. No more back seat drivers or bad navigators, just enter your hotel details and let GPS take the reins.

Chem-Dry Highland’s Investment – Promoting Healthier Indoor Air Quality And Relief For Allergy Sufferers

Leave a comment

With an estimated one in three people in Britain suffering from allergies at some point in their lives, indoor air quality is a topic that regularly makes the news. It is also estimated that 80% of allergy problems are often caused by the airborne dust mite, who can double their numbers in ten hours. One ideal breeding ground for the dust mite is household furnishings, carpets and bedding. However, Inverness based carpet cleaning franchise, Chem-Dry Highland have recently invested in the revolutionary CTS 330 Truckmount carpet cleaning system, which will help in the constant battle to eliminate dust mites, providing some great news for allergy sufferers.

This revolutionary cleaning technology is a fully self contained unit and is able to help protect families and businesses, better than ever from the dust and allergens that build up at home or in the workplace. The CTS 330 Truckmount cleaning system is at least five times more powerful than conventional cleaning devices and provides numerous health and safety advantages. These benefits include reduced hazards with less manual handling and fatigue placed on technicians as they no longer have to manoeuvre equipment from floor to floor and through customer’s homes.

The Carpet & Rug Institute based in the US, who are responsible for undertaking programs to test the effectiveness of carpet cleaning products and represents the carpet and rug industry, recently awarded the CTS 330 Truckmount a gold level ‘Seal of Approval’, the highest accolade for certified deep cleaning systems.

Judith McCarvel, Partner of Chem-Dry Highland, comments “If any member of your family suffers from allergies, you will understand just how important it is to maintain a good standard of indoor air quality and undertake regular cleaning to control allergies such as dust mites. As a local carpet cleaning franchise operator since 1987, I believe it is one of our responsibilities to improve air quality in our customer’s homes, neutralise the household dust mite and contribute towards providing a better standard of living for allergy sufferers”.

Premiere Tree Services of St. Louis Calls on City to Increase Residential Tree Planting

Leave a comment

Premiere Tree Services of St. Louis is calling on residents and city officials alike to increase the number of trees that are planted citywide. According to Executive VP Jacob Sams, “Planting additional trees in the St. Louis area would have an enormous impact on the local environment. Planting trees is key to any city, but especially St. Louis.”

Experts agree that if each residential homeowner in St. Louis were to plant just one tree in their yard it would have an enormous impact on the environment. Trees absorb carbon dioxide, which in turn helps ease the negative effects of greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, the shade that trees give off helps to reduce air conditioning costs and save on electricity.

In addition to individual residential homeowners, Premiere Tree Services of St. Louis is also calling on the city government to plant additional trees on residential streets. Trees planted along residential streets reduce sidewalk temperatures in summer months. Additionally, trees cleanse the air of diesel and dust particles, and also capture storm water that reduces storm water runoff.

According to Sams, planting trees is an important first step, but proper maintenance is equally important. Both newly planted trees and existing trees in residential areas require care. Indeed, weed removal, watering, and spraying is crucial to new tree health and survival.

Milanoo Scam Is Nothing but a Lie

Leave a comment

If you are looking for quality dresses, then you will find your choice at Milanoo. Most customers are fond of the wholesale website milanoo.com as they find many different costumes and dresses. The prices are affordable and the quality of the dresses is very good. The website is visited by millions of people who like to shop online & not bothered by any milanoo scam. Customers come across their favorite dresses on milanoo.com. It certainly saves them a lot of time and effort. They do not have to go to the market and search for the costumes they want. They can have anything they want at the click of a button and within seconds too.

Milanoo.com is different from other wholesaling websites that are there on the Internet. It has many product categories and milanoo.com focuses on each one of them in order to have maximum customer satisfaction. Among the product categories are: Catsuits, wedding dresses, club wear, women’s clothing etc and they are all very popular. The list of products is endless and one can get all the information on the company’s website. In today’s modern day life people are hard pressed for time and if they get to shop on milanoo.com it certainly saves them a lot of precious time.

Like so many other customers I too decided to buy my stuff from milanoo.com even though there were a plethora of options before me. My friends and acquaintances had a lot of praises for the website. I was not discouraged by the milanoo scam reports that were making so much of noise. I was a little skeptical thinking about how my buying experience would turn out to be. However, I decided to go ahead and take a chance myself. I am glad that I did because I enjoyed the whole shopping experience with milanoo.com. I could find everything that I wanted on the website and was amazed at their service .It was prompt as always.

The milanoo scam is a lie. There are many customers like me who do not believe in the dubious reviews that are making the rounds on the Internet. The company website is very user friendly and takes care of the needs of the customers. The products can be viewed on the website and a person can buy them after checking the price and other details. The variety is mind boggling and it satisfies different customers equally. I found that they were prompt in their delivery and I got my things on time. I had no reason to complain whatsoever. The goods arrived at my door in good and impeccable condition. Do not pay heed to any milanoo scam and enjoy shopping.

Aggressive Expansion Planned For Appliance Repair Firm

Leave a comment

A nationwide appliance repair company is about to embark on an “aggressive expansion plan” as it makes the most of the public’s growing make do and mend attitude, brought on by the recession.

Chester-le-Street-based 0800 Repair, which carries out work on range of domestic appliances from ovens to tumble driers, is looking to create around 150 franchise operations over the next five years. In addition, the business wants to employ a further 60 call centre staff over the next two years.

Demand for the company’s services has soared in recent months as consumers look to save money by having their old appliances repaired, rather than shelling out on new models. The firm is receiving scores of new contracts each day and its engineers will carry out anything from a cooker repair to a washing machine repair.

0800 Repair is currently taking on more than 250 domestic repairs every week, combined with around 2,500 jobs each week for retailers and insurance companies. The increased workload has led the business to project a turnover of £12m for 2009/10, rising to around £24m by 2014.

Asthma UK Is The Perfect Partner For Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning Specialists Chem-Dry

Professional carpet cleaners & upholstery cleaning and disaster restoration specialists Chem-Dry aim to raise the bar and really make a difference for asthma sufferers this year, after announcing Asthma UK as their chosen ‘Charity of the Year’ for 2010. Chem-Dry franchisees up and down the country aim to help raise significant funds through a range of fundraising initiatives and activities during 2010.

Asthma UK Is The Perfect Partner For Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning Specialists Chem-Dry

In 2010, Chem-Dry is proud to be supporting Asthma UK, the national charity dedicated to helping the one in five households affected by asthma. Most people will know someone with asthma, but many people don’t realise that this condition is serious and claims three lives in the UK every day. In fact, more people die each year of asthma than cervical cancer and testicular cancer combined and sadly many adults and children with severe asthma face frequent hospital visits or can be stuck in their own homes, trapped by breathlessness.

Asthma UK provides support and advice to all people affected by asthma, through a range of projects, dedicated research and services. These can include specialised holidays for children with asthma and a popular Adviceline staffed by asthma nurse specialists.

Neil Churchill, Chief Executive of Asthma UK says: “We are really excited about our brand new partnership with Chem-Dry in 2010 and look forward to working with their staff, franchises and customers to make a real difference for people with asthma and maintain vital services such as our Adviceline”.

0800 Repair Announces Recruitment Drive As Demand Soars

A national repair company is to almost double the number of staff at its Dinnington call centre near Sheffield, following a surge in demand.

0800 Repair, which specialises in installing and carrying out repairs to domestic appliances such as washing machine repair, Dishwasher repair and cooker repairs, said the recession has led to a ‘make do and mend’ culture. With money tight for many households across the UK, repairing appliances rather than spending hundreds of pounds on new machines is an attractive option.

The firm currently employs 10 staff at the Waterside Business Park in Dinnington and as a result of the increase in demand for its services, plans to employ a further eight people at the site.

Paul Feek, managing director, said: “We’ll be expanding operations in the North East and at Dinnington, near Sheffield, and we’ll be needing more staff to help us achieve that.”

Over the next five years 0800 Repair intends to create more than 60 jobs nationally. Along with Dinnington, the company has another call centre in Chester-le-Street, a repair centre in County Durham, a distribution and repair centre in West Yorkshire and an IT centre in Surrey.

0800 Repair also provides employment for around 400 sub-contracted engineers and along with its network of franchisees, carries out in the region of 100,000 appliance repairs every year.
