Local family owned & operated. Quality work at a fair price. Owner has been in landscape industry since 1990. We strive to make sure each customer is completed satisfied with the completed project.

"Jamie and his team over at Lawn & Landscape are ultimate professionals. They quoted me a price, and were able to level my large yard front and back, bury two tiles for drainage, and plant new grass seed in just 4 days. We were having issues with our backyard flooding and pooling, and that has been completely fixed, without damaging our existing fence. Best part? The final total was less than the original quote. I would and will recommend Supreme Lawn & Landscape to anyone who needs a landscaping company."

Also DBA Mc Lint Inc. Additional address: PO Box 158 Polk City, Ia 50226-0158.

"Excellent information before the sale. Came at scheduled time and did work in a timely way. Excellent explanation of the system and how it worked. Return to explain the thermostat to me. I was able to reduce the cost significantly by receiving a rebate as part of the Energy Efficiency Rebate Program. It has also reduced my monthly energy bill. So far the new system has worked flawlessly."

Holiday lighting add or removes FAQs

Finding affordable Christmas light installers means identifying professionals with fixed, transparent per-foot and hourly rates. You locate cost-effective installers by evaluating local service providers who offer quality installation without compromising safety. Cutting corners on wiring and installation jeopardizes both aesthetics and safety, so select installers with proven credentials. Enhance savings by choosing accent areas over full coverage, sourcing your own lights, and using timers to regulate energy consumption and boost efficiency.

Yes, hiring an installer for off-season Christmas light installation provides definitive cost benefits. You secure reduced rates because service demand declines between February and September, and installers maintain availability throughout the year. Reduced business activity in these months leads to lower fees, and you have the option of hiring a local handyperson or opting for permanent installation services if required.

Determining the number of holiday lights for your house depends on your home’s size and specific decorative vision. Your project requires 10 to 20 light strands for a basic exterior display, with 100 lights allocated for eaves and an additional 10 to 20 bulbs for each awning. For trees and substantial shrubs, allocate five to 10 strands per unit to achieve complete and balanced illumination across your property.

Tipping your Christmas light installer is a customary practice that rewards the exceptional skill and dedication involved in creating your festive display. You affirm the value of quality service by providing a tip of 10% to 20% of the total invoice. This gesture not only recognizes superior workmanship but also encourages continued excellence in future projects.
