We have tall (60 foot) pine trees in our front yard. They would look so beautiful with holiday lights. Who can we hire to string Xmas lights on the trees? Obviously, they would need a big lift or cherry picker truck. How much do you think it would cost?

A lot.

My inlaws used to pay $1000-$1500 a year for installation of 3 wreaths, a santa train (15 ft. long, 4 ft high) decoration installed and a couple 20 ft evergreens strung with lights.

I just saw a sign for this the other day. It was something like wehanglights.com or wehangxmaslights.com something like that. I'll drive past is again later and will post the correct site. I know in the neighborhood where I saw the sign, several people hire "professional light hangers" and they do look great! I'll report back. This was in the western burbs but I'm sure they travel.

My uncle has been using these people for the last couple of years. I believe they are affordable, seeing as my uncle is not very wealthy;That statement is only an assumption

I worked for a window washing company once who did it on the side during the holidays. They didn't charge much, and we did a decent job, though it wan't our specialty. I'm sure you can google WINDOW WASHERS or something of that nature.

Good luck

You might get someone who usually is a tree-trimmer that has a bucket truck. In these difficult times, even though you don't want a tree cut/trimmed, they might be willing to put the lights up, of course, they would have to come back to take them down too. I would imagine someone would charge a couple hundred bucks. but, sometimes, there is a cash discount!!
