Choosing the right type of Christmas tree is important because 
Christmas trees are often a focal point for many family activities and 
traditions. Given the many types of Christmas trees that are available, 
it is important to think about how the tree will be used. While a tall 
tree may look very elegant, it may not be suitable if there aren't many 
adults around who can reach the tree's heights. And a very short tree 
may be dwarfed by other furniture in the room. It's therefore very 
important to carefully consider and get a tree that has a suitable 
height and also one that has sturdy branches to hold heavy ornaments.
Artificial and real Christmas trees can often be bought from the 
same retail stores these days as local businesses and retail chain 
stores often sell both types of trees. The best place to get a real and 
fresh Christmas tree, and also to see a wide variety, is likely a 
Christmas tree farm however. Using modern technology, both types of 
trees can also be obtained through online transactions, via telephone 
as well as by mail-order through catalogs.
Among Christmas trees there are certain types that are 
always favorites and which are bestsellers. These include:  Douglas, 
Fraser, Noble and Balsam firs, and Scotch, Virginia and white pine 
trees.

These evergreen trees all have all have one or more excellent 
features related to shape, color or sheen and fragrance, which makes 
them favorites for Christmas trees.
The most favorite Christmas trees basically have a pyramid or 
cone shape. A pyramid-shaped tree is likely taller and has somewhat of 
an elegant look. Douglas Fir, which ranks first among Christmas tree 
favorites, is an example of a pyramid-shaped tree. Other examples are 
Fraser, Balsam and Noble firs.
A cone shape tree tends to be short with dense branches, which makes 
them excellent for holding many ornaments and other decorations. 
Families that have a strong tradition of making their own ornaments, or 
putting mementos on Christmas trees may consider a cone-shaped tree.
Virginia and Scotch Pines, Norway Spruce and the Eastern White Pine all 
have cone shapes.

Another feature that makes Christmas trees appealing is their 
color. While all trees have a green appearance, a closer look at their 
needles will reveal differences such as a bright or dark-green, blue-
green or yellowish-green hue. The needles may also emit a silvery sheen 
with the right lighting. Fraser and Noble firs both have needles with a 
silvery sheen, and the branches of both trees are also used for 
garlands and wreaths.
Most people choose a fresh Christmas tree for its fragrance, 
which can be fairly strong or just subtle, giving off just enough of a 
whiff of scent. Douglas Fir, which is the most popular Christmas tree 
in homes and public places, is a very fragrant tree. The Balsam fir is 
also fairly fragrant. The Eastern White Pine is however, a tree that 
doesn't have much fragrance.
Whether you have a favorite type of Christmas tree or will choose 
one from its appearance, there are many choices to satisfy the desire 
to have a fragrant and well-decorated tree for Christmas.



Hire an Architect and experienced builder

An architect is an asset to any project requiring building a new structure or fundamentally altering a current structure. An architect can turn your vision into an actual plan and blueprint it for a builder to work from. They are not only skilled at building engineering, structural and spatial relationships and planning, but they also are familiar with applicable building codes and zoning regulations. They work as your agent and can help you in bid evaluation and selecting a contractor.





How do I know I need an architect and construction expert?

If you answer yes to any of the following questions below, then you may need to hire an architect:
Do you need a blueprint for bank financing, construction requirements or subcontractors to complete your project?
Custom design preferences?
Do you require a permit for your project?
Do you need help designing your room/house?
Do specific areas of your project require an architect's seal?
Selecting an architect


He or she should show genuine enthusiasm for your project. An equally important consideration is simply how well you two get along. Competence, interest and chemistry are major considerations in making the final selection. Determine the size and scope of your project. You may wish to consult a contractor first to discuss cost, feasibility and design coordination. Select two or more firms and ask for references from previous jobs similar to yours. Verify their expertise in your type of project and their ability to complete projects on time and on budget.




 A license is required in many states to work as an architect. A quick call to your local building department will help you confirm that the architect that you are about to hire has an active license.
As you get your bids, ask for everything to be in writing and understand the terms and conditions of the work to be done. See what kinds of warranties are offered and know what is included in the price of the estimate.
