Depends on the region the oak tree is growing. Up here most Oak trees do drop their leaves. Considering most out of staters that own property in "Camden" come in for the summer months. They want the view of the harbor or bay, Oaks would be fully leaved. I have worked in that town on a "vacation home" for a family that owns a former Maine business. They tend to spend a month at the home or so, have multiple properties and have helped local companies with hiring for projects. Indecisiveness is there biggest issue with this one, one person lives in London and others live in another state. So projects dragged on, which is nice for us. Anyways, entitlement played into it when another project next door came to the company and an architect was next door meeting with new clients, old clients were pissed that they weren't being catered to.
