Walked off the job after I paid him 3/4 of the entire fee because he wanted the rest of the fee before finishing the job. (He was only about 1/3 of the way done). Charlie broke my toilet tank (which took me 2 weeks of research to find a replacement) and chipped my sink (50+ places) and bathtub...

<p>They did a great job. Careful. They pointed out any problems. If they saw a piece of furniture that was chipped they pointed it out before they put it on the truck partly for their own liability but also because it is good to know. It is good business practice to do that. They were good about...

Gino is a master painter! We had to schedule him about 6 weeks ahead of time, but it was well worth the wait. He is meticulous and exacting in his work. He does not "cut corners"- he does what is needed. For example, on the trim pieces around our windows and doors, the previous painters had...

Brush Chipping questions, answered by experts

Some states have bans on disposing of yard waste in plastic bags in landfills. Yard waste takes up space in landfills and releases methane gas when disposed of improperly. It's best to repurpose it naturally to benefit your garden and the environment.

It typically takes six to 12 months for leaves to decompose entirely. The process involves the mulch composting into your lawn to deliver nutrients that facilitate grass growth. The recommended process is to spread a thick layer of leaf mulch over your garden and let it marinate for a few seasons for best long-term results.

Mature lilac bushes that are large and overgrown are more challenging to remove than small lilac bushes. Large lilac bushes have deeper roots that are more widespread, making it harder to dig them up and remove them. If you don’t dig under and around the primary roots, then you run the risk of the lilac bush growing back. So, it is a time-consuming process if done correctly.

If you want to remove a bush that’s located on top of utility lines, you’ll need to call your local utility company to determine the best course of action. If you can’t dig out your stump its roots, cutting a bush off at ground level might be the best you can do. Adding a planter over top of the cut branch or planting something else around the stump can cover the area while the stump decomposes.

Digging a bush up by the roots is the most natural DIY method for removing a bush stump. Start by identifying the shrub type and revealing its roots. Cut the shrub to its base and loosen the soil, ensuring no utility lines are nearby. Optionally, treat the base with herbicide, then dig around the roots and cut a circle around the shrub using various tools. Dig a trench, cut the base of the root ball, and finally fill the hole to prevent regrowth. This thorough process ensures complete removal without damaging surrounding areas.
