"Our landscaping in Menlo Park needed a complete refresh. The team replaced thirsty plants with drought-tolerant options that still provide plenty of color and curb appeal. We're using much less water without sacrificing appearance."

"Hard workers and easy to work with. I hired them to try and get the mold smell (post remdiation) off of my walls and ceilings. Very thorough and the smell seemed much abated after their treatment with borax and vinegar but sadly the next day the smell returned. A tough problem. I do wish that the person who came out to price the job had communicated better with the worker team. They did not realize I expected help with cabinets and furniture also. And was surprised that there was an extra charge for hauling my sofa away which I had not been quoted. I would use them again but get things clear from the beginning."

"Adam Suval of Great Green Gardening, is tops! He is creative, responsible and reliable, through, cooperative and very talented with every type of plant, with precise attention. He transforms my backyard and front yard gardens whenever he appears for even routine maintenance. His prices are very reasonable for the degree of work he performs. He supervises a small crew that work hard and are great, too. Top recommendation!"

Snow Removal questions, answered by experts

If a big freeze catches you by surprise and you don’t have any deicer to hand, you can reduce the chance of taking a tumble by laying gritty, anti-slip materials. Some natural, readily-available options that don’t melt ice but offer traction underfoot include sand, wood shavings, kitty litter, and fireplace ash.

Rubbing alcohol may also remove ice from your driveway in a pinch. It has a lower freezing point than water, which expedites the unfreezing process. Pour 70 percent isopropyl alcohol into a quart or half-gallon spray bottle and spray it on your driveway. You do not have to dilute it with water.

Some commercial services use sand when clearing ice, but that’s to add instant traction, not to melt the ice. While you can scatter kitty litter, sand, or similar substances on steps, paths, or porches to improve safety during icy conditions, they won’t help melt hardened ice. Rely on salt or other de-icing methods to fully melt away stubborn ice.

When temperatures drop far enough, even rock salt can’t melt the ice. The briny solution freezes before it develops, and the salt doesn’t work, which happens around 10 to 15 degrees Fahrenheit. Keep in mind that wind chill and other factors impact ice-melting progress. Some ice melters, like magnesium chloride, work at colder temperatures and work better for deep winter freezes.

There are several ways to remove snow from your roof: using a snow rake, salting the roof with calcium chloride, using a rope (cautiously), and using heating cables. It’s important to mention that pretty, fluffy, sparkling snow weighs a great deal, and when physically removing snow from a roof, you should be aware of large snow slabs breaking off. These can weigh hundreds of pounds and are a real danger, so be extremely careful anytime you’re doing this type of work.
