How can I get rid of a bush with utility lines underneath it?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

I highly recommend North Cal Paving for the chip seal (tar & crushed stone chips) over my 100’ long old cement driveway. Very cost effective alternative to asphalt paving and best bid I received. The crew was professional, on time, efficient and skilled. They explained he the process works:...

Would have rated higher but the worker accidentally chipped the mirror on my medicine cabinet and then claimed it was a pre-existing condition (which I can say unequivocally it was not). He did bring and install a metal piece to cover the chip, so I give him credit for that, but I felt he would...

Brush Chipping questions, answered by experts

Pruning bushes will encourage new growth and flowering and keep them hardy. Removing dead and diseased branches is vital to your bush's health. It can also deter pests from infesting your bushes. Not only is it beneficial to the bushes, trimming and shaping them will make your lawn look lush and polished.

Don’t pick up dirt after aerating. Even though it's tempting because soil cores are incredibly unsightly, these cores and the dirt they leave behind are ecologically important. This is what keeps your grass looking beautiful and growing healthily. The soil cores need two to three weeks to decompose, but you can swat them with a rake if their natural shape bothers you.

No, you cannot throw branches from your neighbor’s tree back into their yard, nor can you discard leaves or other plant matter that originated from their yard back over there if it happens to land in your yard. You are responsible for cleaning up plant matter that made its way into your yard.

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.

It takes one to seven days to remove and fill an in-ground pool. The project timeline will depend on the size of the pool and the removal process required in your local area. A partial fill-in may only take up to three days, while a full pool removal may take an entire week.
