the only issue is they left a bit of a mess that we had to clean up: paint chips and debris. Not a huge deal but we had to get a wet/dry vac to get all the paint chips out of lawn, as we have free range chickens and didn't want them to get sick on the paint chips.

Remove household junk, construction debris, yard waste, and old appliances.

Excavators work in tandem with dump trucks to haul away excess dirt and soil. The excavator will dig into the ground and move the excess dirt into a pile. Using a backhoe, the specialist can fill a truck with excavated soil from that pile. They will then drive the truck to a different location where they can dump the material.

It’s possible to go too far trimming your bushes or hedges. If you overdo it, you may kill the plant. Stick to trimming about a third of the branches on your bush each season to prevent over-cutting. If your hedge is overgrown and needs a heavy trim, avoid cutting off the main branches that make up the top of the bush.
