"At the start, Desi did a great job with my yard. Subsequently, he has been very non-communicative and somewhat rude. He has not been very responsive when I have texted him questions. There were issues with some of the work he was doing so I wanted him to come when I was home. I also wanted him to come on a monthly timeframe. After that, he didn't come at all. I have tried reaching him only to be told to send me my address and he would get back to me. He never did. I don't recommend using their services."

Leaf Removal questions, answered by experts

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. 

Probably the most cost-efficient way to remove a tree stump is to use Epsom salts, which help accelerate the rotting process making it easier to remove by hand once nature has taken its course. Burning a tree stump doesn’t tend to cost much either, but is a riskier DIY method.

Yes, you will want to confirm that the tree removal company is properly insured before proceeding with hiring them for the job. Look for a tree service company with both general liability and workers’ compensation insurance to protect you and your home from potential damages. Do not hire a tree removal company that cannot provide proof of insurance.

Some fast-acting products can rot a tree stump in four to six weeks. Keep in mind, these products contain harsh chemicals that may prevent regrowth in the area. Other products, like fertilizer that contains lots of nitrogen, can enhance the process and rot a stump in about a year. (This is compared to the ten years it can take naturally for a stump to rot.)

Burning a single palm tree stump, if you’re careful, is technically doable DIY. However, you should always take precautions to control the fire and do research if you’re burning multiple types of trees. 

Some trees, such as ornamental trees, black cherry, and some oak trees, release toxins into the air when burned that can be irritating to your lungs (or even dangerous) to breathe in.
