"All work performed was on our front lawn.We had called around to get a few quotes to compare before we settled on Elliott's Sprinkler. They were by far the most professional of the 3. The first one didn't even measure the yard, and never even called us back with a  quote. The 2nd guy did the foot measuring method. While I understand he may have had lots of experience, it still left me a bit unsure. Elliott's Sprinkler sent out Mike. He was very professional. Listened to what I wanted. Then measured out the yard with a measuring wheel. He said we would have a quote for me within 24 hours and would like to some back out and go over it. I only ended up with 2 quotes to work with. The second of the 3 quotes I received the next day. And then Mike came out the next day to go over his quote. Although Elliott's was a little more I still thought they would be the best choice. And I was right. They started out with a blank canvas. 

We had a weed lawn so we had killed everything and had just dirt left. Unfortunately for them we had not watered in quite a while, so when they started digging for the sprinkler lines and drainage, they might as well have been digging in concrete. But I have to say the 2 guys doing the work didn't complain. And man they worked their butts off. It was hot and they kept at it. The first day they got the whole sprinkler system and drainage line done. Next day they started rototilling the ground to prep and level it for sod. I really felt bad that the ground was so hard. Took them a while to get it done and leveled. But again they worked hard with no complaints. By the end of the second day the ground was leveled and ready for sod. They also planted the 24 gallon Blossoming Pear tree. The 3rd day they showed up. The sod was delivered earlier that morning. They got to work quickly. Before I realized it they had the sod down, and had all the plants set in the ground, and the ground cover in place. It was such a transformation. We had not had grass in over a year, and suddenly we did. They finished up and then cleaned up their mess.

When they left, you wouldn't have even known they were there, except for the wonderful yard they left behind. I would like to say that John and his brother did a fantastic job. I will be requesting them when we are ready to do more work.A few days later the curbing guys came out to do the curbing. The curbing is done by a sub-contractor. They did a great job, but the messed up the sod a bit and had moved a lot of the mulch and buried it while doing the curbing. I called Elliott's to see if they could sell me more of the mulch so I could replace it. The next day Dan the owner himself, showed up. He gave me the mulch at no charge and even fixed the areas of sod they had messed up. They really went above and beyond in my opinion to give a great service. I would highly recommend them for any work your going to need. (FYI: Do the concrete curbing work first. We did it backwards, but in the future will be getting all that work done before we lay the sod.) We are going to have them do our backyard as soon as we are ready.

As side note. Please remember that the people who are doing work for you are just that.. PEOPLE. I have seen some people treat workers like this, like they are beneath them. These guys works hard for what they earn. And the last thing they need is someone treating them like they are something less than human. Respect can go a long way towards making this world a better place. It all starts with you. Thanks for reading this and have a great day."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

The Christmas tree type that smells the best to you will ultimately depend on personal preference. But if that classic Christmas tree smell is important to you, choosing a type of tree known for its scent is a safe bet. Try a balsam fir for a spicy, comforting scent or a Douglas fir for a sweeter smell. You may also like Fraser firs, Scotch pines, and blue spruces.

Pruning a tree is a yearly DIY job that involves removing small dead branches, leaves, and blooms to help the tree grow bigger and stronger. You can often complete the job with basic home gardening tools. Trimming a tree, however, removes larger sections to control the direction the tree grows in and protects your home, utility wires, and yard from potentially dangerous branches.

Many consider the Fraser fir to be the most popular type of Christmas tree, but which type of tree sells out near you can depend on region and decorating trends that year. For example, the Leyland cypress is especially popular in the Southeast, according to the National Christmas Tree Association.

Ideally, you’ll have a good enough relationship with your neighbors that you can kindly mention this task in regular conversation. However, every neighbor (and neighborhood) is different. Your best bet will always be to ask directly and nicely, offering to contribute to the tree trimming efforts if you’d like. However, if you are bothered by the tree and your neighbor is unwilling to cut it, you can involve the help of the homeowners’ association or local authorities, if applicable.

If you’re looking to rot a tree stump fast, potassium nitrate will work far quicker than copper nails. First, drill several holes into the stump using a power drill, then pour potassium nitrate pellets into the holes. Next, add water to help the chemical absorb into the wood, thoroughly soaking the stump to ensure the pellets dissolve and spread evenly. Afterward, cover the stump with a tarp to retain moisture and block sunlight, then place mulch on top to secure it in place.
