My name is Jimmy.\nI take pride in the lawn service I provide and have exceeded the basic expectations of what normal lawn crews provide customers. I've been known on clients properties not only when I show up but even more when I didn't show up with the previous lawn crew I was working for as a supervisor. Now I have started my own and look forward to have everyone grow with me.\n

"I would highly recommend Kershner Trucking for any moving or hauling needs you may have. Excellent service, timeliness, and professionalism. Moving out of my apartment was a task I dreaded doing, but Kershner Trucking made this process simple, efficient, and took a major load off of my shoulders. Outstanding business and I plan to hire services from this company again in the near future."

"When I first called for an estimate, Doug quickly responded and came to my house.  He told me he would get to it "this week".  He and his crew finally showed up almost 2 weeks later - with no communication in the interim.  The crew used a bucket truck as we had discussed - accessing the 3 trees from my neighbors yard as we had agreed.  I began to get a little concerned when I realized they were not using plywood to protect at least where the truck stabilizers were set (another service I've used uses plywood extensively to guard against yard damage; of course, they charge more).  I also was somewhat concerned when they began dropping large branches that often hit my shrubbery.  The shrubs came out reasonably intact, but the holes in the ground from the stabilizers and truck tires will have to be repaired (by me).  They also dropped a large limb on my birdhouse - breaking its back mounting board in half (no offer to fix, etc.).  They sliced through a water hose with the chain saw.  Then when they moved the truck to my driveway to get the large limb, they crushed the drainage inlet at the street, which will require the city to completely replace it.  If they had backed in the way the driveway curves to the street, there would not have been any problem getting to the limb.  Although I saw them driving off the inlet on their first failed attempt to back in the wrong way, I didn't see the damage until they had left.  But I'm sure it was obvious to the guy guiding the truck backwards.  They never mentioned what they had done to me.  All in all, it certainly wasn't worth the savings using this service.  I'll go back to the careful guys next time."

Garbage Collection FAQs, answered by experts

Garbage disposals are durable appliances that usually last at least eight years as long as you clean and maintain them. It’s relatively rare for a garbage disposal to break on its own, as most malfunctions happen due to user errors, like overstuffing the grinding compartment or damaging the blades by trying to dispose of metal or bone. Eventually, cracks or leaks could develop in the unit, which requires a full replacement. 

Never put glass in the garbage disposal. It can damage your disposal or eject shards of glass out of the disposal and cause injury. If you get broken glass in your garbage disposal, turn it off and cut the power from the breaker, use a tool like pliers or tongs to remove the glass, and use a wet-dry vacuum to remove the remaining glass pieces. If you can’t access the disposal safely, call a garbage disposal repair pro.

There are many maintenance and repair issues that lead to a malfunctioning garbage disposal. Regular clogs place wear and tear on the motors, leading to an eventual shutdown. Electrical issues at the breaker, wall outlet, or disposal itself can fry the unit. The most common cause is simply a worn-down motor. These motors can only handle so much use before powering down for good. 

The most common garbage disposal size in the U.S. is 1/2 horsepower. This size is ideal for households with three or fewer people or those that don't produce much food waste. Although 1/2 horsepower can't handle the typical food waste load for a household of four (which is about 250 pounds of food waste annually) as effectively as 3/4 horsepower, it remains the most common size of garbage disposal on the market.

If you cook a lot or have a larger household, a garbage disposal can be worth it, since it streamlines your kitchen duties and helps to keep food waste out of landfills. It helps to know the cost of garbage disposal installation before you make your decision. The average price is about $400, but you can expect to pay more for higher-end models or if you hire a pro to do the job for you.
