"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 questions, answered by experts

Garbage disposals can be considered bad for the environment due to their electricity usage, but good for the environment because they reduce the food waste sent to landfills. If everyone used a garbage disposal, it would tax the wastewater treatment facilities in that region, but if we had to choose one of the options, we’d say they are a net positive on the environment when used correctly. 

If your garbage disposal powers up and you can hear it hum, but the arms inside aren’t moving, the problem might be a stubborn clog, a build-up of grease, or a jam of the impeller plate. To troubleshoot these, ensure your unit is off and disconnected from its power source before checking inside the drain or attempting to manually rotate the impeller arms or plate from the underside of the unit. A hex wrench can help.

Whether it's worth repairing your garbage disposal depends on its age and the specific problem. Generally, if the unit is eight years old or younger, repair is a good option. For minor issues like a bad seal or a simple jam, a repair can be inexpensive, sometimes under $10. However, if the motor is broken (a repair that can cost $150 or more) or the unit is getting old, it's often more cost-effective to replace the entire disposal.

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. 

No, you do not need a garbage disposal to have a dishwasher. A dishwasher will work without one, and while it's rare to see a home with a dishwasher that doesn't have a disposal, it is possible. The two appliances pair well and are often installed together because a disposal simplifies meal cleanup.

However, your dishwasher should not be used as a replacement for a garbage disposal. Subjecting it to continuous food leftovers can lead to major clogs. If you choose not to install a garbage disposal, you should thoroughly rinse your plates or scrape excess food into the trash or a compost pile before loading them into the dishwasher to prevent plumbing issues.
