Q: What do I do if my neighbor is complaining about dead trees?

• <div><p>Your neighbor is not in a good position to know if your trees are truly dead or pose any kind of danger. That&rsquo;s why hiring an arborist or tree service expert can be such an important part of the process. If the trees are still alive and don&rsquo;t pose any threat, you&rsquo;re in the clear (but you may want to document and photograph everything in case events turn sour down the road).</p><p>But if a tree is visibly dead and near the property line, you should remove it to be safe. If a dead tree falls on a neighbor&rsquo;s property, they may have grounds to sue for negligence. If any branches on trees have died, it&rsquo;s a good idea to cut them back for similar reasons.</p></div>

Q: How do you make yard waste decompose faster?

• <div><p>There are several ways to decompose yard waste quickly. The first step is to move all debris into a compost bin or pile. From there, microorganisms, bacteria, and insects will break down the yard waste into compost. To speed things up, shred the waste into smaller pieces, add live worms to the pile, or introduce nitrogen-rich compost accelerators like grass clippings, coffee grounds, and manure. Turn the compost over every few days. This process, called aerating, allows oxygen to get in and accelerate decomposition.</p></div>

Q: How do I landscape my front yard on a budget?

• <div><p>The best way to landscape your front yard on a budget is to invest in hiring a professional for hardscaping&mdash;things like upgrading walkways, redoing driveways, and installing partitions around garden beds. You can often do the softscaping yourself&mdash;think laying down mulch, caring for your lawn, removing weeds, and planting flowers and shrubs. It&rsquo;s also almost always worthwhile to pay a professional for routine yard maintenance, as this dramatically improves curb appeal and delivers above 100% ROI in most cases.</p></div>

Q: Is it okay to blow leaves into a river or canal?

• <div><p>While a river may seem safer than the street, blowing leaves into the water can cause a lot of problems. Leaves can alter the local ecosystem, encourage bad algae growth and block narrow waterways. In large numbers, leaf debris can lead to fish death events in nearby bays or lakes and require expensive dredging to address. That&rsquo;s why many cities also ban blowing leaves into water. </p></div>

Q: Should I get rid of old mulch around my tree?

• <div><p>Unless it&rsquo;s rubber or you need to prune suckers and remove weeds, you shouldn&rsquo;t need to get rid of the old mulch around your tree. Simply push old mulch a few inches away from the trunk of your tree and then top it off with enough fresh mulch to reach 3 to 4 inches in height.</p></div>

"Jake with Storm Irrigation is extremely knowledgeable, trustworthy, and dependable. We bought a new house and he has installed both the lawn sprinkler system and the outdoor landscaping lights. Both work excellently, and the lighting is arrestingly beautiful…well worth the investment. Jake gets the work done reliably and fast, very low maintenance, and is a perfectionist. I highly recommend Storm Irrigation to everyone. (Most recently): I’ve now purchased everything that Storm Irrigation offers, from sprinkler system to landscaping lights to rain gutter drainage system and now a bubbling rock. All are outstanding. Jake installs everything quickly and thoroughly with no hassles. If I need a service call, it is handled quickly and the problem is fixed right away. The prices are fair and the company is very trustworthy. What I first said 10 months ago (above) is still true today: You can’t go wrong with Storm Irrigation."
