"I signed an agreement but was never given a copy of that contract after numerous requests. Verbal contact with the business owner told me I did not sign up for stump removal. One note that came to me on Angie's from the office(?) did list stump removal, but I was accepting of the denial because the tree was very large. However due to very bad weather on the day the tree was removed (without any notification that they were coming) caused them to skip the last cut which then had to be done by the stump grinder for an extra charge. Also the trimming of the ash tree was not done in full because of the storm. In their defense, the tree was taken out with no damage to the property and hauled away to my satisfaction."

Rototilling questions, answered by experts

When leveling the ground for a pool. If the ground is mostly level, you may be able to simply lay down pavers or pool pads to support the pool. However, you’ll still need to level the ground with sand as a base before adding other materials on top, like crushed gravel.

Grading refers to the sloping of your yard away from your house’s foundation. It’s a landscaping term you probably know well if you’ve ever had to push your lawn mower up a steep slope.

Leveling is the solution to grading issues since it involves making your yard flat and smooth (and easy to push a lawn mower through).

Yes, you can rent a rototiller for around $60 per day and do the work yourself, but it’s not recommended. Tilling is more of an art than a science, as tilling too deep can be detrimental to your soil structure and the organic matter that is beneficial to plants and shrubs, and tilling too shallow won’t properly introduce fertilizer or break up the soil for rooting plants. Additionally, tillers are powerful machines with sharp blades to cut through small roots and soil, so they are inherently dangerous to use. It’s usually worth it to hire a professional rototiller.

Ensures proper drainage and ground stability, preventing soil erosion and foundation issues.

While parts of the appraisal are out of your control, there are some things you can do to potentially raise the home’s value. You can make necessary repairs and upgrades before the appraiser visits—an appraiser can only value what is currently part of the home, not its potential. You can also provide the appraiser with the cost of recent upgrades. The appraiser will likely increase the value of your home by about 50% or more of what you paid for those improvements.
