Q: Can removal services include recycling or composting yard waste?

• <div><p>Yes, many services offer environmentally friendly disposal options.</p></div>

Q: What does land clearing consist of?

• <div><p>A land-clearing project begins with assessing and preparing the property and pulling any necessary permits with your municipal building department. Clearing can begin after the project details are ironed out between you and your pro and a written contract is signed. Pros will bring out the necessary equipment and crew to first remove trees, stumps, brush, and vegetation. Your pro will then load up and haul away the project debris, and depending on the project, they may finish by grading the cleared land. </p></div>

Q: Is foxtail grass invasive?

• <div><p>Foxtail grass is not native to the United States, so it is considered an invasive plant. Giant foxtail originated in eastern Asia, Green foxtail is native to Europe, and Yellow foxtail is native to Eurasia. This grass variety is one of many <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/3-invasive-plants-keep-out-your-yard.htm">common invasive plant species</a> that you should keep out of your yard and garden beds as much as possible.</p></div>

Q: How do you clean an overgrown yard?

• <div><p>The best way to clean an overgrown yard is to create a multi-stage game plan, from clearing out the debris to cleaning up the edges around hardscaping and landscape curbing. Get rid of yard debris like worn furniture and broken tools first, then start trimming and raking what&rsquo;s left. Mow the grass, trim the hedges, and rake leaves away. Once that&rsquo;s complete, move on to more detailed work, like pulling weeds and replanting gardens.</p></div>

Q: How do you remove bushes?

• <div><p>The easiest way to remove bushes is first to cut the bush down. You may need to use a handsaw, pruning shears, or a chainsaw for thicker branches. Once you&rsquo;ve removed most of the branches, you can then cut the base of the shrub as low to the ground as you can get. Then, with a shovel, dig around until you expose the roots. Dig out the roots, being careful not to leave any roots in the soil.</p></div>

"
Brady is the best you'll ever find for home remodeling projects.
Showed up on time. Took the time to make ever job right.
Projects were worked on over a number of months, one at a time.

The best and most honest tradesmen I've ever found.
We moved to Texas in January of 2014. We whish Brady could have come with us.
I've found some good (and bad) people to work on the Texas home. But no one who comes close to the quality of work done by Brady Brower.
