"Absolutely wonderful service..had front sidewalk and porch removed and replaced with Unilock pavers as well as a border around all trees and flower/shrub beds. Gabriel (owner) was always responsive, pleasant, and easy to reach. Juan and the other employees were prompt every morning and worked until 5-6:30pm. They are the hardest workers, amazing teamwork. They worked despite some rain and excessive heat. Always smiling. I can t say enough about Gabriel and his guys from Mendez Landscaping. I would hire them again in an instant. The results and transformation to our Pingree Grove home was more than we ever expected!!! Thank you, Gabriel, Juan and everyone else. You rock!!!"

"Timbergreen answered all my questions clearly and communicated with me frequently. They removed two large trees and did a great job of cleanup afterward. I felt they really cared about doing a good job and making me a satisfied customer. Their price was very fair compared to other quotes I received. I will use Timbergreen again for other projects."

"Anzo Landscaping, INC is incredible to work with! I hired them to do my fall pick up and they did an excellent job! They responded quickly, did a free estimate, and a few days later we scheduled the pick up! Everyone was super nice, and I am looking forward to continue having them maintain my lawn for the rest of the season, as well as next! Definitely recommend, 10/10!"

Snow Removal questions, answered by experts

Both rock salt and ice melt are naturally occurring salts. Rock salt is sodium chloride, which is the same as table salt. Ice melt products can be made from a combination of salts like magnesium chloride and calcium chloride or can be those salts alone.

Rock salt comes in large crystals, so it helps provide traction on icy surfaces, whereas ice melt products need to be mixed with sand to provide traction. Ice melt products work at lower temperatures than rock salt, so they might be a better choice if you have a harsh winter climate.

It is not advisable to use salt on your roof to prevent or remove ice dams. It’s not only mostly ineffective but can also cause serious damage to your roof itself. Salt can rust metal, damage masonry, pit shingles, and cause runoff that’s damaging to plants and animals. 

While most people associate defrosting icy roads with salt, you can also use sugar for a similar result. Sugar lowers the freezing point of water, melting ice in a pinch.

However, sugar doesn’t melt ice as well as salt because it doesn’t separate the water molecules as efficiently. So, if you need to quickly melt a stubborn patch of ice on your driveway or walkway, it’s best to use salt over sugar for faster results.

Heavy amounts of snow could be a problem. In many climates, lots of snow on your rooftop can lead to freeze-thaw cycle that create ice dams, which can damage rooftops. But if you’re using shingle clips, this snow poses an additional problem: As it melts and freezes, it can easily dislodge clips you’ve placed on your roof.

You can clean snow off your roof after a fresh snowfall while it’s still lightweight, but brushing off snow can also dislodge your clips. If you get a lot of snow, then roof clips become less viable.

Some commercial services use sand when clearing ice, but that’s to add instant traction, not to melt the ice. While you can scatter kitty litter, sand, or similar substances on steps, paths, or porches to improve safety during icy conditions, they won’t help melt hardened ice. Rely on salt or other de-icing methods to fully melt away stubborn ice.
