We’ve got two dogs and a cat — or as I call it, a fur-nado. These cleaners came in, vacuumed, swept, and brushed every inch. Even the pets looked confused.

John assured me he had painted kitchen cabinets several times and this was very routine for his team. They missed a few spots and had to come back a week later. No problem. Then after a month the paint started to chip and discolor. Initially he said he'd come fix the issue, then after 3 weeks of...

EJ from Rock Doctor was great! He communicated via text as to his time of arrival, and got the job done quickly and to perfection. He repaired a chip on our quartz counter top, and a chip in our ceramic floor. I can't find either of them, as they blend exactly with the existing finish.

Brush Chipping FAQs, answered by experts

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.

In general, you can prune up to one third of the height of most shrubs without damaging them. There are a few exceptions to this rule: Pine shrubs, for example, can’t be trimmed below the point of new growth without damaging them.

Unless it’s rubber or you need to prune suckers and remove weeds, you shouldn’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.

If debris from a tree located in a government-owned space (such as a sidewalk, public school, or government property) falls in your yard, it is the city’s or state government’s responsibility to have the debris cleaned up. On the other hand, most states only hold a neighbor liable for cleaning up their tree’s debris if they were negligent in caring for the tree.

DIY is possible for small amounts of waste. Professional services handle larger volumes efficiently.
