Tom may be a good exterior painter but would not recommend him for interior work. No pre-paint prep, did not even wipe down cabinets so paint easily chipped and pealed off. Multiple runs on cabinet bases. The first time he painted the doors the side edges of most were not covered (wood...

KC wavered on the cost. He gave one estimate over the phone then came to the house and provided a higher estimate. But after starting the work, KC wanted even more money. It felt like he came in deceptively low to get the job, but tactically raised the price after starting the work. He seems to...

Brush Chipping questions, answered by experts

Trimming or removing trees promotes safety, prevents interference with structures or utilities, and enhances the aesthetic and health of the property landscape.

To remove old grass effectively, you typically need to dig to one to two inches. This depth typically allows you to reach the root system of the grass, ensuring thorough removal. However, if the grass is a particularly dense or deep-rooted variety (such as Bermuda grass), or if you're planning to replace it with a different landscaping feature, you may need to dig deeper to loosen the soil and remove any underlying roots.

Many tools are effective in helping you remove hedges. While heavy machinery is likely the best option for making quick work of hedge removal, your trusty hand spade shovel is probably the next best. Use a spade shovel to dig around the hedge and break roots as you go with the tool. Your spade is also useful for getting deep underneath the root ball, so you can insert a pry bar to help lift the plant.

Services include regular garbage pickup, recycling, and bulk waste disposal options.

Overall, artificial turf maintenance isn’t time- or labor-intensive, especially compared to natural lawns. To clean artificial grass, you can start by raking away any organic debris, like leaves and dirt, that have blown in from somewhere else. Then, break out the hose to take care of most messes that are left over.
