Who is responsible for cleaning up debris from someone else’s tree that falls on my property?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Called them to re-paint the bathtub after some chipping and they were readily available and fixed and repainted the tub that every weekend we noticed the chipping. The guy who came to the house did a great job at repainting and cleaned up after him.

I hired Bogdan to strip our deck and repaint it. What a terrible job. His power washing only took off 1/4 of the previous paint and he was painting over loose wood chips. In addition, he missed most of the corners and tight slots. The same night we had strips of paint missing from him painting...

It was okay. They showed up on time every single day, but the progress wasn’t there. They just didn’t get everything completed. In the time frame, there was a lot of dead time. I wouldn’t actually call it prep time, but clean up time. They will get about 7 ¼ hours worth of work to be done in a...

Brush Chipping FAQs, answered by experts

Burning yard waste can be an efficient method for large amounts. However, burning has health and environmental risks. Smoke can aggravate respiratory conditions, expose you to carbon monoxide, and cause irritation. Fire produces greenhouse gases and may start wildfires. Minimize risks by burning clean, dry, natural materials. Stay upwind and monitor the fire closely.

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.

Palm tree removal can cost anywhere between $100 and $1,800 depending on palm size, tree condition, labor, location, and the amount of prep work involved. With the necessary skills, a DIY palm tree removal for trees shorter than 15 feet can lower costs. However, it’s generally recommended that you hire a palm tree expert for tree removal.

The most effective way to remove leaves is to blow them into piles and then bag them. This is faster and more efficient than raking, although it might not be a good idea to use a blower around delicate plants or mulched flower beds. You could leaf blow the bulk of your yard and then rake around garden beds for a quick and easy fall cleanup.

If you want to take the decomposition process into your hands to speed it up, water and sunlight are key. Of course, you can’t control sunlight yourself, but you can rake leaves into piles in sunny spots in your yard. In terms of using water, you can also moisten the decomposing leaves with water, whether by pouring some from a watering can from time to time or using a hose to moisten them.
