"AJC Home Services was here this morning about 8:30 to cut down 12 very tall Evergreen trees. I watched them do this and it was very interesting to see the whole process. The 2 gentlemen were professional, hard working and thorough. They had them all cut down along with the clean-up in under 90 minutes. The stump grinding crew are on their way, as I write this to complete the job."

I recently became a new father to a baby boy and decided it would be best for my wife to be a stay at home mom and focus on her small business. I work 50+ hours a week at my full time job and just want some side jobs to do to make some extra cash and hope fully this turns into having regular customers and the start of a business for myself. We don’t really have much extra spending money to do fun things that a family should so I’m trying to fix that a little bit. I’m not the best at everything but I will try my best to learn and do the best that I can at anything I do. If you decide to hire me to do some work I will put all my effort into what I do. Thank you!

My teacher told me I was an apprentice about 2 years ago, however I had already known how to paint and cut fantastic. Knew things come easy to me, for example welding, that is combined with the best instructor is why I know how to do so much more than painting and welding. I can diagnose or replace water heaters and furnaces. If the water heater tank doesn't leak, it can be fixed. I can remodel bathrooms with ease. Even relocating everything in the bathroom or making entire second bathrooms. I love siding. Still need practice on kitchens. I can do new trim baseboards, casing, crown molding, and quarter round. Can repair drywall. I can fix or build stairs, along with fence repair or installation. Of course always ready to do, mowing, raking, and landscaping. Feel free to message me for any of the tasks listed maybe even more. I would say its all the same to me but I really enjoy painting and replacing furnaces, but am not picky. All good work for good pay is good work for good pay to me.

Lawns questions, answered by experts

Although core aeration is overall a better method of aerating a lawn, spike aeration can still be helpful, especially if you have a smaller yard or are only trying to work on a specific problem area. Because spike aeration is so accessible thanks to its lower cost and easy DIY tools like aerator shoes, it can still be worthwhile for some gardeners.

Short answer: yes. Although aeration is beneficial for most lawns and soil types, if it’s done too frequently, you can weaken the grass’s roots so much that they’ll begin to have trouble. Generally, most lawns can be aerated as infrequently as once every one to three years, although those with more foot traffic and compaction may benefit from aeration up to twice yearly.

Yes, you can overseed your lawn without aerating it, but results may vary. If you have the time, dethatching or aerating your lawn before overseeding will yield the best results. Overseeding your lawn without aerating will work, but less seed will take root. For the best possible results, aerate your lawn before overseeding it.

There are several possible reasons why your Bermuda grass is not thick, with the biggest reasons being too little water, too much shade, compacted soil, drainage issues, and too few nutrients in the soil. Bermuda grass needs frequent and direct sunlight to stay thick, so thinning grass is likely the result of a lack of sun. 

When it comes to combatting the effects of soil compaction, core aeration does a far better job for a longer period of time—because it actually removes dirt rather than just pressing holes into it. By taking dirt out from under your lawn, core aeration allows more light, air, water, and nutrients to penetrate into the soil below and help your grass’s roots grow even stronger.
