Preston was timely, nice, and professional. He cleared the brush quickly and left the area clean. Part of our initial discussion was concerning the brush **never coming back**. This was supposed to clear this stuff for good. When it was all done he said if I have any problems with that, call and...

I don't like posting bad reviews and rarely read all of a bad review - and I often take some with a grain of salt where it may appear that the company just had a cranky customer. However, this is not that type of review. I had super high expectations for this company since every review I read...

Very good service, even trimmed some limbs and cleared some brush that was near a power line for free. The only problem I had was contacting Travis over the phone. Was not likely to answer his phone and his voice-mailbox was full.

The technician arrived on time and completed the work in a timely fashion. I used one of the Angie Big Deals ($150 value for $88) and once they were here, learned they have 2 cleaning prices based on size brush they use ~ one for $88 and the other for $150. I was disappointed that our house...

Prep and scraping were minimal at best and they proceeded to stand on ladder with an extension pole. Paint is super thin where there is bare wood. You have to paint trim with a thick brush to get enough paint to fill cracks and imperfections, and they said that's the way they were taught. The...

The technician/worker who came to my home took twice as long to complete the work as anticipated. His reason for extra time was "he forgot I wanted the tub to be white to match the toilet so he had to apply the color a second time". I didn't discuss any other colors with this gentlemen so I...

Brush Chipping questions, answered by experts

Hiring a leaf removal company is a reliable way to get rid of a lot of leaves in your yard. Some companies offer a full range of yard cleaning services, while others may only haul away the leaves you gather and bag yourself. If you prefer the DIY route, you can try mulching leaves with your mower, using a leaf blower to collect them, using a leaf tarp to bag them, and more.

Some things you can do to prepare for yard work services are aerate the soil, fertilize your grass, keep weeds under control, regularly mow your lawn, and water your grass.

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.

Yes, many pros leave clippings, as they break down quickly, enhancing your lawn’s nutrient profile without extra effort from you.

No, it’s not necessary to remove all the leaves from your lawn—in fact, leaving some behind can be beneficial. While it's important to clear thick layers of leaves that can smother your grass, leaving a light scattering of leaves can help feed your soil while also providing safe winter habitat for pollinators like bumble bees. Leftover leaves will eventually break down, enriching the soil and promoting healthy lawn growth.
