Rich spread wood chips from a huge tree stump that was ground up. He had it done in a timely manner and at a reasonable cost. He also did a great cleanup job. I would recommend his services.

I hired Rafael to cut down huge shrubs and trim up another large shrub. He did an excellent job and removed all the brush. I felt very comfortable working with him and he explained everything in detail and did exactly as he said he would. I would hire him for a future landscaping project!

I was quoted $300 to do job. I only used them because they had all positive reviews on Angies List. They came on the day we agreed upon and sealed the driveway. It was dry when I came home so I was able to quickly see the poor workmanship. There was one area near the garage that did not dry...

Don’t use this company! You’ll get what looks like a fair or low price, and you’ll be sorry later. Had them paint my house and barn the summer of 2017. We’ve owned our house since 1980, and, until now, I’ve painted the house and barn every 6 or 7 years with some help from my wife. Getting too...

Brush Chipping questions, answered by experts

Yes, most services include basic site cleanup and proper disposal of debris, which may include hazardous materials. It is always best to confirm the specifics with your provider.

An herbicide with glyphosate, imazapyr, or triclopyr kills ivy the fastest. Herbicides inhibit photosynthesis and cell division. They kill the roots and prevent ivy from regrowing. You should apply herbicide to the cut stems and roots of ivy. You can also spray herbicide on the leaves of ivy, but be sure not to spray nearby trees and plants as it can cause them harm.

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.

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.

Remove household junk, construction debris, yard waste, and old appliances.
