"They did an incredible job for me. They were on time and did an outstanding job by aerating my entire lawn and spreading a top soil/compost mix throughout my front and backyard so the grass seed that I put down in between the aeration and the top soil/compost mix will have a better outcome to germinate and thrive this fall and next spring, summer and fall seasons. I was especially pleased with how much the compost was spread throughout my entire lawn areas, nothing was missed by his crew of hard workers. Great job. I will definitely hire this company going forward again and recommend them to people who stop by and always ask me who my landscaper is."
"Antonio was a pleasure to work with. He crossed ten minutes over the Bay Bridge to service me and did an excellent job. Other companies on Angie's List wouldn't cross the bridge so I am grateful. My light yellow siding is clean again and looks great. I highly recommend Antonio."
"Miguel and his colleague arrived on time and got right to business. They did a great job of power-washing the exterior. I'm very pleased with the service and would use them again."
"Everything went well; very good lawn care service. Was responsive and prompt in contacting me. The prices were reasonable and did a thorough job in a short amount of time."
"I have used Freestate Tree Service before, as they always do a great job. This experience was not different. I had to have a dying Tree of Heaven (Ailanthus altissima) removed, approximately 30 feet tall. They promptly responded to my initial e-mail to have them come out and check to see if the tree was able to be saved (it wasn't, which was no surprise) and e-mailed an estimate the next day. The other two companies (one wasn't able to get someone out to look at the tree until 2 weeks from my e-mail) and the one that did stop by gave an over-the-phone quote that was significantly higher. The Freestate guys showed up bright and early to start cutting away at the tree. They always seem to do quite a lot of work in a rather short amount of time. By the afternoon the tree was gone and they were cleaning up."
Sandblasting Services questions, answered by experts
Yes, many professionals use dustless or water-based blasting methods for reduced environmental impact.
Soda-blasting systems are slightly more expensive than sandblasting systems. To soda blast, you’ll need to spend a few hundred dollars for a blast hose and nozzle, a compressed air supply, a blast generator, a moisture decontamination system, and sodium bicarbonate media, a recurring cost because the powder is not reusable. To start with sandblasting, you will need to spend upwards of $30 for a blast pot, a blast gun, an air compressor, and sandblasting media, many of which are recyclable—further reducing the cost. The total cost for either will depend on the size of the system.
Sand is a common sublayer for hardscape features like driveways, paver patios, and more. Most projects that involve sand require a 1-inch layer to promote evenness, drainage, and weight distribution. For further drainage, most projects have a 6-inch minimum layer of gravel beneath the sand.
The disadvantages of sandblasting are noise, mess, and risk. Sandblasters are louder than chainsaws and spread debris on the ground and through the air. Let your neighbors know that you're sandblasting so they can prepare. Sandblasting can damage your property if not done properly, so thoroughly vet any pros you talk to before hiring.
Seal joints, clean debris regularly, and address cracks promptly to maintain appearance and stability.
