How can I get rid of a bush with utility lines underneath it?

• <div><p>If you want to remove a bush that’s located on top of utility lines, you’ll need to call your local utility company to determine the best course of action. If you can’t dig out your stump its roots, cutting a bush off at ground level might be the best you can do. Adding a planter over top of the cut branch or planting something else around the stump can cover the area while the stump decomposes.</p></div>

The painting was sloppy especially around the doors, edges and trim. The paint on my doors began chipping within days of the job. I sent an email asking if they could come back and redo the doors but never received a response.

Quality is not a A only because more than expected paint chips from scraping were left behind. Can't get them all but they could have done a little better. Preparation and painting quality, the things that count, were excellent. <br />
