I've had Benchmark do painting for us a couple times, and I've been happy with their work and also their warranty (they came back and repainted when we had some chipping). However, this review is for staining. We had benchmark re-stain some stair rails and a door for us, and they look terrible....

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.

Overall, the job went well. The painters arrived on time both days and managed to complete the job in two days. While working on the job, one of the painters noticed that some of the trim had rotted, so Mario was able to provide a carpenter to replace that piece of the trim. This was at an...

The company seems to do granite well but cabinets? Not at all. I should have had a clue when they didn't have the cabinets that were on the web site where the deal was first advertised. Nor were their samples of the cabinets in the store! I still went with the though. They were pretty late...

Brush Chipping questions, answered by experts

If you have a large area of brush and vegetation to clear, forestry mulching may be the best option. This method works well for relatively flat areas that don’t have many large rocks or mature trees to clear. Forestry mulching is a relatively quick process that improves soil health, reduces fire risk, and leaves behind usable mulch.

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

Mature lilac bushes that are large and overgrown are more challenging to remove than small lilac bushes. Large lilac bushes have deeper roots that are more widespread, making it harder to dig them up and remove them. If you don’t dig under and around the primary roots, then you run the risk of the lilac bush growing back. So, it is a time-consuming process if done correctly.

Digging a bush up by the roots is the most natural DIY method for removing a bush stump. Start by identifying the shrub type and revealing its roots. Cut the shrub to its base and loosen the soil, ensuring no utility lines are nearby. Optionally, treat the base with herbicide, then dig around the roots and cut a circle around the shrub using various tools. Dig a trench, cut the base of the root ball, and finally fill the hole to prevent regrowth. This thorough process ensures complete removal without damaging surrounding areas.

No, you cannot throw branches from your neighbor’s tree back into their yard, nor can you discard leaves or other plant matter that originated from their yard back over there if it happens to land in your yard. You are responsible for cleaning up plant matter that made its way into your yard.
