This was a great company. They were on time, thorough and did not take too long to get the job done. We've had minimal dust and wake up without a stuffy nose. Also, they use a whip in the fireplace to go up the shaft, this is better than the brushes most companies use which miss the corners!

They left a pile of wood mulch chips from the stump piled against our wood fence. This will rot the wood fence over time if our neighbor does not move it. I consider this a lack of care regarding surrounding properties when performing their task.

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.

According to the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, there are over 10,000 kinds of mushrooms, and some are harmful to both humans and animals. However, not all mushrooms are harmful—some feed on thatch and wood, which provides nutrients for grass and plants.

But unless you’re a mushroom expert (mycologist), it can be hard to tell poisonous mushrooms from non-poisonous. So if you have kids or pets (or both), removing them is the safest route to take.

Experts remove leaves methodically, preventing mold and allowing sunlight to strengthen grass, promoting robust growth.

Depending on the method you choose to remove grass, it may or may not matter whether the grass is wet or dry when you perform the task. A dryer lawn will be easier to negotiate with a sod cutter, especially if you're not planning to reuse the turf. However, using a shovel by hand might be a little easier if the ground is slightly damp but not so much that it sticks to the tool.

Wood is a very versatile material, so you can either compost it, use it for firewood, turn it into wood chips, or save it for future projects. If you don’t want excess wood cluttering your garage or workspace, you can call local community centers or schools to see if they have a need for it.
