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.

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 FAQs, answered by experts

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.

DIY is possible for small amounts of waste. Professional services handle larger volumes efficiently.

No. Unfortunately, leaf removal is your responsibility, no matter what tree the leaves come from. It would be pretty hard to regulate leaves since they can be moved by the wind or water. Imagine the detective skills it would take to determine which tree each leaf came from and who was then liable for removing it. Instead, plan to remove any leaves on your property.

Unless it’s rubber or you need to prune suckers and remove weeds, you shouldn’t need to get rid of the old mulch around your tree. Simply push old mulch a few inches away from the trunk of your tree and then top it off with enough fresh mulch to reach 3 to 4 inches in height.

Foxtail grass is not native to the United States, so it is considered an invasive plant. Giant foxtail originated in eastern Asia, Green foxtail is native to Europe, and Yellow foxtail is native to Eurasia. This grass variety is one of many common invasive plant species that you should keep out of your yard and garden beds as much as possible.
