I called, Tom gave me an estimate and by mid-afternoon the work was done, all on the same day. I needed some piles of brush cleaned up and Renee and Matt worked in the rain to get the job done. They were prompt, courteous and hardworking. I will be definitely be calling Rubbish Doctor again.

They cut the damaged tree, removed all the branches and even cut the good wood into 2' lengths for me to use, all at a very reasonable price. All of the brush was raked up and the cut wood was even stacked for me. I plan to have them come back to do more cut and trim work soon.

Mr. Byers did exactly what he said he would and was $185 cheaper than another company that provided an estimate for the same work. My wobbly railing is now completely solid and it looks great! He even painted other parts of the railing that were chipped.

Brush Chipping questions, answered by experts

If you are xeriscaping a lawn from scratch, your best bet for preparing the lawn is to work with a xeriscaping specialist in your area. The most common first step to making the transformation, however, will be to remove the turfgrass from your lawn. The subsequent steps will often include amending the soil to support new plants and installing low-drip or drip irrigation systems.

To remove old grass effectively, you typically need to dig to one to two inches. This depth typically allows you to reach the root system of the grass, ensuring thorough removal. However, if the grass is a particularly dense or deep-rooted variety (such as Bermuda grass), or if you're planning to replace it with a different landscaping feature, you may need to dig deeper to loosen the soil and remove any underlying roots.

Services include regular garbage pickup, recycling, and bulk waste disposal options.

Some states have bans on disposing of yard waste in plastic bags in landfills. Yard waste takes up space in landfills and releases methane gas when disposed of improperly. It's best to repurpose it naturally to benefit your garden and the environment.

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.
