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.

I just purchased a house that no one has lived in for a few years and needless to say it was full of junk. <br /> Ben and John came in and took out a couple heavy fridges (one of which was down a shaky set of steps in the dungeon of a basement) as well as a bunch of other trash and brush....

Brush Chipping questions, answered by experts

Skunks like to forage for grubs in the soil, like worms and insects, but they are also tempted by trash and pet food bowls, so keeping these items out of sight may help keep skunks away. Skunks also like to set up a den in dark places, such as a crawl space or outbuilding.

Some things you can do to prepare for yard work services are aerate the soil, fertilize your grass, keep weeds under control, regularly mow your lawn, and water your grass.

Several leaf-removal tools are available to make this annual process easier, including a leaf grabber, leaf tarps, leaf blowers, and leak vacuums. Each piece of equipment works differently, but they all achieve the same goal of picking up leaves as quickly and easily as possible.

We always recommend wearing a protective mask when blowing leaves (as well as goggles if possible). Blowing leaves creates a lot of dust, and in many cases that dust contains a bunch of allergens that can make those sensitive very miserable. Even worse, moldy leaves can contain fungi and bacteria that could make humans as animals very sick. Mask up before starting your leaf project, and if anyone is helping you collect the leaves it’s a good idea if they wear a mask, too.

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.
