Who is responsible for cleaning up debris from someone else’s tree that falls on my property?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

John gave a very fair quote and performed the work in a professional and timely manner. Easy to work with and great communication. The only possible downside is John doesnâ t remove or clean the wood chips area after chipping. No problem for me as I rake them in a pile for future use.

I hired DeVuono to paint the exterior of my house during the summer of 2017. I chose DeVuono because of their commitment to complete the job in 2 weeks (weather pending), and their promise of great communication and detailed work. The first day, a crew comes to my house and power washes it,...

Overall, we were satisfied with the painting job. Flower bed near the house was ruined and the painters used out outside hose to clean painting brushes, which was sort of a surprise, some paint residue ran down the drive.

They did a very nice job. We asked them to leave the main tree logs, which they did, and they mulched all the brush and branches. They also pruned and trimmed up two large trees in our front yard. We will definitely have them come back again.

We purchased pre finished hardwood and carpet. The Rideau's were very attentive during the sales process and the installers were on time for installation. The carpet installation was great....Once the hardwood was completed we were unable to inspect because the floors were covered in wood chips...

Brush Chipping questions, answered by experts

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.

It typically takes six to 12 months for leaves to decompose entirely. The process involves the mulch composting into your lawn to deliver nutrients that facilitate grass growth. The recommended process is to spread a thick layer of leaf mulch over your garden and let it marinate for a few seasons for best long-term results.

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.

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.

Don’t pick up dirt after aerating. Even though it's tempting because soil cores are incredibly unsightly, these cores and the dirt they leave behind are ecologically important. This is what keeps your grass looking beautiful and growing healthily. The soil cores need two to three weeks to decompose, but you can swat them with a rake if their natural shape bothers you.
