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

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.

You’ll need to kill the earwigs using traps or insecticides, and then prevent them from entering your home. Make sure you fix leaks and seal up all cracks and crevices. You can use a dehumidifier to cut the moisture and drive earwigs out.

If your dog always does their business in the yard, daily poop pick-up makes sense. The nitrogen in the poop can start making its way into the grass and surrounding soil quickly, a rain shower can send the waste into waterways, and less poop lying around means less chance of stepping on it accidentally.

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.

Reducing household waste is the best way to save money on junk removal costs in the long run. Reusable kitchen, pantry, and cleaning supplies will make a large dent, as will creating an easy compost and recycling system in your home. Additionally, create an ongoing practice of recycling, donating, or repurposing items that are ready to go.
