"Terrific!  Nate and Colin came when expected and worked hard to weed, mulch and edge the flower borders, herb garden and shrub areas.  There are a lot on this small property.  They also turned over the vegetable garden and prepared it for spring planting.  We appreciated the way that Nate sought to provide quality service but yet tried to save money by avoiding unnecessary activities.  His cost was less than his estimate for this work.

"All the ratings for Black Majic Sealcoating are 5 stars. They return calls quickly, arrive on time, good price, begin work when scheduled, use top of the line materials (and do not skimp on them either) and apply rubber grout and sealant uniformly. Great job and we are very pleased. We highly recommend Black Majic Sealcoating for your driveway repair and sealing."

"I think they treated the wrong lawn. The note they sent me via text message referenced trees and shrubs in my yard, I have none. They also did not leave a yard marker showing they had been there. Otherwise, this would have been a 5 star review."

"Ryan is a very hard and careful worker. My deck was pulling away from the house. He knew to brace the deck, remove old worn wood and replace it with pressure treated. It as a very tough job and took to days but he got it done and the deck is like new."

"Brian was able to swiftly identify the issue I was having with a leak in my roof and was able to repair a spot in my ceiling that had been been damaged by the leak. He explained everything clearly along the way and was very thorough. Everything about the experience was very positive. I will definitely have Brian back to do a few other jobs I have."

"Excellent job! Dave was the first to quote the job and had a better price. He came with crew on time and finished everything I'd requested in one full day as quoted! The work involved extensive tree and brush removal as well as trimming branches to open up view corridors. I wholeheartedly recommend Dave. If he quotes you a job, he will deliver."

Lawns questions, answered by experts

There are several ways to decompose yard waste quickly. The first step is to move all debris into a compost bin or pile. From there, microorganisms, bacteria, and insects will break down the yard waste into compost. To speed things up, shred the waste into smaller pieces, add live worms to the pile, or introduce nitrogen-rich compost accelerators like grass clippings, coffee grounds, and manure. Turn the compost over every few days. This process, called aerating, allows oxygen to get in and accelerate decomposition.

The time it takes for leaves to decompose can range from six months to three years. Key factors influencing the decomposition rate include water, sunlight, and heat, so local weather conditions play a significant role. Decomposition will take longer for thick, matted layers of leaves. To speed up the process, you can mulch the leaves, as smaller pieces break down faster. Spreading large piles into thinner layers to increase exposure to sunlight and water also helps accelerate decomposition.

To eliminate waste without polluting, consider whether it can be recycled, reused, or donated. However, hazardous waste, such as chemicals or electronics, requires special handling and disposal to prevent it from polluting landfills. Organic waste can be composted or converted into fuel at a biogas generation facility.

The fastest way to rid your yard of pesky stickers or burs is to go mechanical on them with a lawn mower or garden rake. Use a lawnmower with a bagger attachment to avoid spreading the seeds around and causing a bigger issue. If you choose to rake the stickers off the plants, be sure to dispose of them properly. Avoid putting them in with the composting and check local guidelines for disposing of lawn waste.

A standard home lawn mower with sharp blades can handle a thin layer of leaves without issue. You may need to make a couple of passes within several days to mulch leaves down, but your mower shouldn’t struggle. If your mower comes with a mulching kit, like an attachment to blow leaves out the side, that’s a good sign it’s ready for fall leaves. Set your mower to the highest or near-highest height for this project so it focuses on the leaves rather than the grass below.
