Jand B crew arrived in time, introduced themselves and were very professional, nice guys. The tree was cut down and the wood placed where i instructed them to place it, they left the yard clean and raked. Everything went smoothly the way i like it and i am picky. Good crew leader, took charge when he needed to and his crew worked like a well oiled chain. The stump grounder came later and ground the stomp, was instructed as to what to expect, because we wanted to do the landscape afterwards ourselves. Everything went smoothly, no problems. But surprised at the mountain of dirt and chips of wood that was left behind after the grounding, even after being told so, but we tackle it. The machine operator was a very pleasant and informative type of person, very affable. We are happy with Jand B and i would definitely employ them again, matter of fact i have another tree that i need to call them about it, lol. Thank you Jand B for a job well done i wish everyone else would be just like that!

The workers and the foreman (the one who also discussed the job and estimate with me) had some communication issues and it was a good thing that my husband was there to help supply the tasks that had been discussed (which trees, what brush piles, yes the stumps were to be removed too, etc). They were a little slowed in their tasks by the limitation of only one trailer to remove tree pieces and brush (in their defense, my husband added a lot to the debris pile while waiting to be scheduled with the tree service). Overall, we were happy, 5-6 trees were cut down, hauled away, and the large bush piles were removed, stumps were also removed. The things that could be improved on include better communication between the workers and the person who gave the estimate. Also the estimate with the job details was a little abstract--"we'll clean up all this brush" ended up being a little vague when actually applied by the workers. We have a very wooded lot that has been pretty much left to its own by previous owners. We would use this service again, just be more specific in the details of the job.

He has not only helped to keep my four leggeds strong and healthy but has performed life saving surgery on several of my dogs over the years. One example: I had a dog that shattered the bones in her front paw. One other vet and MSU wanted to amputate. Dr. Andy took the time to research the options by calling vets who specialized in greyhounds, who are prone to this injury. We agreed to give it a try to save her foot/leg and after many hours of surgery, and the removal of over 200 bone chips, the foot/leg was saved and our girl went on to run free and strong for many years!! I just can not say enough good things about this man.

Brush Chipping reviews from real Angi homeowners in Bloomingdale, MI
Thomas and co-worker arrived on time, and set to work right away, and wasted no time in cleaning up the large pile of felled trees, brush and other trash, including 3 very large and heavy concrete porch steps! They really seemed to know exactly what and how to safely, quickly, and efficiently...

I would not have them do it again. I do not think the job was thorough enough because of what they did. They had an air compressor and they blew the ducts out, but they did not have a rotating brush head up in there to knock anything that had affixed to the air ducts itself. That was what...
I think his name was John, we called Jand B and he came by for an appointment and was very professional, did everything by the book, gave me an estimate and we sealed the deal. Jand B crew arrived in time, introduced themselves and were very professional, nice guys. The tree was cut down...

"I was called by this company only minutes after putting the job on Angie's list. Shawn offered to come out the same day to give an estimate on a tree we needed removed. He was there within the short time frame he promised. Once they started the tree removal, I was highly impressed with the work ethic. Neither of them stopped until the job was done. It took two days to complete because it was a large tree, only two men, and the weather was less than optimal, but they were both there on time and ready to work. To me they appeared superhuman from the amount of hard, heavy, laborious work they were able to complete so quickly and safely. Will recommend them to everyone I come across that needs any tree work and will definitely call them for myself if any work needs done in the future."

"We needed a small patio around our firepit. I went online and found a few contractors to get quotes from. Thomas Ortega responded quickly to my email. He and his partner Jose Marquez came out the same week to look at the job. They both were professional and experienced. We received a quote within a day. They had a small window of time available the following week. We hired them and couldn't be happier with the end result. So often when we have contacted a contractor our jobs are too small and we don't hear back from the business. This was not the case. We highly recommend T & J Hardscapes for installing patios!!

Brush Chipping questions, answered by experts
Pressure-treated wood can not only be painted and stained, but it should be; doing so will help to prevent surface or deck board cracking. Allow the wood to dry out before painting it, as pressure-treated wood from the hardware store takes longer to dry than kiln-dried lumber. If water beads on the surface, it needs additional time to dry—in fact, it can take weeks or even months to fully dry. As soon as the wood absorbs water on the surface, it is ready to be painted or stained.
Staining a wood fence isn’t guaranteed to prevent warping, but it can help. Plus, it’s a beginner-friendly DIY project that you can finish in a few days. If you want to try it, you’ll start by stripping it of any old stain or paint, then sanding it. After that, you’ll clean it and spot-treat any mold or mildew. When it’s dry, you can apply the stain.
Yes, you can waterproof any wood that has not already been treated. A good way to test this is to splash some water on it. If the water starts to bead up, the wood is treated and most likely doesn’t need another coating.
Oxygen bleach uses hydrogen peroxide as a base and won’t harm wood when using it as a cleaner. On the other hand, chlorine bleach breaks down wood at the cellular level and causes irreversible harm. Although you may not see immediate damage to wood after exposing it to chlorine bleach, its strength and integrity are now compromised.
A dry lawn is easier to edge than a wet one. When your ground is wet, your blades will likely clump together, making a seemingly even cut while wet, but an uneven disaster when dried. Also, a wet lawn can impact your blade's performance and cause mud to kick up, resulting in a messy finish.
