Fabulous job! Punctual, courteous, very effective cleaners, friendly, and nonjudgmental. They cleaned everything I asked and more. They were considerate of our pet beagle too. My house needed deep cleaning; it just got away from me and I didn’t catch up. I’m glad I called Deep Dive Cleaning...

Jesse did an awesome job on my project. He shows up on time and won’t quit until it’s done. No matter how hot it is or how dirty the work gets. There has been zero cracking or chipping. Top notch job at a fair price.

Terry was meticulous with both the paint job (including area prep) and the post-job clean-up. He applied an additional third coat to one door when he was not happy with the 2nd coat coverage without prompting from me and without an additional charge.

It was some trimming up work. They removed another couple of trees and trimmed down some other away from the road. They are great. They come in and they do their thing and they leave. The second time I had a bunch of brush I had out for the city to pick up and they just threw in their stuff....

Brush Chipping 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.

It’s possible to over-mulch leaves. If the leaf mulch is thick enough that it’s blocking and smothering the grass, that’s a problem. Ideally, you should still be able to see the grass when you’re done mulching to ensure its ability to continue growing. The solution is to make another pass at the top layer of leaf mulch to collect some of the top layer.

Trimming or removing trees promotes safety, prevents interference with structures or utilities, and enhances the aesthetic and health of the property landscape.

If you have a large number of leftover roots, shrub branches, rocks, and soil to remove from your stump removal project, you may need to call a professional junk removal service. A small truckload of junk removal costs between $75 and $125 to haul away. You may also have a free composting center in your area where you can haul the materials on your own.

Digging a bush up by the roots is the most natural DIY method for removing a bush stump. Start by identifying the shrub type and revealing its roots. Cut the shrub to its base and loosen the soil, ensuring no utility lines are nearby. Optionally, treat the base with herbicide, then dig around the roots and cut a circle around the shrub using various tools. Dig a trench, cut the base of the root ball, and finally fill the hole to prevent regrowth. This thorough process ensures complete removal without damaging surrounding areas.
