"I was very happy with the service we received from All Seasons Tree Service. I called them early in the morning and the owner came right over (within a half hour) to look at our problem. Our trees were in a bad location, growing out of a tree well, and we live up on a bluff with difficult access. One tree had come down 2 days earlier and had fallen on the power lines in front of our house. There was a big mess to clean up from Excel Energy in front of our house next to the road. There was another tree ready to fall that had been growing next to the other tree hanging over our driveway and stairs where people walk and I was afraid it would fall on someone. We talked about cost and gave them the job right away because of their promt attention to the matter. I called them a 7:30 am and within an hour or so the whole crew was at our house. They were so fast and it was a hard job!  They also had to climb up one of our trees in the back yard  (which is huge and high up there) as we can't get any equipment back there and trim branches off of that tree. The guys had to carry all those big limbs down to the truck. I think this big job only took them 21/2 hours including cleanup! Wow! They cleaned everything up except they forgot one big piece of the tree that was hidden under a pine tree. No big deal although I wish they would have brought it with them because it is huge. They did a great job. It was a difficult job as they had to carry pieces of the cut up tree down stairs and also over a 2 tiered retaing wall.  I felt sorry for the guys they were really working hard! They really get down to business! I would for sure use them again!

Garbage Collection questions, answered by experts

Never put glass in the garbage disposal. It can damage your disposal or eject shards of glass out of the disposal and cause injury. If you get broken glass in your garbage disposal, turn it off and cut the power from the breaker, use a tool like pliers or tongs to remove the glass, and use a wet-dry vacuum to remove the remaining glass pieces. If you can’t access the disposal safely, call a garbage disposal repair pro.

Once you have your garbage disposal disconnected, you can remove the mounting bracket by unscrewing the bolts that are holding the bracket. You can back them out just enough to pop off the snap ring, which prevents the bottom portion of the bracket from disconnecting from the top when you unscrew the bolts. Use a regular screwdriver to pop off the snap ring, and the rest of the components should fall off by themselves.

Soil is just one of the items you shouldn't put down a garbage disposal. Garbage disposals are only meant for soft, non-fibrous foods. Large amounts of topsoil, dirt, or rocks will damage the blades of your garbage disposal or clog the pipes. If a small amount of dirt goes down the drain as you repot a plant, you shouldn't have to worry, but never dump a whole pot of soil in the sink for fast disposal.

If your garbage disposal powers up and you can hear it hum, but the arms inside aren’t moving, the problem might be a stubborn clog, a build-up of grease, or a jam of the impeller plate. To troubleshoot these, ensure your unit is off and disconnected from its power source before checking inside the drain or attempting to manually rotate the impeller arms or plate from the underside of the unit. A hex wrench can help.

While the drain connection for a garbage disposal is nearly universal and fits standard sink drain holes of 3 1/2 to 4 inches, the size of the disposal unit itself is not. You must have enough space in the cabinet underneath your sink to accommodate the disposal's housing. A larger model may not fit in a compact cabinet or if the existing plumbing is arranged in an unusual way. Before buying a new garbage disposal, measure the available space under your sink. If you are replacing an old unit, it's often easiest to choose a new model of a similar size.
