"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

No, you do not need a garbage disposal to have a dishwasher. A dishwasher will work without one, and while it's rare to see a home with a dishwasher that doesn't have a disposal, it is possible. The two appliances pair well and are often installed together because a disposal simplifies meal cleanup.

However, your dishwasher should not be used as a replacement for a garbage disposal. Subjecting it to continuous food leftovers can lead to major clogs. If you choose not to install a garbage disposal, you should thoroughly rinse your plates or scrape excess food into the trash or a compost pile before loading them into the dishwasher to prevent plumbing issues.

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.

Garbage disposals are durable appliances that usually last at least eight years as long as you clean and maintain them. It’s relatively rare for a garbage disposal to break on its own, as most malfunctions happen due to user errors, like overstuffing the grinding compartment or damaging the blades by trying to dispose of metal or bone. Eventually, cracks or leaks could develop in the unit, which requires a full replacement. 

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.

These appliances certainly increase the number of things allowed down the drain, but they’re not foolproof. There are several items you shouldn’t put in your garbage disposal, according to manufacturers and technicians. Don’t put coffee grounds down the drain. The same goes for eggshells, potato peels, hard foods, onion skins, and any dry, expandable food. Most importantly, never put grease or oils down the drain.
