I own and old Victorian home and paint was chipped badly on the Eastside. The few people who I called did not want the job and gave an astronomical price. Gary not only was willing to do the job, he also gave a fair price. I was more than pleased with the final product.

They were a day late in starting and the job was not completed. They did not remove all the trimming or the existing brush pile we agreed on. U fortunaely, I left it up to someone else to pay them.

They had put the chip in and I got them to take it back out again because it was too costly. They originally told me it was a free estimate and when they came out they told me it costs, but I didn't pay anything for it.

Brush Chipping questions, answered by experts

Reducing household waste is the best way to save money on junk removal costs in the long run. Reusable kitchen, pantry, and cleaning supplies will make a large dent, as will creating an easy compost and recycling system in your home. Additionally, create an ongoing practice of recycling, donating, or repurposing items that are ready to go.

To remove old grass effectively, you typically need to dig to one to two inches. This depth typically allows you to reach the root system of the grass, ensuring thorough removal. However, if the grass is a particularly dense or deep-rooted variety (such as Bermuda grass), or if you're planning to replace it with a different landscaping feature, you may need to dig deeper to loosen the soil and remove any underlying roots.

Professionals use appropriate equipment to prevent property damage and ensure efficiency.

An herbicide with glyphosate, imazapyr, or triclopyr kills ivy the fastest. Herbicides inhibit photosynthesis and cell division. They kill the roots and prevent ivy from regrowing. You should apply herbicide to the cut stems and roots of ivy. You can also spray herbicide on the leaves of ivy, but be sure not to spray nearby trees and plants as it can cause them harm.

Foxtail grass is not native to the United States, so it is considered an invasive plant. Giant foxtail originated in eastern Asia, Green foxtail is native to Europe, and Yellow foxtail is native to Eurasia. This grass variety is one of many common invasive plant species that you should keep out of your yard and garden beds as much as possible.
