"I hired this contractor in Sturgis, Mississippi to cut the grass at a property that had been sitting vacant. The yard was extremely overgrown and the grass was very tall, so it was a major job from the start. He came out, walked the entire property with me, assessed the condition, and clearly explained his plan for how he would bring everything back under control. He and his team did an outstanding job. The transformation was incredible. What started as an overwhelming project ended up looking clean, neat, and well maintained. After the initial cut, he continued maintaining the lawn for the entire season. He was always on schedule, consistently on time, and the work was done impeccably every single visit. His pricing was fair and affordable, especially considering the size and condition of the job. I truly appreciated his professionalism, reliability, and attention to detail. I highly recommend his services to anyone in need of dependable, high quality lawn care."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

For Bradford pears, damage from storms is common, and if the trunk splits, it can pose a danger to people and surrounding structures. The best thing to do in that instance is to have the tree removed. If there’s only minor damage to the branches, pruning away the damaged parts is the first order of business. You may also want to consult a professional arborist to make sure the tree is healthy.

It may not be worth it to rake every leaf in your yard, but it’s necessary to remove the majority of leaves to prevent them from smothering grass growth on your lawn. However, raking leaves isn’t your only option for leaf removal. You can remove leaves easily with a leaf blower or compost or mulch them with your lawn mower to repurpose them to help grow your garden or yard.

The ideal depth of a tree notch depends on the tree, but it should usually be between 20% and 25% of the tree’s depth. However, if the tree is leaning towards the direction of the notch, it can be cut more shallowly—at as little as 10% of the depth. When the tree is leaning away from the direction it needs to be felled, you can cut deeper, closer to 30%.

Salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, and burning can all help dissolve a tree stump. You can also bury the tree stump in soil or mulch to help it rot naturally. Killing a tree stump prevents future regrowth, but you may also remove it by digging it out or grinding it.

You can use a felling ax to chop down a tree by following the same prep and steps as a chainsaw, but be prepared to use some muscle. For trees bigger than 7 inches in diameter, it can take some time and serious strength to cut down a tree using just an ax.
