They came out gave me a good fair price, the next day they showed up on time tried my trees back off my house and removed all brush. I was well impressed with their work so I would recommend them. I will most definitely be calling them back when I need more work done!

They did a great job, Dan was very nice. The only thing, I would have like for them to have removed the wood chips from the tree stump which they did not do. I ended up raking and spreading the debris or mulch near to where the tree was removed.

Brush Chipping questions, answered by experts

If you have a lot of trees around your home, mulching all those leaves can smother the lawn. Air and light won't reach the grass and soil if too many leaves have been mulched. Turf grass and other lawn problems can arise if the weather is too wet and excessive leaves have been mulched.

This depends on how many leaves there are. Mowing over dry and crisp leaves with a bagging attachment saves most homeowners a lot of time. If you have a smaller lawn and few leaves to mulch, you can put the leaves into a stand-alone mulcher resembling a wood chipper and collect the mulch from a hopper. This prevents having to do multiple passes with a mower.

Branches, leaves, grass clippings, and landscaping debris are typically collected.

If debris from a tree located in a government-owned space (such as a sidewalk, public school, or government property) falls in your yard, it is the city’s or state government’s responsibility to have the debris cleaned up. On the other hand, most states only hold a neighbor liable for cleaning up their tree’s debris if they were negligent in caring for the tree.

Always begin by removing large debris, leaves, and branches from your lawn to make room for the rest of your lawn maintenance checklist. Move on to mowing, weeding, and edging in the spaces between your lawn and garden. Lastly, clean off all hardscapes, porches, and patios for a fresh and tidy appearance.
