Amazing work. John the owner measured our property himself and cleared the brush when other companies told us to do it ourselves. He was very professional, honest and meticulous. Both John and his team gave us a beautiful fence. We highly recommend Country Fence and Deck!

Most importantly the two workers did a great job. Did not skimp on the material, so all of the cracks were filled with the sealant as the brush went over them. Had a minor problem with the scheduling due to the company using a new email reminder system. Most importantly would use again

Brush Chipping FAQs, answered by experts

Services include regular garbage pickup, recycling, and bulk waste disposal options.

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.

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.

Some things you can do to prepare for yard work services are aerate the soil, fertilize your grass, keep weeds under control, regularly mow your lawn, and water your grass.

No, it’s not necessary to remove all the leaves from your lawn—in fact, leaving some behind can be beneficial. While it's important to clear thick layers of leaves that can smother your grass, leaving a light scattering of leaves can help feed your soil while also providing safe winter habitat for pollinators like bumble bees. Leftover leaves will eventually break down, enriching the soil and promoting healthy lawn growth.
