They get the work done. The clean up was great but they only take the brush and leave the logs. They work pass dark if they start late in the day. If I had known I would have had them start the work earlier in the day. Overall I will hire them again.

While the work was done well, the communication with the contractor was sub par. Contracted to remove 80ft Maple in back yard. He promised to show up on 9/18 but was a no show, eventually stating he got the day wrong. He promised to show up on 9/19 at 9am, so I took off work to wait for him. By...

They trimmed all our trees and cleaned up old brush around a lilac bush. We were very happy with the work they did. This is the third time that we have used their service and they have always done an excellent job for a fair price.

Brush Chipping questions, answered by experts

If you want to remove a bush that’s located on top of utility lines, you’ll need to call your local utility company to determine the best course of action. If you can’t dig out your stump its roots, cutting a bush off at ground level might be the best you can do. Adding a planter over top of the cut branch or planting something else around the stump can cover the area while the stump decomposes.

Trimming a rose bush is similar to cutting back your shrubs or other bushes.

First, you’ll start by removing old, damaged, or diseased branches from the base. Next, thin out the plant's interior by removing thin, weak branches. Finally, you’ll want to cut off buds where the leaves meet the stem.

Trim away using a 45-degree angle, as this will help with water runoff and promote new growth outward.

Yes, many companies recycle concrete, metal, and other materials to minimize landfill waste.

If you don’t remove a bush properly, it’ll come back each year. Removing the root system entirely is the only way to ensure the plant doesn’t have a chance to grow back. You can also use natural weed killers or you can choose to suppress the area with landscaping fabric. Additionally, consider planting alternative, non-invasive vegetation to deter the return of thorn bushes.

Digging a bush up by the roots is the most natural DIY method for removing a bush stump. Start by identifying the shrub type and revealing its roots. Cut the shrub to its base and loosen the soil, ensuring no utility lines are nearby. Optionally, treat the base with herbicide, then dig around the roots and cut a circle around the shrub using various tools. Dig a trench, cut the base of the root ball, and finally fill the hole to prevent regrowth. This thorough process ensures complete removal without damaging surrounding areas.
