Cut down a bunch of brush and bushes. Cleaned up a huge mess at my new home before I moved in. Did a fantastic job. Was prompt and well mannered. Went above and beyond to clear out a huge jungle mess!

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...

I called Mike midday on Thursday, he came out later Thursday to give me an estimate, and then started promptly Friday morning. He is a fast worker and does a very good job. His sons came later and hauled away the two very large brush piles. They cleaned up neatly. Great job, highly recommended!

Brush Chipping questions, answered by experts

Yes, most services include removing grass clippings and yard waste. Confirm with your provider.

The growth of tall fescue grass often causes clumps of grass in your lawn. Avoid pulling up the clumps, as it won’t effectively remove them. Instead, dig out clumps and their roots when you notice them early in the growing season. Herbicides can also treat grass clumps, but they can also affect other plants you might not want to kill, so use them sparingly and always follow manufacturer instructions.
