Crow Tree Service did an excellent job cleaning up the brush and cutting the partial tree down and cleaning up all the chips. Showed up when he said he would be there and got the job done very fast. We are very satisfied with their work!!!

Chip Diamond (owner) is a polite, professional and friendly man. My "C" rating reflects that 50% of the inspection was fine. The 50% part of the inspection that was subpar, in my opinion, was the roof inspection. He chose not to get on a ladder and visually inspect the roof from the ladder (I...

The walls look nice but the painter left paint spatters on the floor, and a brush mark of the wrong color on a wall. Also paint splatters on the doorframes. I think the company is good but this painter is not. <br />

Brush Chipping questions, answered by experts

Trimming or removing trees promotes safety, prevents interference with structures or utilities, and enhances the aesthetic and health of the property landscape.

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.

The most effective way to remove leaves is to blow them into piles and then bag them. This is faster and more efficient than raking, although it might not be a good idea to use a blower around delicate plants or mulched flower beds. You could leaf blow the bulk of your yard and then rake around garden beds for a quick and easy fall cleanup.

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.

Unless you plan to use a dump trailer for business purposes, it will be hard to justify the cost of buying one. Even a small, used 6-by-10-foot model could set you back as much as $5,000, and larger, high-quality models can cost up to $15,000 to buy brand-new.
