We opted to work with this company because it was among the least expensive options, quick response time and the owner claimed to have 40 years experience and had seen it all. The job consisted of a whole 3.200 sq ft home interior paint and, including doors, trim, rails and a garage; some...

The job Dan Dolby did on our home was ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE. He sprayed our trim in most of the rooms rather than using a brush to save time, and therefore got paint on everything around it (like my wood staircase.) No clean up performed; paint lines were sloppy to say the least and he only...

Ramario seamed like he could not keep track of the appointment. I called 3 times on the day of the scheduled appointment . They showed up with the chipper and a full truck. The driver insisted he back over the side walk into the yard with the 7ooo lb chipper and 14 ton truck. Nothing doing. I...

They left some of the chips and took the rest of the wood. The workers were fine. I think it would be much better if there was something on there where they could get your work done within one to two weeks time frame. It's like they get a loan for free for two or three months.

I had them paint my mom's vacant home. We had them paint the 3 upstairs bedrooms, the hall, downstairs hall, dining room, and living room. They didn't do a good job. There were paint splotches on the hardwood floors. The paint brushes were washed out in the kitchen sink and clogged up the drain.

Sealed and glued the useless vent opening in the crawl space. Charged only a few bucks, considering the service call. Chip was friendly, thorough, and professional. We noticed a positive change in in- house air quality that same day. <br />

Brush Chipping FAQs, answered by experts

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.

We always recommend wearing a protective mask when blowing leaves (as well as goggles if possible). Blowing leaves creates a lot of dust, and in many cases that dust contains a bunch of allergens that can make those sensitive very miserable. Even worse, moldy leaves can contain fungi and bacteria that could make humans as animals very sick. Mask up before starting your leaf project, and if anyone is helping you collect the leaves it’s a good idea if they wear a mask, too.

There are several ways to dispose of excess sod, including building a compost pile, taking it to a green waste disposal facility, donating the sod, or reusing it in another part of your yard. It’s a good idea to check with your local municipality to see how to get rid of yard waste, as some areas have local regulations on what can go in the green waste bin. For example, your recycling services may reject too much soil added to green waste.

Using a truck to remove a bush falls into the category of “just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.” While it is possible to use a truck to pull out a bush, if you don’t have the right equipment, if you’re not familiar with attaching things to your vehicle correctly, or if you don’t have enough room, it’s a risky option. To prevent damage to your vehicle, it’s worth using tools made for the job of digging and cutting roots instead.

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.
