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...

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.

Brush Chipping questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Frogs may love your yard and want to take up residence for several reasons. Yards can offer a moist environment or access to water. Frogs also eat insects—your yard may offer a steady stream of their preferred diet, such as grasshoppers, crickets, fruit flies, and more.

Using a leaf blower is often the easiest way to pick up leaves. It quickly and efficiently gathers leaves into manageable piles, requiring less physical effort than manual raking. Additionally, you can choose to bag the collected leaves or use a mulching mower to break them down into natural mulch, simplifying the cleanup process further.

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.
