He did an excellent job and was very nice. After he sprayed around our home, inside and out, he took a brush and wiped around the roofline of our house to get that all cleared away. That was something a little extra that was a nice touch! Their products are safe for pets and kids, but effective!...

This business is professionally-run. Anthony quoted me for staining some picket fencing and gates around my backyard. He described how he would do it: spray the stain; back-roll with and small roller (to get more of the stain into the wood fibers); and, use a small brush for working around the...

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.

It was okay. The price is good. The person showed up and painted for six hours. I had to remove all the hardware so it was easy for him to do but less a little mess; we found spots on the wall where he cleaned his brushes on the sink; we found residues there. They were on time. They worked...

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

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.

If you want to take the decomposition process into your hands to speed it up, water and sunlight are key. Of course, you can’t control sunlight yourself, but you can rake leaves into piles in sunny spots in your yard. In terms of using water, you can also moisten the decomposing leaves with water, whether by pouring some from a watering can from time to time or using a hose to moisten them.

Yard waste should be professionally removed at least once per season, particularly during major landscaping projects, fall leaf accumulation, or after severe weather. Regular removal promotes lawn health and maintains a neat exterior.

If you have a large number of leftover roots, shrub branches, rocks, and soil to remove from your stump removal project, you may need to call a professional junk removal service. A small truckload of junk removal costs between $75 and $125 to haul away. You may also have a free composting center in your area where you can haul the materials on your own.

Yes, you can absolutely make your own mulch, and there are a few ways to go about it. First, you can lay down pine needles or mulched leaves if you’re mulching in the fall. In the spring and summer, you can use mulched grass clippings. Alternatively, you can lay down a few layers of newspaper in your garden and gently wet the paper to keep it in place.
