Kevin and his team were a pleasure to work. It was easy to communicate what I needed and the work they did was very good (brush and spray) with no mess to clean up after. The amount of prep time that the team put in before painting was a pleasant surprise. Somehow he got the work done in 2 days...

Crew showed up one hour late and did not message to say they were delayed, nor did the owner respond to phone calls or texts. Painters were not neat and ended up spraying my dining room furniture with paint from the roller brush because they did not cover the table with a dropcloth.

I was very pleased with it and was impressed by the speed at which it got done!! There are a few places on the windows where they didn't removed some of the loose paint underneath, but I think the undercoat paint they used was like glue so hopefully it won't start to peel off. Also, because the...

The power-washing was ok. The provider cleaned the exterior but we did not see a marked improvement. We were also hoping much of the chipping paint would come off during the washing to help us when we go to paint, but it didn't. They also cleaned around the doors and windows, but because our...

The one complaint I have is that the gentlemen doing the work were not so maticulous with the paint brush. The paint job as not so great and a little shotty & sloppy, I had to touch up some of the doors and the frames myself. Overall, great job on the doors, but just an average job on the paint...

Brush Chipping questions, answered by experts

Burning yard waste can be an efficient method for large amounts. However, burning has health and environmental risks. Smoke can aggravate respiratory conditions, expose you to carbon monoxide, and cause irritation. Fire produces greenhouse gases and may start wildfires. Minimize risks by burning clean, dry, natural materials. Stay upwind and monitor the fire closely.

You can choose between weekly leaf removal services throughout the fall or a single cleanup at the end of the season. If you want to maintain a pristine lawn, weekly service is a good idea to keep up with falling leaves. Alternatively, if you prioritize saving money, you can wait until all or most of the trees on your property are bare and pay for a one-time service. In most areas, this is typically in early to mid-November. While a single service is more budget-friendly, your yard will not remain leaf-free for the entire season.

According to the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, there are over 10,000 kinds of mushrooms, and some are harmful to both humans and animals. However, not all mushrooms are harmful—some feed on thatch and wood, which provides nutrients for grass and plants.

But unless you’re a mushroom expert (mycologist), it can be hard to tell poisonous mushrooms from non-poisonous. So if you have kids or pets (or both), removing them is the safest route to take.

The least strenuous methods to get rid of leaves are to use a leaf blower, leaf vacuum, or a lawn mower, since these machines will do most of the work.

No. Unfortunately, leaf removal is your responsibility, no matter what tree the leaves come from. It would be pretty hard to regulate leaves since they can be moved by the wind or water. Imagine the detective skills it would take to determine which tree each leaf came from and who was then liable for removing it. Instead, plan to remove any leaves on your property.
