Because Harlan's Hauling is a small locally owned business we are willing to take on jobs that our competitors would not ordinarily do such as pool removal or help hauling some round bales. Bottom line is if you need some hard working guys to show up and get the job done for a reasonable price you have come to the right place. Give us a call and lets work out the details.

A personal touch is what you will always recieve with Korf Enterprises because there is one employee, the owner, Dave Korfmacher.

"I needed a cistern under my driveway dug up and filled in. Korf quoted me a good price for that and regraveling the driveway. Because I was able to be flexible on the timing of the job, they were able to save money on equipment rental and passed along the savings to me. I was impressed with their communication and followthrough and how easy it was to work with them. "

Nothing makes a home or business look better than a beautifully maintained lawn. That’s why Lawns R Us has committed itself to offering a wide range of landscaping services throughout the wonderful city of Pewaukee, Wisconsin. From installing large commercial landscapes to creating small intimate gardens, Lawns R Us will get it done on time and on budget.

"We signed a contract with them to do our landscaping in the Spring of 2019 as their quote was fair and they seemed knowledgeable and professional. Then, we never heard from them on the start of our landscaping. After several attempts to connect with them our voicemails and calls were unanswered. When we did finally connect with someone they would either have to call us back or we were next on the list. Several follow ups and they finally came out and did our landscaping later in the summer. Now we have a low spot on the side of our house where grass never grew, a dead tree and dead flowers that are under warranty and after reporting this to them months ago, here we sit. We were promised someone would be out last week to rectify and now we can’t even get a hold of anyone. We are frustrated beyond belief with this business!"

"Big job to re-grade property to allow for proper drainage and prevent flooding during the spring thaw. Also installed some underground drainage piping to help drain some hard to reache spots. After a couple spring thaws, everything is working great. I would highly recommend this business and won't hesitate to have them come back for any future work needed."

Leaf Removal questions, answered by experts

A trencher can grind stumps, but it will take a lot longer and be less effective than dedicated stump grinding tools. Rather than using a trencher to grind stumps, since trenchers work best at digging in soil, use a stump grinder. This aptly named tool has blades that spin to break down a tree stump quickly and leave the roots behind to naturally decay. You can also use shears, a hatchet, a reciprocating saw, or other root removal techniques to finish the job.

Most chemical treatments that kill roots will also damage the grass around it—including more natural substances like Epsom salt. In this case, cutting tree roots is probably your best bet if you want to preserve the grass. Use caution before you cut or prune roots to make sure you know what you’re cutting and know the risks if you make an error. 

Tree roots are hearty and complex systems, so they don’t die immediately after the rest of the tree is removed. If you leave the root system in place, it takes anywhere from two to seven years for it to run out of nutrients. It is worth noting, however, that the roots stop growing and expanding after cutting down the rest of the tree.

Whether you should remove the roots of a dead tree depends on whether they’re damaging nearby areas. For instance, if the roots continue to grow near sidewalks, driveways, or the foundation of your home, they can cause damage. If you want to plant something else in that spot, removing the roots can make it easier for the new tree or plant to grow.

Tree stumps are not only unsightly, but they can also do serious damage to your yard and home’s foundation. Tree stumps also attract termites, mice, ants, and other pests that could make their way into your home. While it’s an investment in your yard, removing a stump is worth the cost.
