They did not have any interest in our "small job of $2,500" and they will not do brushed concrete work - only stamped. They obviously did NOT read what our project request was before wasting our time.

Brush Chipping FAQs, answered by experts

Leaf removal, aeration, dethatching, mowing, pruning, and fertilizing are activities that prepare lawns for the next season.

It’s possible to over-mulch leaves. If the leaf mulch is thick enough that it’s blocking and smothering the grass, that’s a problem. Ideally, you should still be able to see the grass when you’re done mulching to ensure its ability to continue growing. The solution is to make another pass at the top layer of leaf mulch to collect some of the top layer.

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.

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.

You can’t typically leave your grill on the curb for your regular trash pickup. Most waste removal services will require that you schedule a special bulk pickup or dispose of your grill another way due to its large size and weight. Otherwise, you may receive a fine for leaving your grill out. Scheduling a bulky item pickup helps waste management workers prepare properly for a larger item like a grill.
