What's the best way to remove leaves - is any one leaf removal service the best?

Leaf Removal in the Columbia, South Carolina area can be a very labor intensive endeavor. Many folks decide to wait until the last leaf has fallen off of their trees before they do something about the removal of those leaves.

There is no good way to go about doing the removal but there are some critical pieces of information that I wanted to share with you.

First of all, decide whether or not you do indeed want to remove the leaves. The alternative is to leave them on your grounds and perhaps grind them up with a mower with a mulching blade to aid in the decomposition process. Often times, this is a good solution for the homeowner who has an overload of leaves.

If you decide to go ahead and remove the leaves, the #1 tool that you'll need is a gas powered leaf blower. The best leaf blowers on the market that I have found are the Redmax 8001, the Stihl BR 600, and the Echo pb 651t - all of which have the throttle mounted on the nozzle (avoid the hip mounted throttle!).

The next most important thing to decide is the strategy for pushing the leaves. Take a good look at the grounds and get a clear idea of what direction you want to push the leaves. WIND is a very important factor. On a particularly windy day, make sure the wind is at your back - nature can be very helpful in this way.

Try to do your leaf removal on a dry day - that is, wait at least 2 days after rainfall. This way, you won't be dealing with heavy debris and the risk of soiling your shutters, windows, etc.

And lastly, remember to do leaf cleanup on the day before the debris pick-up crew for your city makes their rounds. This way, your neighbors don't have to look at the trash and you have less of a risk of the debris getting blown around the neighborhood.

Tree Removal Service - Busy Bee Lawn Care, Columbia SC

So you have a dead tree in your yard? If you've ever shopped for service in regards to tree removal service in the Columbia South Carolina Area, you know that the bids for cutting down the tree and removing the tree can be very different.

One bid may be for the total removal of the tree, the grinding of the stump (you may have seen a stump grinding service rolling around before), and of course the surgical removal of the tree (cutting down without damaging anything!). This bid for tree removal would be significantly higher than the bid to simply "drop" the tree.

If you drop the tree where it stands and do not grind the stump, the cost to remove the tree will be roughly 1/5th of the cost of the total removal package. This option may be attractive to folks who don't care about the appearance - they just want the risk removed. Others may have the resources and manpower to haul off the downed tree, but lack the resources and skill to physically cut down the tree.

Whatever your choice in tree service in the Greater Columbia South Carolina Area, make sure that the company doing the work is licensed in your city/town, is insured, and has a good track record where safety is concerned.
