Approximate cost of stump grinding
Comments (1)Hello and welcome aboard. My yard laughs at the small size of your stumps! More seriously, it varies based on markets and access. I bet $250. Just some guy has to bring a machine and maintain it. When I have had it done I have ended up with a mess if wood and soil left in place and it was my job to dig it out if I had to. Assuming you do not feel like doing this just have them include that in the quote. Even with my big trees it would create a few wheelbarrows of wood muck and a nd the need for what, a dozen bags of cheap topsoil? So it shouldnt be that much extra....See MorePick a color, any color...seriously! At a loss for MBR
Comments (6)I would look at some of the Historical collections of colors...California Paints, Farrow & Ball or Ben Moore. There are brights within each collection, particularly the first two, but you won't run the risk of going overboard as they are all toned down a bit. F&B Cooking Apple green comes to mind. Or Teresa's Green for more of an aqua. I'd worry a bit that pale blue with a northern exposure will feel too cool. I have F&B Vert de Terre in my bedroom now, a slightly warm green, and I find it just right. I also just used BM Ambiance in my north-facing laundry room. It is soft but still has a touch of red in it for warmth. I remember your stucco disaster. Such a sad story. I am glad to hear you've turned the corner and are getting ready to move on to the good stuff. And I have always loved your house. Hope you still love it too!...See Morebacksplash issue - stumped
Comments (24)On the black wash idea: it would give it depth, but it's a small kitchen and have a strong feeling it would "take over" ( I have a lot of black accents in the house..love spray paint) Getting the hub. to help paint again is not looking too bright a path. Hmmm, the green? That's a strong possibility. Everyone has been so wonderful and helpful. Going to continue the conversation and ideas for about 2 -3 more days....See MoreWhat should I do after tree removal & stump grinding?
Comments (9)Mostly that. :-) The tree roots you're not going to be able to do much about quickly; they'll rot over time and the soil will...become even more uneven, actually. Add a quarter inch of soil at a time in low spots to bring it up, repeating every six weeks in areas with grass to give the grass time to adjust. Areas that are currently bare can be leveled immediately but, as always, count on some re-leveling as it settles. Be sure to use top soil without much or any organic matter and don't use compost! Compost will rot away to nothing eventually and leave you with uneven soil all over again. Soil tests can be done immediately as well, just make sure not to get any wood chips or bits in the test. I can and will read Logan Labs and will generally at least give a try on others, but don't make any promises. Amendments aren't recommended during seeding or on very young lawns, so you're going to be limited this fall except in emergency conditions. New seed will require watering three to four times a day, even to the detriment of the existing grass. Fortunately, it doesn't require much water, but it does demand to be kept damp at all times until it sprouts, and for any mix with bluegrass in it, that can be a solid month. I do recommend bluegrass because it's a nice, self-repairing grass. And I don't generally recommend professional services without a lot of research because...well, a lot are less than professional. :-)...See Morehavingfun
