I used to just toss a few peanuts in the yard to watch the squirrels. Last fall, one figured out how to pry the lid off my big green trash can. After three failed attempts with bungee cords, I bought a specific 'squirrel-proof' latch for $22. Now my weekly routine involves checking that latch like a security guard. Anyone else have a backyard pest that forced a complete system change?
Everyone in my Grant Park neighborhood swears by the liquid aeration and overseeding trucks, but after paying $350 last fall, my Bermuda just came back patchier. I think the soil got too compacted from the heavy equipment. Has anyone else had better luck with just doing it yourself with a core aerator?
I figured I'd save the $300 quote, but the cheap rental unit etched the concrete and now I'm looking at a $2k repair. Has anyone else had a DIY project go this wrong?
My big oak in the backyard had a dead limb, and I almost skipped the inspection to save cash. After the storm last month, my neighbor's similar tree came down and caused over ten grand in damage to their fence and shed. How do you decide when a tree needs to come down versus just a trim?
Need to replace my old water heater before it completely dies. I got quotes from both Fix and Flow and Peach State Plumbing. The prices are pretty close, but I want to make sure I go with someone reliable. Anyone have experience with either of these companies in the metro Atlanta area?
