    Mold

    Hi Newtimer1, The first thing I would do is to buy a dehumidifier and place it in the garage. If it's just a small spot it may be a simple cleanup of the area with bleach/water solution. Here is a good webpage to get you started on that - http://www.onlinetips.org/black-mold/get-rid...

    driveway drainage

    Sorry to hear about that sisyphus. A few years ago I worked for the county supervising road repairs and they were pretty conscientious about paving at least ten feet down everyone's driveway so that the grades would match. I agree with BridgeMan that you should contact them to see what they...

    Invasion of the Morning Glory

    About 15 years ago my wife Donna loved the vining nature of morning glories as well as the beautiful flowers and thought it would be a good idea to grow them up the 6 foot chain link fence that bordered the back of our vegetable garden so that they would shade the tender crops from the hot...

    small fruit trees. 3 questions

    With that Cheery tree I would just keep an eye on it and make sure it's still got green under the bark from time to time by barely scratching the bark off. If and when you are sure it's not going to make it, prune it back to about 2-3 inches above the graft. Lots of times this will allow the...

    Tree Stump Removal

    For smaller trees (less than 2 feet in diameter) we usually just dig around the stump and cut the exposed roots continuing until we can rock the stump to get at the tap root but for trees larger that 2 ft diameter hiring someone with a stump grinder is definitely the way to go. Good luck, Scott
