## About

Top quality workmanship is our specialty. We provide a wide range of services such as flooring, countertops, cabinets, electric work, remodeling, painting, decking, and much more.

Ed York, owner of Ed York & Sons Handyman services has extensive experience for 30+ years working for major corporations such as Raytheon, Allied, Bechtel Corp and Honeywell. With a degree in electronics and a do-it-yourselfer since birth, I have brought this experience locally to help homeowners and small businesses renovate and repair their homes and businesses in both the Central Coast of California. Top quality workmanship is my specialty. I have many happy customers and many of them are references. By the way, you should always ask for references from your handyman or contractor. You would not believe the shoddy work I see others perform. As to myself, I am pretty much a perfectionist when I do a project. I like my own home to be nice and I treat my clients homes and projects just as I would treat my own home. In other words, you are going to get the same quality of work in your home or office as I put into my own home. In addition, I am a very efficient worker. I know how to multi-task to get things done. Its not uncommon that I can get 10 to 11 hours of real work inside of an 8 hour day as compared to other handymen and contractors who often drag their feet. Time is money in my book.

**★★★★★ — Chad Castigliano, Dec. 2017**

> I hired Ed to do some pretty crazy siding work on my house, also to replace the fascia.  Not only did Ed do a great job, I was impressed by his consistency!  It's tough to find dependable workers in this area, and Ed showed up when he said he would, and finished when he said he would. He worked solidly all day long, and gave me an end product that I was very happy with. After his work, the painters moved in, and the end result looks beautiful!

**★★★★★ — Katherine Chase, Dec. 2017**

> Mr. York is very friendly, efficient, and  completes projects in a timely manner. I would highly recommend him to anyone. I will also be hiring him for future projects.

**★★★★★ — Carol Cordero, Dec. 2017**

> Ed York is now my favorite handyman.  He not only does good work and charges reasonable rates, but, best of all, shows up when he says he is going to, and at the time he says he will be there!  Ed has done several jobs for me, helping me get my house ready to sell.  I don't bother to call anyone else now.  He does it all:  drywall repair, painting, plumbing, tub surrounds.  I haven't found anything yet that he doesn't do.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Why can't I grow a Dawn Redwood?** *(in Conifers)*

Hello to all.

I haven't posted in a while but I lurk here all the time. There's always something interesting to read and some great advice. I hope someone can help me with my problem.
After reading about these trees some ten years ago I finally had the chance to see some growing at the botanical garden in ST. Louis and it was love at first site. So after scouring the nooks and crannies of every garden center I found one and immediately planted it in my yard. It was only about 4' when it was planted but jumped a couple of feet the first year. I knew it was destined for greatness.

Gradually over the next several years it went into decline. Each year progressively less foliage. People were asking me "what's that?" with a painful look on their face.

I tried giving it more water, it would struggle to produce maybe 2 more needles. I tried giving it less, it dropped needles. I fed it, it did nothing.


I decided it was one of two things, girdled roots or too much wind. I had planted 5 loblolly pines from small containers years before and when one died I dug it up to see one root had encased several others to make a gnarled mess so I figured that was a possibility with the redwood as well. Since I had given the redwood the prime location in my yard to protect it from the wind there was nothing left to try.

By this time it looked like a 9' stick with hairy arms. So after much deliberation, I had mercy on it and cut it down. I proceeded to dig up the roots to find the culprit that had choked my dream to death, but no, the roots looked great.... I had murdered it.

I promised I wouldn't subject a living thing to that kind of torture again.
However, now spring is just around the corner and I'm seeing all these pictures of beautiful specimens and new varieties and I don't know if I can stop myself?

Should I try again or save the space for something else? If I did try again, what should I do differently?

I have never had to admit defeat to a tree before and I've been planting them for 30 years but I'm not getting any younger and I still have no definitive answer to what went wrong. What would YOU DO? 
Thanks in advance.

A: They go dormant in winter. I thought I killed my baby 8 incher last year. I just left him alone in the greenhouse and in the spring of last year he started growing little green buds. He is now 2 feet tall. He is still confused on seasons though. He doesnt like it too hot. He loses his leaves if it's too hot. I moved him outside the greenhouse 2 weeks ago because his leaves were starting to turn brown. I think it was too hot in the greenhouse.. He now has new little green sprouts on his stems so he will be ok.
