Woodstrippers around Park Slope

Good afternoon !
The woodwork in my appartment (mouldings, windows) has (as usual) been covered with layers of paint. I started to strip it myself but realizes that I don't have enough time. Would anyone recommend a good (and not to expensive) company that could give me first an estimate of the stripping cost ? Thanks, Julien

Hi everybody !
I live in Prospect Heights, in an apartment building. I'd like to do something nice with the 3mx3m square of dirt and grass in front of my building.
I guess the task is too big and time-consuming to do it myself. And I don't know how to restore the soil pH, how to design nor how to choose the best plants to rival with the Botanical Garden next door !!
Do you know anybody that you would recommend ? Do you have pictures of the resulting gardens ?
Thanks and enjoy the summer !
Julien

Hi,
I spent the day reading blogs about the SPR (and scratching with my heatgun !).
Did you finally buy, build (?!) or rent one ?
How easy was it ?
Did it work on mouldings too ?
I'm impatient to read your comments ?
Signed : an exhausted woodstripper !

Thanks a lot for your quick answer.
The board recruited a landscaper the day I contacted you but I keep your contacts preciously.
