"Josh and his team have been keeping my yard looking fantastic for years!! Even when I ask him to do other things to my yard, other than the normal routine, he is quick to oblige. He is doing my daughterâ s yard now as well!"
"I think they treated the wrong lawn. The note they sent me via text message referenced trees and shrubs in my yard, I have none. They also did not leave a yard marker showing they had been there. Otherwise, this would have been a 5 star review."
"Nick is honest, hard-working, and an excellent craftsman. I asked him to rebuild the gate in my privacy fence and, if possible, to make it a little wider. He came up with a great plan, and the results exceeded my hopes. He also came in under budget! I will hire him again any time I need handyman-type work."
"Rob was very easy to work with. He was always courteous and on time. Someone you could just talk to. Very reasonable prices. Clean everything when finished. I would certainly use his services again."
I have 25 years of experience mowing yards and trimming bushes. I worked mowing yards in the state of Massachusetts for 15 years and here in Arkansas I have been mowing yards for 10 years.
"I have hired Faith for multiple projects—power washing, staining, rodent holes patched and brush removal. Each time, she exceeded my expectations. Her attention to detail is very evident in the quality of work that she consistently delivers no matter what the task is. Plus, she is super easy to work with and brings professional insight to each job. Faith is a top notch worker and someone that I highly recommend."

To prepare your yard for river rocks, smaller rocks may require laying landscape fabric to keep the stones from sinking into the ground while encouraging proper water drainage. You should also clear the land of weeds and larger boulders and, in some cases, test the density of the soil to ensure it can handle the weight.
It’s unlikely your leaves are a hazard, especially if you get to them while they’re dry. However, a couple of rare risks exist. University studies suggest that decaying leaves can produce organochlorines, toxic pollutants similar to man-made PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls), so avoid keeping them in an enclosed area.
Also, leaves and compost may cause the growth of fungi that can cause diseases like histoplasmosis and aspergillosis, as well as mold spores that are unhealthy for human lungs. Again, severe issues are rare, but those with compromised immune systems or allergies to mold should wear face masks when directly handling leaves.
No, you cannot throw branches from your neighbor’s tree back into their yard, nor can you discard leaves or other plant matter that originated from their yard back over there if it happens to land in your yard. You are responsible for cleaning up plant matter that made its way into your yard.
A standard home lawn mower with sharp blades can handle a thin layer of leaves without issue. You may need to make a couple of passes within several days to mulch leaves down, but your mower shouldn’t struggle. If your mower comes with a mulching kit, like an attachment to blow leaves out the side, that’s a good sign it’s ready for fall leaves. Set your mower to the highest or near-highest height for this project so it focuses on the leaves rather than the grass below.
Tipping is not mandatory, but is a nice gesture if you are satisfied with the service your lawn professional provided. The amount you should tip depends on your area, service, and time of year. Typically, most people tip between $10 and $100 per crew member. For minor services, people tend to tip less than large jobs.
