"These guys do good work and keep me informed, as I am out of town most of the time this summer. They accept payment electronically; so this is very convenient for me. I came to town for a short time after they had mowed the yard a few times, and I arrived on the day after they mowed. I did not let them know I would be in town, because I was curious to see if the work was done as well as I had hoped. The lawn looked exactly as they said it would, and it looked great. I give them the highest of recommendations!"
"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 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."
As we know, leaving dog poop on your lawn can cause patching and even death of your grass. But, even if your yard is hardscaped, leaving dog poop lying around is unhygienic and smelly, and it’s an invitation for kids to trail it into the house on the soles of their shoes.
A pre-emergent herbicide is the most effective way to avoid stickers growing in your yard. However, if some manage to make it through, a post-emergent herbicide is the most effective way to kill them. However, environmental concerns exist when using chemicals on a lawn. Try vinegar or baking soda applications to kill sticker plants for a more natural yet still effective method.
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.
The time that it takes to fill in a pool with dirt varies based on the size of the pool and the equipment you have available. Using heavy equipment, like an excavator rather than a shovel, will significantly cut down on the time it takes to complete the project. With the right equipment, it may only take a day or two. However, after the initial filling, the dirt will continue to settle over the following weeks and months. You may need to add more dirt to make the empty area level with the rest of the yard.
Pruning bushes will encourage new growth and flowering and keep them hardy. Removing dead and diseased branches is vital to your bush's health. It can also deter pests from infesting your bushes. Not only is it beneficial to the bushes, trimming and shaping them will make your lawn look lush and polished.
