"Daryl and Joe were amazing! They were extremely polite and respectful and patiently waited when I needed to strategize my packing plan. They moved all the items efficiently and safely, and when they made quick work of getting the items loaded up they were willing to offer additional assistance. THANK YOU BOTH - I would hire them again and inquired about additional yard work, after being so impressed by their work ethic."

Lawns FAQs, answered by experts

Depending on the method you choose to remove grass, it may or may not matter whether the grass is wet or dry when you perform the task. A dryer lawn will be easier to negotiate with a sod cutter, especially if you're not planning to reuse the turf. However, using a shovel by hand might be a little easier if the ground is slightly damp but not so much that it sticks to the tool.  

Dormant seasons like fall and winter are the best times to dig up plants, including holly bushes. Plants aren’t growing during these seasons, so the removal process goes a lot quicker. Consider hiring a landscaping team to handle holly bush removal during the cold-weather months for off-season pricing deals, too.

Land clearing costs an average of $3,743, but prices can range anywhere from $400 to $15,000, depending on the size of the land you need cleared, how dense the coverage is, and what needs to be removed. Expect prices toward the lower end if your professional just needs to mulch some plants and shrubs on a small patch of land, and expect prices to move toward the higher end for things like taking down a large number of trees and removing landscaping boulders.

Decluttering services aren’t for everyone, but many people find the benefits of hiring a professional organizer worth the cost. A professional decluttering service can save you time and help you make tough decisions about what to keep and get rid of. A pro has experience decluttering many different spaces and can help you organize your home to fit your space and needs.

If possible, you should prioritize pulling weeds up by hand. However, be sure not to use your bare hands, as many weeds are sharp or otherwise irritating when they come in contact with skin. Always don thick, protective gardening gloves to protect your hands when you pull up weeds.
