"I had multi-years of yard debris, a broken lawn swing, last year’s fall clean-up piled for removal and a 10’ by 40’ old wooden deck for demolition and removal. There were also sprinklers which were broken from last season and no one would respond for repair. Established lawn maintenance companies failed me with no response—too busy. These are credible and self-driven individuals who want to make a success of their business. They know that word of mouth is the best source of new work. I have a stack of their business cards for distribution in an effort to spread the word to hire this company for many handy-jobs. If your needs are not listed on their business cards—ask them. You’ll be pleasantly surprised at their experience in construction, lawn maintenance, and indoor cleaning."
"I just wanted to share how amazing a job they did with my spring/fall yard cleanup! They were incredibly thorough, efficient, and reliable from start to finish. My yard looks absolutely fantastic, and you can tell they really take pride in
their work . If you?re looking for clean, professional, and dependable service, I highly recommend going to them. You won?t be disappointed!"
"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."

Yes, you can absolutely make your own mulch, and there are a few ways to go about it. First, you can lay down pine needles or mulched leaves if you’re mulching in the fall. In the spring and summer, you can use mulched grass clippings. Alternatively, you can lay down a few layers of newspaper in your garden and gently wet the paper to keep it in place.
You have a few options to get rid of raked leaves, including bagging them and leaving them out for yard waste pickup. Even if you hire a professional for leaf removal, they can often bag the leaves and leave them for you to dispose of this way. You can also recycle and even donate yard waste. If you have a compost bin, your leaves will be ready to help your plants grow, reducing spring cleanup landscaping costs. Some companies will even accept donations of raked leaves to make compost, but you’ll need to transport them yourself.
To reduce landscaping costs, you can implement several strategies at every stage. Consider doing the work yourself (DIY) to save on professional labor fees. You can also repurpose existing features and materials from other home projects. When purchasing new items, choose more inexpensive materials and opt for softscaping over hardscaping where possible. Another effective method is to buy young plants or plant from seed, which is more cost-effective than purchasing mature plants.
If you don’t remove a bush properly, it’ll come back each year. Removing the root system entirely is the only way to ensure the plant doesn’t have a chance to grow back. You can also use natural weed killers or you can choose to suppress the area with landscaping fabric. Additionally, consider planting alternative, non-invasive vegetation to deter the return of thorn bushes.
If you are xeriscaping a lawn from scratch, your best bet for preparing the lawn is to work with a xeriscaping specialist in your area. The most common first step to making the transformation, however, will be to remove the turfgrass from your lawn. The subsequent steps will often include amending the soil to support new plants and installing low-drip or drip irrigation systems.
