"So Manny sent out a crew member to evaluate the job two days before the was done. I was quoted 155.00 for fall cleanup for the front yard only which is what I had requested I agreed to the quote. A couple of days later a young man showed up to clean the leaves. My next door neighbor had a crew from Fairview lawn care also working on her yard. Maybe 45 minutes to an hour later he rang my door bell saying he had completed the job. I did not verify that it had been completed correctly as it was only picking up leaves and mowing the lawn. A few hours later as I was leaving I noticed that there was still alot of leaves under the shrubs and against my fence on the right side of my front yard. I contacted Manny and he was very apologetic and told me he would send the young man out again. Today he came back and finished the job. I believe Manny truly wants to satisfy his clients it’s just unfortunate it took two times to accomplish that. "

Rototilling questions, answered by experts

Environmental considerations include native plant selection, wildlife habitation, erosion prevention measures, and managing water runoff patterns to protect the lakefront ecosystem.

Professionals who complete perc tests can usually do them in a single day. Including excavating to expose the test site, filling the hole with water, and monitoring it while it drains, you can expect the test to take between four and eight hours total. It’s possible that you’ll get the results the same day, but some companies may take a few days to get official results.

Yes, it’s always a good idea to fertilize your lawn before a major leveling project. This step gives your grass the nutrients necessary for healthy growth, helping it recover and replenish itself faster. However, you should do this at least three weeks in advance, as the leveling process can disturb the newly-applied fertilizer.

Yes, you can rent a rototiller for around $60 per day and do the work yourself, but it’s not recommended. Tilling is more of an art than a science, as tilling too deep can be detrimental to your soil structure and the organic matter that is beneficial to plants and shrubs, and tilling too shallow won’t properly introduce fertilizer or break up the soil for rooting plants. Additionally, tillers are powerful machines with sharp blades to cut through small roots and soil, so they are inherently dangerous to use. It’s usually worth it to hire a professional rototiller.

Hardscaping often requires preparation of the ground in the area where the feature is being installed. This can include digging, compacting, and leveling the soil, ensuring adequate drainage, and removing any existing plants. The extent of preparation needed will depend on the type and size of the hardscaping feature being installed.
