Small jobs welcome

J&M was created as a business that will eventually be handed down to my sons. The tasks the business handles are those that require general building and maintenance skills. Any skills acquired for these jobs were ones that I learned from my dad or grandfather, both of which were licensed builders. I stand behind all work the business does with a 100% money back guarantee.

I've worked with Travis and Megan for several years.  Most of the time it's fine.  But when there's a problem, their first response is to blame me--with anger.  At one point in lawn care, I asked that the lawn chairs NOT be turned upside down, covered with grass cuttings, left in front of the stairs to enter the house.  Pretty reasonable request.  I was told that I was asking too much--they couldn't make money when I asked for more.  I said i was happy to PAY EXTRA to have the place look nice when I returned.  They never responded.

Today I sent a note that the driveway was completely torn up after plowing.  I know it was a difficult and wet snow (and I wrote that), but there were 8 inch ruts dug into the drive, and there were piles of dirt (rather than snow) all alongside the driveway (which was plowed so narrow I couldn?t actually drive it).  I sent photos, and said I wasn?t sure what had happened, but that I?d like them to come and take a look because it seemed that parts had deep snow left and parts had dug up the driveway where there wasn?t much snow.  The response was that they weren?t going to go around and around about this.  They?d gotten stuck (no one told me!) and there was a problem with the driveway.  They wanted to part ways.

It?s pretty hard to work with someone who can?t negotiate, can?t take a look at a job that?s not done well or that a customer isn?t satisfied with.  Rather than working WITH a customer, Travis and Megan seem determined to be right.  Most of the time they are.  But when they?re not, there?s no room for customer care or customer satisfaction.  That?s a problem.

Weed Services questions, answered by experts

Burning is not a recommended method for controlling foxtail grasses. In a large pasture scenario, the fire moves too quickly through the weeds to effectively burn and kill the seeds, meaning they will resprout eventually. If your lawn is overrun with foxtails, it’s best to consult a lawn care professional for suggestions on how to permanently remove it from your property.

It’s not legal to intentionally damage a neighbor’s tree. Even if the roots of a tree encroach into your yard, if you damage or kill a tree that belongs to your neighbor, you can be held liable for the damage in most cases. Since herbicides can spread through the tree, causing damage to the whole tree and not just the roots that are on your side of the property line, you shouldn’t poison your neighbor’s tree. The other downside to this method is that if the tree dies, it can fall onto your property and cause more damage, so herbicides are best avoided in this circumstance.

You should add 1 to 4 inches of mulch, depending on your garden type and needs. Keep in mind that no amount of mulch can completely prevent weeds, but a heavier coverage (closer to 4 inches) can suppress weeds enough that you are only seeing them sprout every few weeks. Finer mulch prevents weeds more effectively than large mulch, so if you’re using mulched leaves or shredded bark, 1 to 2 inches will likely suffice, while 3 to 4 inches is best for larger mulch, like bark chips or straw.

They compete for nutrients and water, potentially stunting desired plants.

Weeds can grow through rubber mulch, but it depends on if you removed all the weeds in your garden beforehand. Weeds already in the soil can grow even when using rubber mulch. However, that doesn’t mean that your garden will be littered with rubber and weeds, but it does mean that the occasional weed might still pop up. Another way you can increase your weed suppression is by using landscape fabric as a second layer.
