Q: Do decomposing leaves pose a health hazard?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s unlikely your leaves are a hazard, especially if you get to them while they&rsquo;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.</p><p>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.</p></div>

Q: How do you reduce household waste?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-reduce-household-waste.htm">Reducing household waste</a> is the best way to save money on junk removal costs in the long run. Reusable kitchen, pantry, and cleaning supplies will make a large dent, as will creating an easy compost and recycling system in your home. Additionally, create an ongoing practice of recycling, donating, or repurposing items that are ready to go.</p></div>

Q: Should mushrooms be removed in the yard?

• <div><p>According to the <a href="https://homegrown.extension.ncsu.edu/2021/11/why-mushrooms-grow-in-my-yard-sometimes/">College of Agriculture and Life Sciences</a>, there are over 10,000 kinds of mushrooms, and some are harmful to both humans and animals. However, not all mushrooms are harmful&mdash;some feed on thatch and wood, which provides nutrients for grass and plants. </p><p>But unless you&rsquo;re a mushroom expert (mycologist), it can be hard to tell poisonous mushrooms from non-poisonous. So if you have kids or pets (or both), removing them is the safest route to take.</p></div>

Q: How do you get rid of clumping grass?

• <div><p>The growth of tall fescue grass often causes clumps of grass in your lawn. Avoid pulling up the clumps, as it won&rsquo;t effectively remove them. Instead, dig out clumps and their roots when you notice them early in the growing season. Herbicides can also treat grass clumps, but they can also affect other plants you might not want to kill, so use them sparingly and always follow manufacturer instructions. </p></div>

Q: Should I vacuum artificial grass?

• <div><p>No, you shouldn&rsquo;t vacuum artificial grass, particularly if you lay your synthetic grass with infill. Vacuuming could suction it up and loosen the connection between the grass and the ground.</p></div>

"We hired Bobby for a variety of projects around our home, including lighting installation, camera setup, gym equipment installation, and several other home improvement tasks. He was extremely respectful, thoughtful, and professional throughout the entire process. What stood out most was how detail-oriented he was — he regularly asked for my opinion on placement, setup, and finishing touches that I honestly would not have thought about myself. He worked quickly while still being very conscientious of our time and our home. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality work. In fact, I already have recommended him to several friends and family members, and they’ve all had great experiences as well."
