"They are amazing at lawn care! They do everything needed and always go above and beyond to make sure your yard looks amazing! I would recommend them over and over again to everyone!"
"Tandem Trades LLC made it easy to coordinate & schedule miscellaneous residential handyman jobs (shutter reattachment, entry door weather strip replacement, exterior trim painting). Service was prompt, efficient, professional, and high quality with the handyman explaining all work performed."
"I got behind on my lawn cutting and he helped me get caught up. It was a little bit overgrown, but it was no problem. He helped me out and did weed eating as well. A little extra money and he took it to the property line, the extra yard waste that he cut with weed eater. Thank you Preston."
"Words cannot express how happy I am that I found Matt to help me paint my new home! Not only did he finish the job of painting three rooms ceilings, trim, and walls in less than two days, he quoted me an extremely fair price and he did an amazing job. Matt took pride in his work, wanted to make sure everything was perfect, and that I was one hundred percent satisfied with the job. I have now found my handy man for life! If you need any work done in your home (because he does a lot more than paint) I highly recommend him. Thank you so much Matt for everything!"
"Scheduling was great, an appointment was made immediately and the contractor arrived on the day scheduled. After that problems started. The contractor mowed my lawn while raining and I had piles of wet grass left on my lawn. When the grass dried I had a big mess. The dead grass also killed areas of my lawn. I contacted customer service, forward photos and they rectified that problem by sending someone out to recut my lawn. I was willing to give them another chance. I scheduled an appointment two weeks in advance. The day I was due to have lawn mowed I received an email that it had been reschedule for the next day. The next day no one showed nor did I receive a call nor email at which point I terminated services. This is not a reliable business."
"Samuel is amazing.
I hired Samuel to replace a closet door in the apartment I just moved out of. I could not find the door I needed, and Samuel went out of his way to find the door, and pick it up. He arrived on time, was very professional, personable and kind. It was refreshing to work with Samuel because he treated me with respect, his fees are fair, and he didn’t try to price gauge the project because I’m a woman, like some contractors I considered hiring for projects I want completed in my new home.
I look forward to working with Samuel to complete the other projects I want/need completed. I will absolutely refer Samuel to my family and friends who want/need to hire a contractor."
"Adam did the work in my home today. There were three heating and air-conditioning units which were checked out and some which needed some repair. I highly recommend him. Reasonable cost excellent knowledge and willing to take the time to do an excellent job."
A pre-emergent herbicide is the most effective way to avoid stickers growing in your yard. However, if some manage to make it through, a post-emergent herbicide is the most effective way to kill them. However, environmental concerns exist when using chemicals on a lawn. Try vinegar or baking soda applications to kill sticker plants for a more natural yet still effective method.
Overall, artificial turf maintenance isn’t time- or labor-intensive, especially compared to natural lawns. To clean artificial grass, you can start by raking away any organic debris, like leaves and dirt, that have blown in from somewhere else. Then, break out the hose to take care of most messes that are left over.
While a rented dumpster can handle a wide variety of materials, there are significant restrictions on what is allowed. Generally, you can dispose of most non-hazardous household junk, yard waste, and construction debris.
Accepted items typically include:
Furniture, carpets, old linens, and toys
Wood and yard debris
Small appliances and excess trash
Renovation waste like old finishes, building debris, and roofing materials (unless they contain lead paint or asbestos)
However, you cannot put toxic, flammable, or hazardous materials in a dumpster. Prohibited items almost always include:
Paint, gasoline, oil, and other fuels
Household cleaners and other chemicals
Electronics, batteries, and tires
Refrigerators, hot water tanks, and medical waste
Since regulations can vary by location and company, it is essential to check with your dumpster rental provider for their specific list of accepted and prohibited items before you begin.
For minor unevenness, you don't necessarily need to remove grass before leveling. You can apply a topdressing mixture to fill in low areas and even out the surface. However, for more significant unevenness or deep depressions, it might be necessary to temporarily remove the grass to ensure proper leveling and soil compaction. After filling and leveling, you can replace the grass or consider reseeding the area.
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.
