"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."
"I hired Capital City Handyman Services for just a few small things in my cabin. Plumbing was a big issue and he replaced all the pipes that that were old and cracked. Then he built a retainer wall for my basement and insulated and winterized it as well. All of this was done in a timely matter. He was thorough, clean, and perfesional. He also installed flooring, and put in a new kitchen sink. I give Capital City Handyman an A plus. Well done! He also trimmed my trees!"
"technician repaired problem and now there is no problem with the garbage disposal airvent. The technician was prompt, polite, cleaned area of work after his work and I very much appreciated his work."
"Good quality work done in a timely manner! He is always on time and does the work that he is supposed to do - you never have to worry about calling him to follow up!"
"He is the first person to have responded when I reached out to businesses and people for help. He came on Easter Sunday, and he cleaned my yard. He did an amazing job. He is the first person that I hired and paid that actually came and did the job. He did it a couple days and has offered to help me with so many other tasks. At first I wasn't sure if I would need the help as much, I thought maybe hire him for one time, but he deserves the pay, the review for all of his hardwork and generosity. Now I plan to hire him more and pay him for his work. Try him, you won't regret it. I am so happy I found him for his help. Before this experience I never asked for help and am a very independent person. It is hard for me to ask for help. I put my trust in him, and anyone else should, too."

Yard waste should be professionally removed at least once per season, particularly during major landscaping projects, fall leaf accumulation, or after severe weather. Regular removal promotes lawn health and maintains a neat exterior.
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.
Branches, leaves, grass clippings, and landscaping debris are typically collected.
Always do a poop sweep before mowing your lawn. Running your mower over dog waste can be messy, unsanitary, and smelly, and it can spread the poop to other parts of your lawn. Plus, you won’t be able to get it out of the grass (or the mower blades) easily.
