"The work I had asked them to do I thought would take a day or more and they only took 5 hours. They did a great job. I am planning on hiring them for more work."
"I called Clegg's and scheduled an appointment for an estimate. JJ came out as scheduled and gave me an estimate for termite treatment and yard spray for mosquitos (rated separately). The estimate paperwork was pretty straightforward, but I had to verify the fuzzy carbon copied information on my copy. I was surprised that there was no guarantee to pay for future damage like other companies claimed, just a promise of retreatment if I kept up the annual fee - at least I learned that up front. After negotiating the price and what would be included, he had me document my request via email, including the agreed final price, so he could go ahead and have the termite team set up a time at my convenience. They were very accommodating about my work schedule. The two man team came out close to the appointment time, did a thorough job of drilling, trenching and infusing the Termidor pesticide (fipronil) for about 3.5 hours. They made sure the drilled holes were as inconspicuous as possible along the foundation and inside the garage. They quit promptly at 5:00PM with part of the house remaining, but luckily I had time off work the next day. The team came back for another hour (one different man) and finished the infusing of the holes, sealed every one with cement and cleaned up very nicely. The team steadily worked hard and got the job done. Other than the necessary hundreds of filled holes needed to get the pesticide under the slab, the house base looked clean and neat. As far as the billing, I thought I would get a bill in the mail, but was called while at a family event to immediately pay the bill in full with my credit card over the phone. I didn't mind paying quickly, but didn't know that would be the process. That would be good to understand up front. I went with Clegg's even though they were a little higher estimate because when I asked the chemical name for the Termidor, JJ honestly stated he did not know, but would get back to me with the information. Another company gave me misleading information, claiming their product and costs were cheaper because they used the "generic Termidor." I looked it up later and found out it was a completely different chemical - ignorance or deception? A third company never answered their phone, but I couldn't delay getting the treatment done. I was happy with Cleggs termite service (separate review for yard spray). "
It’s possible to over-mulch leaves. If the leaf mulch is thick enough that it’s blocking and smothering the grass, that’s a problem. Ideally, you should still be able to see the grass when you’re done mulching to ensure its ability to continue growing. The solution is to make another pass at the top layer of leaf mulch to collect some of the top layer.
Several leaf-removal tools are available to make this annual process easier, including a leaf grabber, leaf tarps, leaf blowers, and leak vacuums. Each piece of equipment works differently, but they all achieve the same goal of picking up leaves as quickly and easily as possible.
Skunks like to forage for grubs in the soil, like worms and insects, but they are also tempted by trash and pet food bowls, so keeping these items out of sight may help keep skunks away. Skunks also like to set up a den in dark places, such as a crawl space or outbuilding.
Alternatives to a dumpster include junk removal services and dumpster bags. These are good options if you have limited space and can’t fit a dumpster on your property or if a dumpster isn’t available. You can also take smaller loads of waste to a disposal facility yourself if you have a vehicle that can fit your items.
The best way to landscape your front yard on a budget is to invest in hiring a professional for hardscaping—things like upgrading walkways, redoing driveways, and installing partitions around garden beds. You can often do the softscaping yourself—think laying down mulch, caring for your lawn, removing weeds, and planting flowers and shrubs. It’s also almost always worthwhile to pay a professional for routine yard maintenance, as this dramatically improves curb appeal and delivers above 100% ROI in most cases.
