"Eric and his team did an amazing job from start to finish. After a couple of meetings to understand our goals for our primarily dirt yard, SummerSweet designed and executed the project with a personal touch. If you appreciate doing business with a handshake and having access to a project manager, then I would recommend SummerSweet. All work was done to our expectations, and careful attention was paid to drainage and safety concerns with our yard."
"Excellent cleaning and very reasonably priced! I was amazed when I entered my home. I am not a dirty person, but my house hasn't looked that clean in a very long time. Whatever cleaning supplies were used smelled wonderful! Most importantly, outstanding customer service!"
"I was very pleased with the work they did this morning. It was fast and I had time before going to work. I can maintain the back yard now. Would be interested in replacing my gravel soon. Thank you again! 😊"
"Jesus did a wonderful job. He worked hard to clear the weeds out of my yard, was timely, and did it all for a good price. I will definitely call him again and I highly recommend his service."
"I reached to Joseph from Angie's list, and he called me back immediately. He provided a quote for a fence repair and clean up my backyard and front yards. I just moved to Albuquerque two years ago, and I was embarrassed to be that neighbor with the unkempt yard, and the fence was damaged by termites and wind. Well, now I have a beautiful backyard again and with good advice how to keep it that way! Looking forward to working with Joseph on my other home issues. They are so thorough with small touches like blowing out leaves and dirt making the area look pristine. I am so thankful I found a local business with such integrity!"
"They were available for immediate work. Completed the job on time and made accommodations to keep me on budget with adjustments when the initial plan didn't work. My yard looks great!!! Highly recommend"
It’s unlikely your leaves are a hazard, especially if you get to them while they’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.
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.
If your dog always does their business in the yard, daily poop pick-up makes sense. The nitrogen in the poop can start making its way into the grass and surrounding soil quickly, a rain shower can send the waste into waterways, and less poop lying around means less chance of stepping on it accidentally.
According to the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, there are over 10,000 kinds of mushrooms, and some are harmful to both humans and animals. However, not all mushrooms are harmful—some feed on thatch and wood, which provides nutrients for grass and plants.
But unless you’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.
You may need to lay sod on the areas you dug up once you get the okay from the contractor. It will take about 30 to 45 days for the sod to take root. Consult a local sod installer to get an accurate estimate of the timeline of your specific yard-enhancement project.
Trees that provide a habitat to bats and an abundance of bugs—their main food source—will attract bats to your yard. Because the North American landscape has changed so much in recent years, bats have a harder time finding trees with cavities to shelter in. If your yard has a dead or dying tree with a lot of sun exposure, bats will likely be drawn to it because trees with those features are less common.
