I have been into cleaning for a long time, as a kid going to work with my mom as a housekeeper sometimes. Getting cleaning jobs when i was able to start work on my own and also having a love for cleaning my own space. I have been a team clean specialist, housekeeper, and an environmental services aide. I love the process of cleaning and then seeing the end results. Helping both myself as it helps mentally and helps move around but also the client. I have an eye for detail and a little of a clean freak, i wouldn’t leave until it was done and done properly. I believe you should hire me because i am reliable, trustworthy and have great energy or personality to connect with others and also understanding that mental health and cleanliness are in a way hand and hand. When your space or environment is clear, it’s easier to breathe, it helps bring some peace.

"The initial meeting was great, the owner showed up on time, fully explained all that would be completed in detail. Within 2 days we had a written contract and were scheduled. They showed up as scheduled with a full crew and installed our walkway beautifully. We are very pleased with the product, the professional install and manners of the company. Now for the down side. We were left with numerous gouges in our lawn and the cobble stones that were slid toward our foundation were not spread back out to the walkway. The gouges and ruts left by their equipment required us to hire our own landscapers to repair and reseed. They left quite a mess of a well maintained property, and never even laced New seed or attempt to repair damage they created. We love our new paving project, but feel they could have repaired what they tore up. We fully understand that construction projects will create some disruption, but feel this was excess and there was no offer to repair it. We would call on them again, but cautiously on how much damage."

Rototilling questions, answered by experts

Grading refers to the sloping of your yard away from your house’s foundation. It’s a landscaping term you probably know well if you’ve ever had to push your lawn mower up a steep slope.

Leveling is the solution to grading issues since it involves making your yard flat and smooth (and easy to push a lawn mower through).

Yes, you can rent a rototiller for around $60 per day and do the work yourself, but it’s not recommended. Tilling is more of an art than a science, as tilling too deep can be detrimental to your soil structure and the organic matter that is beneficial to plants and shrubs, and tilling too shallow won’t properly introduce fertilizer or break up the soil for rooting plants. Additionally, tillers are powerful machines with sharp blades to cut through small roots and soil, so they are inherently dangerous to use. It’s usually worth it to hire a professional rototiller.

A perc test takes an average of around two hours, but it can range from one hour up to around six hours. Perc tests that require wider or deeper holes and those that require multiple holes dug throughout your property will take longer because there’s more excavation involved. The actual filling of the hole and monitoring to gauge the rate of percolation should take under an hour per hole.

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.

Water pooling, uneven surfaces, or basement leaks are indicators.
