"I called Gerard as I was just done with trying to do it myself. Adjusting the sprinkler heads, fixing leaks, broken valves. So I asked him when he gets a chance just come over and just go over everything. Now I got extremely lucky because he was actually in the neighborhood at the time and was at my door in 10 minutes. Let me start with when his Nhan pulled up the first words out of their mouth. How are you, sir. Immediately showed respect. After that, these two guys worked every single sprinkle ahead, changing them, fixing them adjusting them and then giving me suggestions on how to use the system correctly. What time to turn the system on and off. I could not have been happier with the service that they gave me. Five stars for Gerard and his men. Thank you and you made a customer for life."

"I have only had one treatment for the lawn. I still have four more treatments to go. The actual lawn aeration does not take place until the fall. I hope it all works out. So far, so good."

"LM Irrigation installed a new Orbit B-hyve smart sprinkler system at my home. The LM employees were on time, extremely knowledgeable, professional and thoroughly competent in setting up sprinkler heads, underground tubing and connections to all my zones. They tested all the equipment and the timer as well as assisting me to connect to my WiFi app. The owner Luigi is a skilled contractor and was a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend his LM Irrigation service, repair and installation company."

"My regular sprinkler service company became unresponsive and missed 2 appointments for spring turn-up. Home Advisor put me in touch with Mike's BackFlow, and he called back the same day and scheduled an appointment the next day. He was on-time, worked quickly and charged a fair price. I'll be calling them back in the fall for the winterization."

"All went extremely well. The Heartland crew, led by Harvie, arrived on time and went right to work. They worked through the day and did everything that was expected. I have some other work to be done, and I would definitely hire Heartland again to do that work."

Lawns questions, answered by experts

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.

Debris removal is often included in the overall cost of having a tree removed from your property. However, tree maintenance service companies do not always include debris removal in their pricing, so ask any contractors offering tree trimming cost estimates whether or not removal is included. If you want to keep the wood mulch, ask if they charge extra for it as well.

Generally, it is not necessary to remove old mulch before applying a new layer. As organic mulch breaks down, it enriches the soil with nutrients. However, you should remove the old layer if it shows signs of fungus or disease, which can be common in moist areas, or if the total depth is already too thick. Avoid letting the total mulch depth exceed 3 inches, as this can harm plant roots. If you do remove old, disease-free mulch, it can be added to a compost pile.

Most housekeepers won’t handle tasks that require specialized equipment or training, like carpet shampooing, window washing at high levels, or outdoor cleaning. Housekeepers typically dust, vacuum, mop, wash dishes, clean surfaces, and launder linens. It’s best to clarify what services are included before hiring to make sure you’re on the same page.

If you want to take the decomposition process into your hands to speed it up, water and sunlight are key. Of course, you can’t control sunlight yourself, but you can rake leaves into piles in sunny spots in your yard. In terms of using water, you can also moisten the decomposing leaves with water, whether by pouring some from a watering can from time to time or using a hose to moisten them.
