Q: How do you clean an overgrown yard?

• <div><p>The best way to clean an overgrown yard is to create a multi-stage game plan, from clearing out the debris to cleaning up the edges around hardscaping and landscape curbing. Get rid of yard debris like worn furniture and broken tools first, then start trimming and raking what&rsquo;s left. Mow the grass, trim the hedges, and rake leaves away. Once that&rsquo;s complete, move on to more detailed work, like pulling weeds and replanting gardens.</p></div>

Q: How often should I mulch leaves?

Q: Are there any safety precautions I should take when removing thorn bushes?

• <div><p>A thorn bush isn&rsquo;t likely to do serious damage, but it&rsquo;ll definitely hurt if you get a thorn or two in your hand or arm. When removing thorn bushes, always wear thick gloves, long sleeves, and safety goggles to protect against thorns and dirt. If dealing with larger bushes or unfamiliar terrain, consider enlisting a helper for assistance.</p></div>

They were unable to locate the leak, so they installed a radio transmitter that would automatically shut off the water after each use. This didn't work, however, because our water bills are still very high. We intend to contact the company about this issue, however, to get it rectified.

"Wow how lucky am I. Earth and Arbor did an excellent job. I would use this company again in a heartbeat. I received a call back the day I requested a quote and within twenty-four hours I had one. I accepted their quote and we agreed on a start date. Earth and Arbor by far exceeded my expectations. They did exactly what I asked for and then some in my opinion. They were on time, they returned all calls immediately and it seemed important to them that I was completely satisfied with their work.
