Who is responsible for cleaning up debris from someone else’s tree that falls on my property?

• <div><p>If debris from a tree located in a government-owned space (such as a sidewalk, public school, or government property) falls in your yard, it is the city’s or state government’s responsibility to have the debris cleaned up. On the other hand, most states only hold a neighbor liable for cleaning up their tree’s debris if they were negligent in caring for the tree.</p></div>

How deep should you dig to remove old grass?

• <div><p>To remove old grass effectively, you typically need to dig to <b>one to two inches</b>. This depth typically allows you to reach the root system of the grass, ensuring thorough removal. However, if the grass is a particularly dense or deep-rooted variety (such as <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-bermuda-grass.htm">Bermuda grass</a>), or if you're planning to replace it with a different landscaping feature, you may need to dig deeper to loosen the soil and remove any underlying roots.</p></div>

Can you mulch too many leaves?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

I have a big shed in my yard that needed to be repainted. Isaac washed the entire thing. He then sanded all the existing chipping paint and put a fresh coat on. Looks brand new!
