The prongs where the lights connect to the wire is not reliable and one little move can cause it to loose its connection.
Pet Waste Removal
We will collect all of your pets waste in the yard and take it with us, not leave it in your trash can to stink.
Tree trimming/pruning
Trees can need to be trimmed for several reasons.
Thinning or no grass under tree: This is usually because you have Bermuda grass which is a sun grass and the tree is blocking the sunlight from passing through. "Thinning" the tree will allow more sunlight to pass through, therefore, allowing the grass to grow again.
"Canopy" hanging to low: The canopy of the tree is considered to bottom portion. From time to time you will need to raise the canopy which basically means cutting off the lower branches of the tree to create more distance from the ground to the lowest part of the tree.
Mulch
Mulch is commonly considered a top dressing for cosmetics. While mulch does make the beds look nice cosmetically, it's real purpose is to insulate the soil of which your landscaping is planted in to control the fluctuating rise and fall in the soil. It serves the same purpose as the insulation in your attic of your home..it keeps you and your home at a consistent temperature. For it's full effect have 4"-6" of mulch year round.
Shredded hardwood mulch is the most common and recommended as it does not wash or blow away.
Scalping
Scalping is mowing low and bagging, removing all but approx. 1" of grass and necessary in the spring. This will remove any winter growth and thatch build up letting the sun shine on the soil and allowing your lawn to green up quicker and have less weeds.
Power Washing
Cleaning of concrete, brick or other hard surfaces is necessary from time to time due to mold, mildew and dirt that collects over time.
