YARD SPRING CLEAN-UP!!
WOW.............
our neighbors was getting this done, actually 3 of our neighbors so DH went over and asked the guuy and yeah we can do it right now... we thought they would have to come back becuase we needed to pooper scoop the backyard first but nope!! they were here 3 hours can u belive it!! first they power racked and airated the lawn, then they racked up some leaves and branches on the lawn, then they gave it it's first cut and edge, then weedwacked, then they blew the area, then they seeded, fertilized and covered up with peat moss, then they limed the lawn and then they dug up the beds!! how awesome was that!! totally worth it would have taken us 2 days to do that.... dh just has to keep up now on the lawn and some fertilizer treatments!~~
so happy with how it came out!!! i hope some new grass grows we really want a nice grass this year!!!

Re: YARD SPRING CLEAN-UP!!
We get spring and fall cleanups done and it usually runs us around $500 (for an acre) each time.

Re: YARD SPRING CLEAN-UP!!
That sounds great, but I thought when you treat the lawn you're suppose to do it at different times. Also, I was told that you shouldn't aerate and seed now because the grass will grow, but when summer comes the heat will kill it right away because it's so young?

Re: YARD SPRING CLEAN-UP!!
So he came by yesterday to give me an estimate and it turns out he is going to charge me $170. He wont turn over my flower beds in my ward because they are covered in IVY and he said it is a nightmare to remove...Thats why I wanted him to do it lol.
He asked where I got his name from and I said Megan and Bobby, so he said who is this megan??? I got like 2 or 3 other calls with people saying Megan sent me. He said he was going to call you to thank you. He should give you a discount.
My yard is bigger I guess...Maybe because I live in the "S" curve of a road, I dont know.
I am going to have him do it, just going to wait a few weeks....So I know its not going to be cold anymore.

He's doing our spring clean-up on Monday! Thanks Megan! I did get a quote from Bob Pagano, too, but he was $190... Marcelo was $165.  I gave his wife your last name, Megan - I hope you get something!!
My property is 101x126, but it's shaped like an upside down ice cream cone - the total width at the back of my yard is maybe 20 ft. 
Scott... no tax if you pay cash or write a check to cash.
My DH is going to be so thrilled!!! It's a surprise for him since he works so hard all week and the clean up would take him days! 
Thanks again!!

Re: YARD SPRING CLEAN-UP!!
I doubt that they'd drive to Suffolk, but you never know! If you drive around your neighborhood now, you may just be able to catch someone like Megan did.

Re: YARD SPRING CLEAN-UP!!
I'm actually shopping for a new landscaper because DH doesn't think ours is any good.
Let me know how it all works out for you guys. We have an appointment with Chris Spataro Saturday.
