I am reaching out from the Green Lakes area and am interested in obtaining four separate estimates for various yard services. Could you please provide detailed estimates for the following: Front yard cleanup: I would like to request a thorough cleanup of my front yard, including weeding, trimming, and removal of debris. Front yard maintenance: Since I don’t have a lawn, I would like to schedule regular maintenance visits to keep my plants and shrubs looking their best. This would involve occasional weeding and trimming. Front yard sprinkler system tune-up: I would like to ensure my current sprinkler system is functioning optimally, so please include a tune-up in your estimate. Creating gravel paths in the backyard: I would like to create gravel paths and would like your estimate to include grading, edging, and filling.
