A reset for the yard
A cleanup clears what has piled up: fallen leaves, dead plants, weeds in the beds and debris on the paths. Most yards look new again after one visit. A layer of mulch afterward keeps the weeds from coming back.
Green waste carts
Most cities in Napa and Solano counties give homes a green waste cart for yard trimmings. The pro fills it and bags or piles the rest next to it. Check your hauler's rules for extra bundles on pickup day.
Watering
New plants need water through the first dry season. If your drip or sprinkler system has broken heads or leaks, fix them in the same visit.
