Work Scope

1. Drainage System Cleaning (Front of House)

✔ Remove Debris – Clear leaves, mud, and blockages from gutters and street-side drains.
✔ Check Pipe Flow – Ensure downspouts and drainage pipes are unobstructed.
✔ Slope Adjustment – Regrade soil near drains to direct water away from the foundation.
✔ Weed & Root Removal – Eliminate vegetation clogging the drainage path.

2. Backyard Garbage Removal

✔ Collect & Sort Waste – Separate recyclables, organic waste, and non-biodegradables.
✔ Dispose Properly – Haul away trash using a 5-ton truck or waste bins.
✔ Pest Control – Spray disinfectant to deter rodents and insects.
✔ Level Ground – Fill any pits or uneven spots left after cleanup.
