Before we arrive, please take care of these items so we can start on time and work safely:

• Provide access to the work area (gate code, unlocked gate, or someone available to open it).
• Secure pets away from work zones and keep children away from active work areas.
• Clear the work areas by moving personal items like furniture, toys, fragile décor, hoses, and anything you don’t want dusty or in the way.

Please also tell us ahead of time if:

• there are areas to avoid (fragile plants, sprinkler issues, restricted zones, etc.),
• there are priority areas you care most about (example: “focus on the front beds first”),
• you have any special concerns (example: patio details, tight access, neighbors, parking limitations).

The clearer the access and priorities are, the faster we can work and the smoother the job goes.
