Defensible space in Bonneville Hills

What 24/7 Express Handyman Service does on site

• Cuts dead grass, weeds and brush and rakes up leaf and needle litter in the first 30 feet around the house.
• Pulls bark mulch, dead plants and stored combustibles back from the foundation and swaps bark for gravel on request.
• Trims low, dead branches reachable from the ground or a short ladder and hauls all cut material away.

How it works

1. The yard is walked with the homeowner, or reviewed from photos, to mark what stays, what goes and where debris is hauled.
2. The cleanup is priced in writing.
3. Work moves from the house outward: the first 5 feet, then out to 30 feet, then any extra area agreed on.
4. Referred out: tree work near power lines or above ladder reach (arborist), pesticide or herbicide application, and irrigation backflow testing or repairs to the potable connection.

What happens next

• The written scope and price come first; photos of the cleared zones and a list of anything referred out follow the visit.
• Photograph the damage before anything is moved and keep every receipt; 24/7 Express Handyman Service provides an itemised invoice your insurer may ask for. The dispatch fee and job cost are paid by you on the day.

In Bonneville Hills

Bonneville Hills is a predominantly single-family residential neighborhood closest to Foothill Village, a semi-regional shopping center, and its streetscapes resemble older East Bench neighborhoods, with uniform home setbacks and extensive street trees. (Bonneville Hills Neighborhood | Council District 6 (Salt Lake City)) The Bonneville Hills neighborhood consists of predominantly single-family homes built during the middle of the 20th century. (East Bench Master Plan (Salt Lake City Planning Division, 2017)) The Salt Lake City segment of the Wasatch fault generates large earthquakes of about magnitude 7 on average every 1,350 years, and the most recent was about 1,300 years ago. (Maps Show Potential Geologic Effects of a Magnitude 7 Earthquake | Utah Geological Survey) A brick building with rows of bricks turned endways every five to six rows may be unreinforced masonry, a pattern once used to add strength before steel reinforcing was required. (Unreinforced Masonry | Earthquakes (Utah Division of Emergency Management)) Utah updated its building codes in the 1970s to outlaw construction of new unreinforced masonry buildings, so URM buildings are typically older structures.
