Leaf removal in East Bench

What 24/7 Express Handyman Service does on site

• Lawn, beds, walks, patios and window wells raked or blown clear of leaves
• Leaves mulched in place with a mower where they can feed the lawn or beds, or bagged for green waste
• Bags and loose piles hauled away or set out for curbside compost pickup, and hard surfaces swept clean

How it works

1. Agree which areas get cleared and whether the leaves are hauled, bagged or mulched into beds
2. Rake or blow the lawn first, then beds, walks and window wells, before the leaves mat down under snow
3. Bag or haul the leaves and sweep driveways and gutters at the curb so nothing washes toward the storm drain
4. Referred out: leaf-packed roof gutters above ground-level ladder reach go to a gutter or roofing contractor, and snow mold or lawn disease treatment goes to a licensed pesticide applicator

What happens next

• The written scope and price come first; the areas to clear and where the leaves go are settled before any raking starts.
• 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 East Bench

Development in the East Bench neighborhood is relatively young and suburban, with larger lots and homes, curving streets and an abundance of cul-de-sacs, a pattern shaped by the steepness of its location on the slope of the foothills. (East Bench Master Plan (Salt Lake City Planning Division, 2017)) Approximately one-third of East Bench neighborhoods developed prior to World War II. (East Bench Master Plan (Salt Lake City Planning Division, 2017)) A scenario magnitude 7 earthquake is estimated to produce an average fault scarp height of 6.1 feet where faulting occurs along the East Bench, enough displacement to cause irreparable damage to any structure built across the scarp. (Maps Show Potential Geologic Effects of a Magnitude 7 Earthquake | Utah Geological Survey) In a scenario magnitude 7 earthquake, landsliding would likely be most severe on Wasatch Range mountain spurs, threatening downslope development such as the East Bench, although prehistoric landslide deposits on these slopes are relatively rare. (Maps Show Potential Geologic Effects of a Magnitude 7 Earthquake | Utah Geological Survey) Salt Lake City's wildland urban interface code adds fire safety rules for properties near undeveloped natural areas, covering building and roofing materials, how buildings are built, landscaping, and the space required between buildings and wildland.
