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
- Agree which areas get cleared and whether the leaves are hauled, bagged or mulched into beds
- Rake or blow the lawn first, then beds, walks and window wells, before the leaves mat down under snow
- Bag or haul the leaves and sweep driveways and gutters at the curb so nothing washes toward the storm drain
- 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.
