Please read ENTIRE ad before responding. Thank you! I have an ongoing yard project, total property area is approximately 1/5th of an acre (yard area is probably less than half that space). I am working it in stages, to be completed hopefully by June. TASKS: 1. Pick up and load loose debris (stones, rocks, sticks, vegetation, misc wind blown trash) into pickup truck parked at curb. Existing retaining wall will stay. 2. Use hand tools (shovels, pick ax, etc.) to remove partially buried debris, load into truck. 3. Use hand tools to remove existing vegetation, load into truck. 4. Use hand tools to level small mound of dirt/clay. 5. Dig out 4"-6" of material from curb strip, load into truck. Possibly: 6. Spray ground clear over entire area. 7. Spread weed cloth and/or plastic sheeting over entire area. 8. Spread ground cover material over entire area (either unloading from truck or loading from existing pile). Extra: 9. Install wood/wire perimeter fence with gates. 10. Install decorative vegetation. 11. Powerwash side walk.
