Describe the work clearly
- Choose the closest service: leaves, branches, brush, landscaping debris, storm debris, or a mixed yard pile.
- Measure the pile's length, width, and average height when practical.
- Count bags and note whether material is dry, damp, or waterlogged.
- Show gates, steps, slopes, soft ground, and the distance to a driveway.
- Disclose soil, sod, stone, stumps, root balls, treated wood, trash, or chemicals.
Take three useful photos
Take one wide view, one side view that shows depth, and one view of the loading route. Do not move or approach unsafe storm debris to get a picture.
