My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Grass clippings

18 years ago

We had a lawn service last year- fired them this year. But I am wondering if the grass clippings we saved in a mulch pile are safe to use around plants or dug into the soil for new plantings. By the time the grass was cut and the clippings picked up, the chemical was dry. But I'm wondering if chemicals are left even in the dried clippings. I hope they can be used- there's a huge pile of them.
