Garden -- illegal lawn service

You have to read this Mike McGrath post to believe it. See the guy with the fescue about halfway down.
https://wtop.com/garden-plot/2017/11/mulching-time-protect-bulbs-shrubs-winter-arrives/slide/1/

So basically this lawn service was charging money to break the law.

If your lawn care service feeds your lawn more than McGrath indicates, fire them now.

If they create mulch volcanoes against your tree trunks, fire them now.

If they put down mystery mulch instead of composted leaves, fire them now.

If they want to prune your trees or hedges now, fire them.

Before you hire anybody to work on your lawn or landscaping, ask for their credentials.

In Maryland, you can insist on hiring only licensed tree care experts.

You can also insist on hiring only a Master Gardener -- you can even become one yourself,  see the University of Maryland extension service website.

But don't get cheated into breaking the law.
