Palm Springs Meiselman Reborn

Yard Cleanup

Saturday was cleanup day. Our gardner arrived with 5 of the hardest working guys I'd ever seen - and they kicked ass. They pulled about 15 dead Oleanders and replaced with new plants. Pulled about 4 stumps, 2 trees and they even uncovered a side yard we didn't know existed! Well, we knew the space was there but it was so full of yard waste and garbage that we kind of ignored it. I think this will become the main access to the rear yard (they call them service entrances, but that sounds a bit fancy...).

They also trimmed our palms. These palms had not been trimmed in at least 10-15 years and the task was daunting. When they are so over grown they are usually filled with rats. No way in hell you'd get me up there. Must be why the palms cost us $100 each to trim!

Three truckloads to the green dump. They worked straight through the day with few breaks. We gave them a 12 pack of Bud Light around 4:00 - in addition to a rather large sum of money. But when all was said and done - we got a hell of a deal.
