I'm in search of help for a small cleanup task in my yard. The job includes replacing some worn-out soil, adding a weed barrier, and taking out a dead cactus along with two other dead plants. Additionally, I need to replace the cement box around one of my crawl space vents (I'm not sure what it's called).
I've reached out to five different landscaping companies, but they all seem to ghost me as soon as I send them pictures of the work needed, which makes me think that my job is just too small for them.
Is there anyone besides landscapers I can contact for this task, or any advice on how to find someone willing to tackle this cleanup?

I’d be a bit cautious about who you hire for this. It’s a small job, but there’s a lot that can go wrong if they’re not experienced. Just a heads up!
Have you checked out TaskRabbit? I just downloaded the app, and it seems like you can connect with local people for random jobs. Might be just what you need!
Have you thought about hiring a handyman service? There’s a company near me that specializes in smaller yard jobs and they've been great! Might be worth checking out if there’s one in your area.
Try reaching out to folks you know. A friend of mine found someone great for their landscaping needs just by asking around. It’s often better than going through larger companies—they might be more reliable too!
Good idea! I’ll definitely ask some friends and see if they have recommendations.
