If utility lines are a concern, please contact your local electric provider for advice. Please be sure to contact JULIE prior to any stump removal or stump grinding. |
| l | Lawn care. Inspect electric lawn mowers and outside extension cords for fraying, broken plugs and cracked or broken housings.
