Projects with Julia LLC

Balcony masonry is the type of project that clients have to build trust to hire out the service. This project was 5th floor, no elevator. Half the blocks went down and the client salvaged half of the new ones to be carried up. Beautiful weather for this type of work!

In Wisconsin, we take pride in our lawns. But allowing the leaves to linger this fall can save you some effort and help pollinators prepare for winter!

As the monarchs begin their migration south, many butterfly, bee, and moth species are hunkering down in the leaf litter. This year, opt to to protect overwintering insects!

If you can’t resist the temptation to rake, try piling your leaves around trees or perennials rather than bagging them up. This will provide refuge for pollinators while also insulating your landscaping from the perils of the Wisconsin winter! 🍂

Glad to see WWBIC as a sponsor for the women in business conference today. It’s glorious weather for yardwork, but taking a moment to plan and connect to build clientele.

If you give a mouse a cookie, homeowner edition. There’s propane tanks in the closet so we might as well clean out the solvents and such from the basement too. To Clean Sweep we go!

It’s still time for yard transformations. It doesn’t take long to add some flowers and mulch and I’m ready to help! Www.ProjectsWithJulia.com

In the business of service, it’s not the type of work the client needs, but the quality and skill that matters. It’s an not just a lawn for this neighbor, it’s the fulfillment of the finish on a custom home. Free estimates! See you soon. Www.ProjectsWithJulia.com
