Retain/hire relevant landscaping services
If the decedent owns a home, whether the house is placed on the market quickly and needs to look its best for sale or will sit vacant for some time and needs to look maintained to deter thieves, it is important to keep up with general yard maintenance. If the decedent used a landscaping service, the best choice is often to just keep using that service. If they did not, neighbors will often be willing to share the name of the company they use, so you know you’ll be hiring someone reliable who will be in the neighborhood each week.
