Trimming around markers, monuments, coping and curbing as necessary. 3. Sweeping (blowing) paved surfaces. 4. Leaf removal as necessary. 5. General litter removal, floral tribute removals (once unsightly). 6. Appropriate chemical treatments to the lawn areas. 7. Maintenance and operation of the irrigation system. 16
