Clear yard debris and firewood
Why it matters
Firewood stacked against the house is a direct bridge for termites and carpenter ants to enter your home's framing. Leaf litter against the siding traps moisture and accelerates rot.
Stop forgetting to do this.
Hearth generates a personalized maintenance schedule so you never miss another clear yard debris and firewood.
