This was a general spring cleaning (leaf removal, hedge shrub trimming, weeding of bark covered yard areas, and the 3 workers were able to get through this in just over 1.5 hours. The work was fast, efficient, and exactly what we needed!"

"I have found Rodriguez Landscape Service to be reliable and knowledgeable with excellent customer service. Gardeners have conscientiously worked at turning a somewhat overgrown yard into a neat, tidy, enjoyable garden again. The irrigation crew kept working on a faulty system until it finally seems to be working efficiently and effectively. In addition Raul and his crew are helpful, friendly and listen attentively when I share garden needs. I am very pleased and will continue to have Rodriguez Landscape Service maintain my yard monthly."

"Leo did a great job on our yard clean-up project at a good price. Excellent communication skills which was helpful as this was all done remotely on a second home where I was not present at all for the whole job. This involves a certain amount of trust that the job was done right and Leo sent good pictures of a job well done and there was no hesitation on my part to send the agreed upon payment. He was also very prompt and got the job done quickly within a short window of opportunity. I will looking to set up regular long term yard service with Leo."

Lawns questions, answered by experts

Several tools exist that can help remove unwanted grass. The one you choose depends greatly on how much you need to remove and how hard you'd like to work. A sod or turf cutter is the fastest method while using a shovel is labor-intensive and much slower. You may also need a garden rake, tiller, and wheelbarrow. 

While a rented dumpster can handle a wide variety of materials, there are significant restrictions on what is allowed. Generally, you can dispose of most non-hazardous household junk, yard waste, and construction debris.

Accepted items typically include:

  • Furniture, carpets, old linens, and toys

  • Wood and yard debris

  • Small appliances and excess trash

  • Renovation waste like old finishes, building debris, and roofing materials (unless they contain lead paint or asbestos)

However, you cannot put toxic, flammable, or hazardous materials in a dumpster. Prohibited items almost always include:

  • Paint, gasoline, oil, and other fuels

  • Household cleaners and other chemicals

  • Electronics, batteries, and tires

  • Refrigerators, hot water tanks, and medical waste

Since regulations can vary by location and company, it is essential to check with your dumpster rental provider for their specific list of accepted and prohibited items before you begin.

Unless you plan to use a dump trailer for business purposes, it will be hard to justify the cost of buying one. Even a small, used 6-by-10-foot model could set you back as much as $5,000, and larger, high-quality models can cost up to $15,000 to buy brand-new.

Professional services offer efficient, safe waste and junk removal, ensuring legal compliance and environmental responsibility. Professionals handle items systematically, disposing of them properly or recycling, which contributes to clutter reduction and enhanced property safety.

Hiring a leaf removal company is a reliable way to get rid of a lot of leaves in your yard. Some companies offer a full range of yard cleaning services, while others may only haul away the leaves you gather and bag yourself. If you prefer the DIY route, you can try mulching leaves with your mower, using a leaf blower to collect them, using a leaf tarp to bag them, and more.
