"Hender’s work was precise! I needed someone to inspect all of my sprinklers and replace or repair or adjust any that needed. There were several places in my flower beds and lawn that were not receiving sufficient watering. There were also places where the water pressure was so intense, it was damaging the plants and many places where the risers were too tall to even water the plant instead, it overshot the plant. You corrected and repaired and replaced all that needed and everything looks amazing now! If you need any lawn sprinkler or irrigation work or even help with landscaping and plants, he’s your guy! I will definitely reach out to him for future work."

"HA was a GO TO service finding professional contractors when I lived on the east coast. I almost gave up on HA, Google search and finding a professional who can actually provide xeriscape landscaping. I interviewed 5 contractors on HA who advertised "Landscape and Yard Maintenance" in their Company name but only cut lawns. All of 6 said they could do xeriscape work. They walked my property, estimated and said they would give me and estimated within 2 days. I never heard back from 4 them. I left messages and never heard back from them, no return calls. When I met Chris, he was professional from the start to the finish of his contract. Chris and his team of Landscapers walked the talked, and added a personal touch treating their work as if the job was on their own property, something I have not experienced with Bakersfield contractors. I wish Chris would add property yard maintenance to his services. I would recommend Chris' services, a 5 star contractor."

Lawns FAQs, answered by experts

If you have a lot of trees around your home, mulching all those leaves can smother the lawn. Air and light won't reach the grass and soil if too many leaves have been mulched. Turf grass and other lawn problems can arise if the weather is too wet and excessive leaves have been mulched.

It typically takes six to 12 months for leaves to decompose entirely. The process involves the mulch composting into your lawn to deliver nutrients that facilitate grass growth. The recommended process is to spread a thick layer of leaf mulch over your garden and let it marinate for a few seasons for best long-term results.

Using specialized equipment, they aerate thoroughly, alleviating compaction and enhancing root health.

No, definitely not. Pulling weeds by hand is the single most effective way to remove them because you're eliminating the entire plant—roots and all—so it won’t have a chance to grow or spread. Setting time aside a few times per week to pull weeds can keep them at bay. If the number of weeds gets overwhelming, then you can resort to other methods.

You cannot put anything you want into a rented dumpster, as there are significant restrictions on certain items.

Generally allowed items include:

  • Household Junk: Furniture, old linens, carpets, toys, small appliances, and excess trash.

  • Construction & Yard Debris: Wood, yard debris, roofing materials, old finishes, and other construction waste.

Commonly prohibited items include:

  • Hazardous Materials: Toxic waste, medical waste, dangerous chemicals, items with lead paint, and asbestos.

  • Flammables: Gasoline, oil, and fuel.

  • Specific Banned Items: Paint cans, electronics, batteries, tires, refrigerators, and hot water tanks.

Because rules can vary, you should always check with your specific dumpster rental company for their guidelines if you are unsure about an item.
