Customers say: Quick response

"we initially inquired with HG Landscaping for sod, but after talking to Hector, we decided to go with HG for the sprinkler system, sod and wood fence. Hector gave us confidence in his work from day one by showing us mock up photos of what our yard could look like. He started the job quickly (other contractors would bid and schedule us weeks to months out). He showed up as scheduled and would get as much as he could finished in the day. sHe worked with our ideas and incorporated his own expertise to make our new yard beautiful and functional. Hector and his crew are very personable and respectful. We would happily recommend them to anyone with landscaping needs."

He let us know when he was coming as well as when he could not come. We are very happy with his work, would recommend him again. Thank you Larry"

"Carter answered my submittal with a phone call in about 30 seconds. Very nice to see a young, eager entrepreneur building his business. I needed a small slab poured for an HVAC unit, and he had me very detailed plans within a few hours, and competed the job on time and budget. Will definitely be hiring again and it's nice to support local growing talent. 10/10 recommend."

Lawns questions, answered by experts

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.

Pulling weeds once per month is typically often enough to keep most weeds at bay. But in general, it's best to pull weeds as soon as you spot them to prevent deep root growth and slow their spread. To make it easier, plan your weed pulling after rain or after the sprinklers run so the soil will be nice and wet and the weeds will be easier to pull. If you notice moss accompanying weeds, make a plan to remove the moss immediately to prevent damage.

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.

According to the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, there are over 10,000 kinds of mushrooms, and some are harmful to both humans and animals. However, not all mushrooms are harmful—some feed on thatch and wood, which provides nutrients for grass and plants. 

But unless you’re a mushroom expert (mycologist), it can be hard to tell poisonous mushrooms from non-poisonous. So if you have kids or pets (or both), removing them is the safest route to take.

No, it’s not necessary to remove all the leaves from your lawn—in fact, leaving some behind can be beneficial. While it's important to clear thick layers of leaves that can smother your grass, leaving a light scattering of leaves can help feed your soil while also providing safe winter habitat for pollinators like bumble bees. Leftover leaves will eventually break down, enriching the soil and promoting healthy lawn growth.
