Customers say: Quick response

"Hector. his family members and crew worked really hard. We worked together and came up with a plan for front, back yards and for existing slope around large Redwood trees. Hector came back with additional ideas that really improved our original ideas. Hector amazed me when it came to hooking up to the water system and was able to provide sprinklers for the lawn, plants and trees and set up a timer. It was a pleasure working with Hector, he stayed in contact with me and discussed details and suggestion through out my project. They installed new lawn's, some small plants and flowers, several trees and installed Bark as ground cover. Very Happy with the finished project, I will defiantly recommend H.G. Landscapes to others who have had there homes rebuilt. Thank You Hector"

"We've used Holland's team for the last two years to clean up our property (3/4 acre) after a brutal winter. Our lot collects a lot of pine needles, broken branches, and pine cones. Tad's team does an excellent job of picking up all the yard debris while ensuring the plants and watering system are left intact. We plan use them once again in the spring of 2027..."

"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

There are several ways to decompose yard waste quickly. The first step is to move all debris into a compost bin or pile. From there, microorganisms, bacteria, and insects will break down the yard waste into compost. To speed things up, shred the waste into smaller pieces, add live worms to the pile, or introduce nitrogen-rich compost accelerators like grass clippings, coffee grounds, and manure. Turn the compost over every few days. This process, called aerating, allows oxygen to get in and accelerate decomposition.

Reducing household waste is the best way to save money on junk removal costs in the long run. Reusable kitchen, pantry, and cleaning supplies will make a large dent, as will creating an easy compost and recycling system in your home. Additionally, create an ongoing practice of recycling, donating, or repurposing items that are ready to go.

It may sound icky, but yes, urine encourages microbial activity that breaks down organic matter faster. It’s rich in nitrogen, which helps balance carbon-heavy materials like dry leaves or straw. Use sparingly and apply it to a well-balanced pile, not one already high in nitrogen. 

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.

The time that it takes to fill in a pool with dirt varies based on the size of the pool and the equipment you have available. Using heavy equipment, like an excavator rather than a shovel, will significantly cut down on the time it takes to complete the project. With the right equipment, it may only take a day or two. However, after the initial filling, the dirt will continue to settle over the following weeks and months. You may need to add more dirt to make the empty area level with the rest of the yard.
