Who is responsible for cleaning up debris from someone else’s tree that falls on my property?

• <div><p>If debris from a tree located in a government-owned space (such as a sidewalk, public school, or government property) falls in your yard, it is the city’s or state government’s responsibility to have the debris cleaned up. On the other hand, most states only hold a neighbor liable for cleaning up their tree’s debris if they were negligent in caring for the tree.</p></div>

How do I dispose of old shrubs and roots?

• <div><p>If you have a large number of leftover roots, shrub branches, rocks, and soil to remove from your stump removal project, you may need to call a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/junk-removal/">professional junk removal service</a>. A small truckload of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-junk-removal-cost.htm">junk removal costs</a> between <b>$75 and $125</b> to haul away. You may also have a free composting center in your area where you can haul the materials on your own.</p></div>

Can you mulch too many leaves?

• <div><p>It’s possible to over-mulch leaves. If the leaf mulch is thick enough that it’s blocking and smothering the grass, that’s a problem. Ideally, you should still be able to see the grass when you’re done mulching to ensure its ability to continue growing. The solution is to make another pass at the top layer of leaf mulch to collect some of the top layer.</p></div>

Giant foxtail originated in eastern Asia, Green foxtail is native to Europe, and Yellow foxtail is native to Eurasia. This grass variety is one of many common invasive plant species that you should keep out of your yard and garden beds as much as possible.
