"I asked Trejo's Lanscaping to trim my bushes and to weed in the front and back, and he gave me a reasonable quote for the work. I also asked two other companies to give me quotes for the work. I added an extra project to replace the weed fabric and mulch on the parking strip around the front of my property with new weed fabric and medium-sized river rock. I hired Teejo's Lanscaping to do both jobs. Arturo and his two assistants arrived on time to work on the project. They got as far as removing the weed fabric and mulch and trimming the bushes along the side fence when it started to rain heavily. We agreed to stop work until the weather was better. I had to wait a week before he was able to come back. After laying down the new weed fabric, they carefully poured the rock around the established plants. Arturo trimmed the front plants and cleaned up the leaf litter under the plants. He and Pablo moved to the back to weed and to trim the bushes. I was happy with the appearance of the front and back yards and the cost . I will definitely hire him again in the future."

"Fredy and his crew are professional, communicative, and thorough. Most important to me, they approach working with trees carefully and lovingly. Our giant palm looks like a new tree! I was worried about having this work done because the tree is such a special part of our home. The crew did a fabulous job and cleaned all the many fronds so well that you wouldn't have known the yard had been full of them during the trimming process. I highly recommend MC Landscapes."

"The work was not to be performed in the area where the contractors serviced. They should not be charged for the referral as the work was 200 miles from my home. The work was near Redding not Pebble Beach. I did not make any request for work in PB"

"Cruz is XLT. Brought his crew, trucks a hauling trailer to take care of our much needed yard clean up on short notice and did a very thorough job. Came back next day and did gutters. Cruz will be doing our regular yard care and we could not be happier. I have used many other landscaping services over the years and GreenEarth Landscaping stands out as the best of them. Very pleased. Note, he goes by his last name, Cruz."

"I had a great experience with Valle Landscaping for a spring cleanup. My yard looked amazing afterward—so fresh and inviting that I immediately wanted to spend time outside and enjoy it. Denis was professional, prompt, and very easy to work with, especially when it came to staying within our budget. He was also great about following up with me and addressing my concerns, which I really appreciated. I valued his attention to detail and overall care for the space. I would highly recommend Valle Landscaping to anyone looking for quality landscaping work! Don’t hesitate to engage with Denis—you’ll be glad you did."

Leaf Removal questions, answered by experts

While not all homes built before 1978 contain lead paint, enough do, so you’ll still want to test to be on the safe side. The federal government banned lead-based paint for homes in 1978, but your state may have banned lead before that time. Around 24% of homes built between 1960 and 1977 contained lead-based paint, while 87% of homes built before 1940 contained lead-based paint.

You should ask a few questions to ensure that your potential lead removal professional is experienced and qualified to handle lead-paint abatement safely, legally, and properly.

  • What are your qualifications and experience removing lead-based paint?

  • Are you licensed and certified to remove lead-based paint?

  • How do you test for lead paint?

  • What methods do you use for lead-based paint abatement?

  • What do you plan to do with the hazardous material when you remove it from the home?

  • Do you do replacement and painting work or removal only?

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), hazardous waste is generally classified into four main categories:

1. Characteristic Wastes: These exhibit at least one of four hazardous traits: ignitability (flammable, like gasoline), corrosivity (can rust or decompose materials, like car batteries), reactivity (unstable and can explode, like aerosol cans), or toxicity (harmful when ingested, like lead-based paint).

2. Listed Wastes: These are specific wastes from manufacturing and industrial processes that the EPA has officially designated as hazardous. They include byproducts from processes that use solvents, pesticides, and other chemicals.

3. Universal Wastes: These are commonly generated hazardous items that are subject to streamlined regulations. Examples include batteries, pesticides, mercury-containing equipment (e.g., bulbs), and some lamps.

4. Mixed Wastes: This category includes waste that contains both hazardous and radioactive components, making it subject to regulation by both the EPA and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Chlorine has a shelf life of between six months and several years, depending on its type and formulation. Liquid chlorine can often lose its effectiveness in just a few weeks. Pool owners can find themselves with overstock that they need to get rid of. The best way to dispose of excess chlorine is to take it to a hazardous waste collection site and let the pros handle it.  

While the EPA provides guidelines for homeowners to perform DIY lead paint removal, it is a risky process and generally not recommended due to serious health risks and strict regulatory requirements. The process requires precise safety precautions, such as wearing a respirator and protective eyeglasses, creating sealed exits, and using a HEPA vacuum for cleanup. To ensure the job is done safely, effectively, and in compliance with regulations, it is highly recommended to hire a professional lead abatement company. Certified professionals have the necessary training, experience, and specialized equipment (like chemical strippers and HEPA vacuums) to handle and dispose of hazardous materials safely.
