"We needed a super tall crepe myrtle tree trimmed in our yard so we contacted Saul with Sola De Vegas Landscaping. They responded to our text right away, came out, looked at the tree with us, walked through the needs to make sure we were both on the same page with how much to cut off and how the tree would grow, gave us an estimate, and scheduled with us to come back to get the work done. They also hauled all the tree branches to the dump. It was super easy, convenient, and the work they did on the tree looks great! 10/10 recommend and we’ll be using them again!"

"We hired Green Magic to makeover our yard. I gave Geno a sketch and a "vision" of what we wanted and he made ir come to life! We were extremely pleased with how quickly the team worked, and how the finished project turned out, but most of all, with working with Geno. Green Magic truly transformed our yard into a space we can use and enjoy, just like magic!"

Lawns questions, answered by experts

Maintains yard aesthetics, reduces pest habitats, and promotes healthy greenery.

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.

Small amounts of geese are actually good for the environment. They help spread seeds and lead to more plant growth, but they’re often an invasive species, particularly Canadian geese. This means a small gaggle can quickly grow into a level that litters your lawn with bald patches and excrement.

The legality of blowing leaves into the street depends on your city or county laws. Many cities have codes that restrict blowing leaves into the street because it can obstruct the view of nearby drivers and make cars dirty, not to mention angering neighbors. Violations can result in a fine or other problems. You can check the codes on your municipal government website to learn more local guidelines, but avoid spraying leaves into streets for now.

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.
