"Updating Cesar's work over this past winter. He piled the snow up neatly at the top of the driveway out of the way of the car and the house entrances.. There was so much snow at one time the pile was 12 feet high but it did not get in the way of us parking our cars or getting into the house, That's a real expert and he's just as good on the landscaping work. You won't be disappointed if you hire him."

This is why hiring local businesses is the way to go. Thank you Total Lawn Management for great service."

"I just rescued a young pitbull mix dog and noticed that he was eating the mulch and tree bark from the stump in the yard . I was concerned that he might get sick so I decided to have the stump and mulch removed. I called a few company’s and frank and his father heard my concern and ensured me that they would take care of the job for me and ease my worries. I am beyond happy with the professionalism and dedication they gave my yard. They were efficient and fast. I can’t praise them enough for their work. I even referred them to my nephew who needed some work done. I would definitely call them AGAIN!!!"

"I'm extremely happy with the service performed. They are definitely perfectionists! They cut the lawn twice, dethatched the lawn twice. And then blew the whole lawn. I would highly recommend them to anybody looking for an honest hard-working landscaper."

Lawns questions, answered by experts

Excavators work in tandem with dump trucks to haul away excess dirt and soil. The excavator will dig into the ground and move the excess dirt into a pile. Using a backhoe, the specialist can fill a truck with excavated soil from that pile. They will then drive the truck to a different location where they can dump the material.

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.

If you want to take the decomposition process into your hands to speed it up, water and sunlight are key. Of course, you can’t control sunlight yourself, but you can rake leaves into piles in sunny spots in your yard. In terms of using water, you can also moisten the decomposing leaves with water, whether by pouring some from a watering can from time to time or using a hose to moisten them.

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.

Several leaf-removal tools are available to make this annual process easier, including a leaf grabber, leaf tarps, leaf blowers, and leak vacuums. Each piece of equipment works differently, but they all achieve the same goal of picking up leaves as quickly and easily as possible.
