Q: What is the best time to remove holly bushes from my garden?

• <div><p>Dormant seasons like fall and winter are the best times to dig up plants, including holly bushes. Plants aren&rsquo;t growing during these seasons, so the removal process goes a lot quicker. Consider hiring a landscaping team to handle holly bush removal during the cold-weather months for off-season pricing deals, too. </p></div>

Q: What can you put in a dumpster?

• <div><p>You cannot put anything you want into a rented dumpster, as there are significant restrictions on certain items.</p><p>Generally allowed items include:</p><ul><li><p>Household Junk: Furniture, old linens, carpets, toys, small appliances, and excess trash.</p></li><li><p>Construction &amp; Yard Debris: Wood, yard debris, roofing materials, old finishes, and other construction waste.</p></li></ul><p>Commonly prohibited items include:</p><ul><li><p>Hazardous Materials: Toxic waste, medical waste, dangerous chemicals, items with lead paint, and asbestos.</p></li><li><p>Flammables: Gasoline, oil, and fuel.</p></li><li><p>Specific Banned Items: Paint cans, electronics, batteries, tires, refrigerators, and hot water tanks.</p></li></ul><p>Because rules can vary, you should always check with your specific dumpster rental company for their guidelines if you are unsure about an item.</p></div>

Q: Is it hard to clear land?

• <div><p>Clearing land can be incredibly challenging, depending on various factors like the size of the area, the density of vegetation, and the presence of obstacles, such as rocks or stumps. Handling smaller vegetation and brush might be manageable with the right tools and preparation. However, tasks like removing larger trees or dealing with extensive overgrowth may require specialized equipment, expertise, and safety precautions.</p></div>

Q: What do I do if my neighbor is complaining about dead trees?

• <div><p>Your neighbor is not in a good position to know if your trees are truly dead or pose any kind of danger. That&rsquo;s why hiring an arborist or tree service expert can be such an important part of the process. If the trees are still alive and don&rsquo;t pose any threat, you&rsquo;re in the clear (but you may want to document and photograph everything in case events turn sour down the road).</p><p>But if a tree is visibly dead and near the property line, you should remove it to be safe. If a dead tree falls on a neighbor&rsquo;s property, they may have grounds to sue for negligence. If any branches on trees have died, it&rsquo;s a good idea to cut them back for similar reasons.</p></div>

Q: Is it good to burn yard waste?

• <div><p>Burning yard waste can be an efficient method for large amounts. However, burning has health and environmental risks. Smoke can aggravate respiratory conditions, expose you to carbon monoxide, and cause irritation. Fire produces greenhouse gases and may start wildfires. Minimize risks by burning clean, dry, natural materials. Stay upwind and monitor the fire closely. </p></div>

"Jake with Storm Irrigation is extremely knowledgeable, trustworthy, and dependable. We bought a new house and he has installed both the lawn sprinkler system and the outdoor landscaping lights. Both work excellently, and the lighting is arrestingly beautiful…well worth the investment. Jake gets the work done reliably and fast, very low maintenance, and is a perfectionist. I highly recommend Storm Irrigation to everyone. (Most recently): I’ve now purchased everything that Storm Irrigation offers, from sprinkler system to landscaping lights to rain gutter drainage system and now a bubbling rock. All are outstanding. Jake installs everything quickly and thoroughly with no hassles. If I need a service call, it is handled quickly and the problem is fixed right away. The prices are fair and the company is very trustworthy. What I first said 10 months ago (above) is still true today: You can’t go wrong with Storm Irrigation."
