How do I dispose of excess wood?

• <div><p>Wood is a very versatile material, so you can either compost it, use it for firewood, turn it into wood chips, or save it for future projects. If you don’t want excess wood cluttering your garage or workspace, you can call local community centers or schools to see if they have a need for it.</p></div>

Can you rent a dumpster for yard waste?

• <div><p>Yes, renting a dumpster is one of the most effective ways to remove yard waste. The average cost to rent a dumpster is <b>$400</b> <b>per week</b>, but it usually costs less for yard waste removal because you should only need a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/dumpster-sizes.htm">small dumpster</a>. A more cost-effective alternative is to use dumpster bags for yard removal, especially when clearing lighter debris like leaves, branches, grass clippings, and weeds.</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>

Shea is very professional. Did great work and updated me along the way with any issues or delays. Still waiting on a brush pick up but no doubt they will complete that when weather gets better.

This was the worst service experience I’ve had. He showed up with the brush tool I have myself intending on using just that. It was only because the end of our vent was damaged (the one part that was not his fault) that he decided to use a vacuum. He had no intention on cleaning from the inside....

Bernardo and his crew did an excellent job. House needed lots of scraping before painting. They were courteous and and cleaned up pretty well. Few paint chips were left but that is because the wind blew them when scraping and they left late on the final day. I would certainly recommend them.

Brush Chipping questions, answered by experts

Wood is a very versatile material, so you can either compost it, use it for firewood, turn it into wood chips, or save it for future projects. If you don’t want excess wood cluttering your garage or workspace, you can call local community centers or schools to see if they have a need for it.

Yes, renting a dumpster is one of the most effective ways to remove yard waste. The average cost to rent a dumpster is $400 per week, but it usually costs less for yard waste removal because you should only need a small dumpster. A more cost-effective alternative is to use dumpster bags for yard removal, especially when clearing lighter debris like leaves, branches, grass clippings, and weeds.

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.

Unless it’s rubber or you need to prune suckers and remove weeds, you shouldn’t need to get rid of the old mulch around your tree. Simply push old mulch a few inches away from the trunk of your tree and then top it off with enough fresh mulch to reach 3 to 4 inches in height.

Reducing household waste is the best way to save money on junk removal costs in the long run. Reusable kitchen, pantry, and cleaning supplies will make a large dent, as will creating an easy compost and recycling system in your home. Additionally, create an ongoing practice of recycling, donating, or repurposing items that are ready to go.
