Q: If my neighbor’s tree drops leaves in my yard, is it their responsibility to clean them up?

• <div><p>No. Unfortunately, leaf removal is your responsibility, no matter what tree the leaves come from. It would be pretty hard to regulate leaves since they can be moved by the wind or water. Imagine the detective skills it would take to determine which tree each leaf came from and who was then liable for removing it. Instead, plan to remove any leaves on your property.</p></div>

Q: Should I get rid of old mulch around my tree?

• <div><p>Unless it&rsquo;s rubber or you need to prune suckers and remove weeds, you shouldn&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: What is included in waste management services?

• <div><p>Services include regular garbage pickup, recycling, and bulk waste disposal options.</p></div>

Q: Can you make your own mulch?

• <div><p>Yes, you can absolutely make your own mulch, and there are a few ways to go about it. First, you can lay down pine needles or mulched leaves if you&rsquo;re <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/should-you-mulch-in-fall.htm">mulching in the fall</a>. In the spring and summer, you can use mulched grass clippings. Alternatively, you can lay down a few layers of newspaper in your garden and gently wet the paper to keep it in place.</p></div>

Q: How do I prepare my lawn for xeriscaping?

• <div><p>If you are xeriscaping a lawn from scratch, your best bet for preparing the lawn is to work with a xeriscaping specialist in your area. The most common first step to making the transformation, however, will be to remove the turfgrass from your lawn. The subsequent steps will often include amending the soil to support new plants and installing low-drip or drip irrigation systems.</p></div>
