Dylan and his crew are incredible. We had a huge area of invasive phragmites and bittersweet brush that I thought would take several days to clear. They cleared in a single day. Really responsive and super efficient. Great work.

Brush Chipping questions, answered by experts

Many recycling facilities accept asphalt shingles and then process and reuse them in various applications such as road construction and pavement. Before recycling, remove any nails or other metal components from the shingles to avoid contamination. If recycling facilities are unavailable, you can dispose of asphalt shingles at a dumping site, but homeowners should check local regulations and guidelines for proper disposal procedures. Hiring a professional roofing contractor experienced in eco-friendly disposal methods can ensure that your asphalt shingles don’t just end up in a landfill.

Professionals use appropriate equipment to prevent property damage and ensure efficiency.

To remove old grass effectively, you typically need to dig to one to two inches. This depth typically allows you to reach the root system of the grass, ensuring thorough removal. However, if the grass is a particularly dense or deep-rooted variety (such as Bermuda grass), or if you're planning to replace it with a different landscaping feature, you may need to dig deeper to loosen the soil and remove any underlying roots.

Don’t pick up dirt after aerating. Even though it's tempting because soil cores are incredibly unsightly, these cores and the dirt they leave behind are ecologically important. This is what keeps your grass looking beautiful and growing healthily. The soil cores need two to three weeks to decompose, but you can swat them with a rake if their natural shape bothers you.

Services include regular garbage pickup, recycling, and bulk waste disposal options.
