"The owner of God’s Gardner pruned my trees and trimmed my shrubs Tuesday morning on March 17, 2026. He went above and beyond and mowed around the trees while placing debris and brush onto his trailer in a very neat manner. God’s Gardner did this job with perfection in an immaculate manner and fully exceeded my expectations. Wow, if I could give this Business 1000 Stars I would do exactly that. His is very professional and dependable and communicated when he was on his way. I highly appreciate his dedication and being extremely fair in the pricing of this job. In my opinion, I don’t believe there’s any business in the world that could top God’s Gardner’s Business. When I tell you he is the real deal ten toes down, the utmost Best! I highly recommend God’s Gardner to all! God’s Gardner, YOU are “Super “ appreciated!"

Leaf Removal questions, answered by experts

You can paint over lead paint, or “encapsulate” it with a special paint that includes an ingredient called an encapsulant. The EPA approves encapsulation as a lead paint removal method as long as the paint remains undisturbed. Standard types of paint without an “encapsulant” from the big box stores or hardware stores do not meet EPA standards for remediation of lead-based paint.

While not all homes built before 1978 contain lead paint, enough do, so you’ll still want to test to be on the safe side. The federal government banned lead-based paint for homes in 1978, but your state may have banned lead before that time. Around 24% of homes built between 1960 and 1977 contained lead-based paint, while 87% of homes built before 1940 contained lead-based paint.

Unfortunately, lead dust does not look different from any other type of dust. You cannot detect it with the naked eye. To determine if you have lead dust in your home, you will need to hire a local company to take a sample from the paint and test it for you in a lab.

While the EPA provides guidelines for homeowners to perform DIY lead paint removal, it is a risky process and generally not recommended due to serious health risks and strict regulatory requirements. The process requires precise safety precautions, such as wearing a respirator and protective eyeglasses, creating sealed exits, and using a HEPA vacuum for cleanup. To ensure the job is done safely, effectively, and in compliance with regulations, it is highly recommended to hire a professional lead abatement company. Certified professionals have the necessary training, experience, and specialized equipment (like chemical strippers and HEPA vacuums) to handle and dispose of hazardous materials safely.

Lead removal services typically cost between $1,000 and $5,000, depending on the extent of lead presence, the property size, and the complexity of the abatement process.
