"I was extremely reluctant to install a drainage system to solve our backyard flooding issue but Ed convinced me. He was extremely knowledgeable and made me feel like our problem could finally get solved. A few months later we have a nice lawn for the first time since we bought the house!"

"The business owner met with me at my request to review what needed to be done for my lawn and property maintenance. I was not home on the day his crew did the initial mowing and trimming, but the results look great - very neat and professional. I have been told that the clean-up and maintenance of my property will be done on a schedule over a period of time, in order to keep my monthly expenses as reasonable as possible. I was very pleased and grateful to find someone who was respectful of my financial situation and willing to work with me. I would be happy to recommend Choppers Landscaping to anyone."

"All went extremely well. The Heartland crew, led by Harvie, arrived on time and went right to work. They worked through the day and did everything that was expected. I have some other work to be done, and I would definitely hire Heartland again to do that work."

"Very timely response. I met with their arborist the same day I entered the request. They provided sound advice (which was confirmed by others). They also provided a little extra trimming on the property for no charge and made sure that the work produced minimal damage to surrounding plantings. Only complaint was they left some gear behind on the job and I had to call them back to retrieve, which they did the next day. Would call them again for future work."

Lawns FAQs, answered by experts

Maintains yard aesthetics, reduces pest habitats, and promotes healthy greenery.

It can be bad to leave a dead stump in the ground. A stump becomes a hefty piece of dead wood in time and eventually (especially with the help of rain) starts to rot. That makes it a locus point for diseases and pesky insects, as well as a bit of an eyesore. It’s best to remove a tree stump completely before it starts to decay, especially before it starts to fall apart. If the tree was removed because of disease, it’s even more important to fully remove the stump if possible.

Most housekeepers won’t handle tasks that require specialized equipment or training, like carpet shampooing, window washing at high levels, or outdoor cleaning. Housekeepers typically dust, vacuum, mop, wash dishes, clean surfaces, and launder linens. It’s best to clarify what services are included before hiring to make sure you’re on the same page.

You cannot put anything you want into a rented dumpster, as there are significant restrictions on certain items.

Generally allowed items include:

  • Household Junk: Furniture, old linens, carpets, toys, small appliances, and excess trash.

  • Construction & Yard Debris: Wood, yard debris, roofing materials, old finishes, and other construction waste.

Commonly prohibited items include:

  • Hazardous Materials: Toxic waste, medical waste, dangerous chemicals, items with lead paint, and asbestos.

  • Flammables: Gasoline, oil, and fuel.

  • Specific Banned Items: Paint cans, electronics, batteries, tires, refrigerators, and hot water tanks.

Because rules can vary, you should always check with your specific dumpster rental company for their guidelines if you are unsure about an item.

In general, expect to mulch your leaves about once or twice every fall. You want there to be a decent amount of leaves on the ground, but not too much where it’s difficult for the mower to cut through.
