"This company was very professional. The work that was done is amazing. The project was completed in a timely manner. Everything that I wanted done was done right. They even cleaned up after themselves. The piece of property that I needed cleaned up had weeds that were peeking over a 6ft fence. It would have been impossible for me to accomplish this project. I cannot stress enough how hard this company worked. The owner was polite and friendly. He came out to personally make sure I was pleased with the work."
I run a lawn care service which includes mowing, edging, weed eating, hedge trimming, tree trimming and tree removal, seeding, weeding, deicing/salt spreading, junk/waste removal.
"I have someone coming out to check his work, but the pictures he sent look great. He was super-nice and finished the whole project in about three days. I was very impressed. He kept in touch and was responsive to my concerns."
Locally home grown and native to the Odessa, Midland region. I offer a high value service with no hidden fees or charges. I offer payment plans for bigger jobs if necessary. I back up my work not only with my level of customer satisfaction but also professionalism and cleanliness. I also offer mobile oil changes and brake services.
"Lawn Patrol removed five dead pecan trees and one mulberry tree. Their price was great, even with the bee problem in the mulberry. I look forward to working with them again."
"Gizmo’s owner was very personable and took less than an hour to cut our tall weeds. We did, however, have a communication snafu in that we had written down two different calendar dates for the service. Also, I had understood that the weeds would be cut but that no weed retardant would be applied, as it was so much extra. However, I had not realized that the yard would not be cleaned up for the price but that the weeds would be left on the yard in large pieces. I appreciated the fact that they accepted credit cards but felt that, overall, $200 was rather expensive for a small back yard."
"Service was exceptional. The two individuals were very knowledgeable and took the time to check every part of our system out to make sure it was in working order. They also explained how everything worked as well. Would highly recommend this company to others. Very nice, pleasant individuals."
A standard home lawn mower with sharp blades can handle a thin layer of leaves without issue. You may need to make a couple of passes within several days to mulch leaves down, but your mower shouldn’t struggle. If your mower comes with a mulching kit, like an attachment to blow leaves out the side, that’s a good sign it’s ready for fall leaves. Set your mower to the highest or near-highest height for this project so it focuses on the leaves rather than the grass below.
Hiring a leaf removal company is a reliable way to get rid of a lot of leaves in your yard. Some companies offer a full range of yard cleaning services, while others may only haul away the leaves you gather and bag yourself. If you prefer the DIY route, you can try mulching leaves with your mower, using a leaf blower to collect them, using a leaf tarp to bag them, and more.
While a rented dumpster can handle a wide variety of materials, there are significant restrictions on what is allowed. Generally, you can dispose of most non-hazardous household junk, yard waste, and construction debris.
Accepted items typically include:
Furniture, carpets, old linens, and toys
Wood and yard debris
Small appliances and excess trash
Renovation waste like old finishes, building debris, and roofing materials (unless they contain lead paint or asbestos)
However, you cannot put toxic, flammable, or hazardous materials in a dumpster. Prohibited items almost always include:
Paint, gasoline, oil, and other fuels
Household cleaners and other chemicals
Electronics, batteries, and tires
Refrigerators, hot water tanks, and medical waste
Since regulations can vary by location and company, it is essential to check with your dumpster rental provider for their specific list of accepted and prohibited items before you begin.
How often you should maintain your yard depends on your climate and what season it is. A general rule of thumb is to maintain a lawn height of three inches.
Ultimately, pulling weeds vs. spraying them depends on what’s happening in your yard and your personal preferences. Manual weed removal doesn’t introduce any chemicals into your landscape, targets specific problematic plants, produces immediate results, can be free if you go the DIY route, and is inexpensive with a weed service if you only have a handful of weeds. On the other hand, spraying is often preferable for severe weed infestations and situations involving difficult-to-pull weeds because it treats multiple weeds at once, is usually more effective long-term, is less time-consuming, and costs less when done by a pro.
