"I called Gerard as I was just done with trying to do it myself. Adjusting the sprinkler heads, fixing leaks, broken valves. So I asked him when he gets a chance just come over and just go over everything. Now I got extremely lucky because he was actually in the neighborhood at the time and was at my door in 10 minutes. Let me start with when his Nhan pulled up the first words out of their mouth. How are you, sir. Immediately showed respect. After that, these two guys worked every single sprinkle ahead, changing them, fixing them adjusting them and then giving me suggestions on how to use the system correctly. What time to turn the system on and off. I could not have been happier with the service that they gave me. Five stars for Gerard and his men. Thank you and you made a customer for life."

"I have only had one treatment for the lawn. I still have four more treatments to go. The actual lawn aeration does not take place until the fall. I hope it all works out. So far, so good."

"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."

Lawns questions, answered by experts

A land-clearing project begins with assessing and preparing the property and pulling any necessary permits with your municipal building department. Clearing can begin after the project details are ironed out between you and your pro and a written contract is signed. Pros will bring out the necessary equipment and crew to first remove trees, stumps, brush, and vegetation. Your pro will then load up and haul away the project debris, and depending on the project, they may finish by grading the cleared land. 

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.

It’s unlikely your leaves are a hazard, especially if you get to them while they’re dry. However, a couple of rare risks exist. University studies suggest that decaying leaves can produce organochlorines, toxic pollutants similar to man-made PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls), so avoid keeping them in an enclosed area.

Also, leaves and compost may cause the growth of fungi that can cause diseases like histoplasmosis and aspergillosis, as well as mold spores that are unhealthy for human lungs. Again, severe issues are rare, but those with compromised immune systems or allergies to mold should wear face masks when directly handling leaves.

Foxtail grass is not native to the United States, so it is considered an invasive plant. Giant foxtail originated in eastern Asia, Green foxtail is native to Europe, and Yellow foxtail is native to Eurasia. This grass variety is one of many common invasive plant species that you should keep out of your yard and garden beds as much as possible.

Always do a poop sweep before mowing your lawn. Running your mower over dog waste can be messy, unsanitary, and smelly, and it can spread the poop to other parts of your lawn. Plus, you won’t be able to get it out of the grass (or the mower blades) easily.
