"Angel and his crew came by on Tuesday 4/21/26 to do a Spring Cleanup on my 1 acre property on the Carmans River in Yaphank. They took down and hauled away 40’ of fence that was destroyed in the blizzard in February, mucked out 2 large Koi Ponds, removed a huge Boxwood and made a 3’ wide, 1’ high mulch border between my lawn and the woods to prevent ticks from getting to the lawn and cleaned up everything including cutting and trimming, all for under $ 800 . I recommend him without hesitation !!!"

"Arcadia has been an incredible help in getting my yard ready for winter. They recently handled my fall cleanup, tackling everything from leaf removal to trimming and preparing the garden beds. The attention to detail was outstanding—they left everything clean and well-cared for. They also gave great advice on maintaining my garden through winter and preparing for spring. For example, they helped protect my hydrangeas to ensure a full bloom next year and showed me how to winterize my new fig tree which was a gift by wrapping it to shield it from the cold. They even suggested replacing my old habit of tilling my garden beds with mulching to protect the soil from erosion and adds nutrients. If you’re looking for a team that goes above and beyond and really knows their stuff, I highly recommend Arcadia!"

Leaf Removal questions, answered by experts

Lead toxicity comes from inhaling lead or consuming it. Before the 1980s, when the government banned lead from consumer use, it could be found in paint, plumbing, pipes, ceramics, and even gasoline. Lead paint is toxic for the same reason lead itself is toxic, which is why lead poisoning from paint presents the same as lead poisoning from water or food sources, with a slight increase in respiratory symptoms vs. digestive symptoms. Lead paint is most dangerous when it’s old and peeling, cracking, or otherwise disturbed. This increases the concentration in the air and, therefore, in breathable air. 

You should ask a few questions to ensure that your potential lead removal professional is experienced and qualified to handle lead-paint abatement safely, legally, and properly.

  • What are your qualifications and experience removing lead-based paint?

  • Are you licensed and certified to remove lead-based paint?

  • How do you test for lead paint?

  • What methods do you use for lead-based paint abatement?

  • What do you plan to do with the hazardous material when you remove it from the home?

  • Do you do replacement and painting work or removal only?

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.

The best way to remove lead paint is by wet hand sanding and removing all dust and residue with a HEPA vacuum. Professionals may also strip and scrape lead-based paint with a paint scraper. In some cases, you may choose to have a pro encapsulate or enclose your lead-based paint surface by covering it with a sealant or a new material. You may also choose to replace the material altogether.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), hazardous waste is generally classified into four main categories:

1. Characteristic Wastes: These exhibit at least one of four hazardous traits: ignitability (flammable, like gasoline), corrosivity (can rust or decompose materials, like car batteries), reactivity (unstable and can explode, like aerosol cans), or toxicity (harmful when ingested, like lead-based paint).

2. Listed Wastes: These are specific wastes from manufacturing and industrial processes that the EPA has officially designated as hazardous. They include byproducts from processes that use solvents, pesticides, and other chemicals.

3. Universal Wastes: These are commonly generated hazardous items that are subject to streamlined regulations. Examples include batteries, pesticides, mercury-containing equipment (e.g., bulbs), and some lamps.

4. Mixed Wastes: This category includes waste that contains both hazardous and radioactive components, making it subject to regulation by both the EPA and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
