"The hardest working person I've ever met. I was in desperate need of lawn mowing services because the last guys just never showed up without any word. After searching Jason of JP's Lawn Service came out same day and gave me a quote that seemed to be to good to be true. Days later my yard has never looked better. I highly recommend JP's Lawn Service."
"I have pulled my hair out for years trying to maintain my lawn. Between bald patches, weeds and disease I was ready to use artificial grass. I have used the big companies in the past but very disappointed in the attitude of the workers and then I found NaturaLawn. They are efficient, professional and knowledgeable. My lawns are now like thick, green carpets. In comparison to my neighbors. They look lush and amazing. I am on a monthly plans with this company and would recommend them to anyone who desires a 1st class lawn."
"They did an outstanding job within the agreed time frame. My yard was horrible but it’s one of the best looking one on my block. I will reach out to New Ground Services on any of my lawn maintenance and design services."
"They got here about 9 am and were through around 10 am. They were fast and cleaned up after they were through. I am very pleased with the work that was done. The crew was friendly and through."
"Danny was a pleasure with which to work. His estimate to repair the sweep and threshold on our front door was reasonable. He worked quickly and diligently to make sure the door was repaired to perfect working order. Danny cleaned up all his work and let the work site just as he found it, only better! We love the way the door works now and we will do business with him again."
"I think they treated the wrong lawn. The note they sent me via text message referenced trees and shrubs in my yard, I have none. They also did not leave a yard marker showing they had been there. Otherwise, this would have been a 5 star review."
"Blake is a honest professional that produces an excellent quality of work. He is on time and very efficient completing the job. His fee is reasonable for the wide range of services he provides. I definitely will use him again."
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.
It may sound icky, but yes, urine encourages microbial activity that breaks down organic matter faster. It’s rich in nitrogen, which helps balance carbon-heavy materials like dry leaves or straw. Use sparingly and apply it to a well-balanced pile, not one already high in nitrogen.
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.
This depends on how many leaves there are. Mowing over dry and crisp leaves with a bagging attachment saves most homeowners a lot of time. If you have a smaller lawn and few leaves to mulch, you can put the leaves into a stand-alone mulcher resembling a wood chipper and collect the mulch from a hopper. This prevents having to do multiple passes with a mower.
The most cost-effective approach to land clearing is DIY-ing what you can, such as removing brush, small saplings, and other more manageable tasks. Then, contact a tree cutting pro to finish the job for the larger vegetation and trees on your property. Get multiple quotes, look for off-season discounts, and scope out all your options to keep things as budget-friendly as possible.
