"Mr. Escobar and his team were very professional and did an excellent job! They completed a significant amount of yard work (i.e., removing yard debris, weeding flower beds, pruning bushes/trees, mulching, planting new plants/tree, laying sod, and fertilizing the grounds/flower beds, large tree removal, and regrading the gravel driveway), in a timely manner. This was not an easy job by any means after several years of no work being done to maintain the yard and driveway. The yard and driveway have never looked better! We appreciate all the hard work and effort put into this as well as their guidance and knowledge. We look forward to working with them regarding the maintenance of the yard."

"Mr. Bradley and his team from Old School Cleaning and Junk Removal were outstanding. In no time, they removed a large (95"X80") hot tub from my back yard and hauled it away at an affordable cost. They were very careful - more worried about my landscaping than I was - as they moved the heavy hot tub. In the future, I will always rely on Scott Bradley and his professional crew to remove unwanted junk."

Lawns FAQs, answered by experts

Clearing land can be incredibly challenging, depending on various factors like the size of the area, the density of vegetation, and the presence of obstacles, such as rocks or stumps. Handling smaller vegetation and brush might be manageable with the right tools and preparation. However, tasks like removing larger trees or dealing with extensive overgrowth may require specialized equipment, expertise, and safety precautions.

It’s possible to over-mulch leaves. If the leaf mulch is thick enough that it’s blocking and smothering the grass, that’s a problem. Ideally, you should still be able to see the grass when you’re done mulching to ensure its ability to continue growing. The solution is to make another pass at the top layer of leaf mulch to collect some of the top layer.

No, cleaning dog poop off artificial grass is straightforward. First, you’ll remove all the solid poop and place it in a bag. Then, you’ll use a homemade liquid dish soap and water solution to help wash and sanitize the area. Finally, you’ll hose the area with water to remove the soapy solution and odor.

While you don’t need to put anything down before mulch, you can apply a pre-emergent herbicide to prevent weed growth. As long as you remove weeds before you spread mulch, you should be in the clear. But a herbicide is something that you can put down before mulch as an extra layer of protection.

There are several ways to dispose of excess sod, including building a compost pile, taking it to a green waste disposal facility, donating the sod, or reusing it in another part of your yard. It’s a good idea to check with your local municipality to see how to get rid of yard waste, as some areas have local regulations on what can go in the green waste bin. For example, your recycling services may reject too much soil added to green waste.
