Q&A
Can you help fix a shifting rock garden in Utica?
Absolutely. Our team can remove the unstable rocks and underlying soil for proper disposal. We then re-grade the area and install a new, stable rock garden using proper edging and base materials to prevent future shifting, a common issue with our local soil conditions.
How do you handle weeds in mulch beds during a property cleanout?
During a landscape waste disposal or property cleanout, we first remove all old, weedy mulch. We then dispose of it responsibly to prevent spreading seeds. For a lasting solution, we can install fresh mulch with a quality landscape fabric barrier to significantly reduce future weed growth in your Utica yard.
I have old paint and landscaping chemicals to dispose of after a project. Can you take them?
Yes, responsible chemical and paint disposal is a specialty. Whether you're clearing out a garage after our painting services or have leftover garden chemicals, we ensure these hazardous materials are handled and disposed of according to Utica and New York State regulations, keeping your property and our community safe.
