The Best Way to Deal with Yard Waste Removal in Addison, TX

 

Every year thousands of homeowners, business owners, and other residents of Addison, TX struggle to find ways to effectively deal with the enormous amount of yard waste that seems to miraculously multiply and accumulate every fall season. What exactly are you supposed to do with those mountains of leaves that you raked up or those heavy and bulky tree limbs that fell down during the latest storm? Unfortunately, many people resort to either burning their yard waste or simply sweeping or blowing it into the street. Others hire private junk hauling companies that take that yard waste straight to the local landfill, which also causes several problems. 

Improperly disposing of yard waste contributes to several environmental hazards that we will explore below. Fortunately, for the residents, homeowners, and businesses of Addison, TX Junk King of Irving offers both residential and commercial full-service junk removal, including the most affordable, efficient, and environmentally friendly yard waste removal services. We offer all of our junk removal services to businesses and homeowners in Addison, Carrollton, Cedar Hill, Dallas, Desoto, Duncanville, Grand Prairie, Irving, Lancaster, Lewisville, and McKinney.

Problems with Improper Disposal of Yard Waste in Addison, Texas

 

According to the North Central Texas Council of Governments, “Many homeowners and landscape maintenance companies are guilty of sweeping or blowing yard waste, like grass clippings and fallen tree leaves, in the street or down the storm drain. When it rains, yard waste left in streets, on sidewalks, or in driveways will wash into nearby storm drains. Once in the storm drain system, the yard waste can enter local bodies of water without being treated or cleaned.” 

What exactly happens to those leaves, grass clippings, and branches when they slowly decompose in our local creeks, streams, rivers, or lakes? Organic material like yard waste that decomposes in bodies of water contributes to depleting levels of oxygen in the water. This can negatively affect aquatic life, such as fish, and can also lead to unsightly algae growth in the water. 

Furthermore, when grass clippings, branches, twigs, tree leaves, and other sources of yard waste are illegally blown into the street and washed down the nearest drain, the storm water drainage system is likely to become clogged or blocked. In severe weather events this can contribute to potentially dangerous flooding. The grass clippings you blow into the street after mowing your lawn may very well lead to a flood in your basement sometime down the road. 

Also, it is important to know that many local governments have strict ordinances that prohibit blowing or sweeping yard waste into streets, sidewalks, driveways, or storm drains. Not only is this practice illegal, but you could be looking at a hefty fine if caught. 

Lastly, simply sending your yard waste to the nearest landfill also comes with several negative side effects. Landscape space is already at a premium in north Texas, and sending enormous amounts of yard waste to our local dumps only puts further stress on our waste management systems. Furthermore, when yard waste (which is an organic material) decomposes amongst inorganic waste materials it creates what is known as landfill gas.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) states that “landfill gas (LFG) is a natural byproduct of the decomposition of organic material in landfills. LFG is composed of roughly 50 percent methane (the primary component of natural gas), 50 percent carbon dioxide (CO2) and a small amount of non-methane organic compounds. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas 28 to 36 times more effective than CO2 at trapping heat in the atmosphere over a 100-year period, per the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) assessment report (AR5).”

Tips for Outdoor Living in Irving , Texas

Texas summers are notorious for triple-degree temperatures and horrible humidity. Fortunately, the heat does start dropping off as we get closer and closer to fall. Once it does, you’ll be able to enjoy being outdoors again. You can have cookouts, hang out underneath the night sky, and have fun in your pool if you have one without feeling like you’re being roasted alive. 

 

However, before you can fully enjoy your yard, you do need to make certain everything is in good shape and that it hasn’t been too damaged by the heat. Many people do prepare their yard after the winter, but it’s also possible some damage could have been done to it during the height of summer, too. The heat can be just as bad as the cold, and in some ways, it’s even worse. Before you throw your next backyard party, here are a few tips for making sure your outdoor spaces are ready.

Need Junk Removal Immediately? Book An Appointment Today!

Check Your Deck and Patio

 

You’re going to spend a lot of time on your deck or patio, so you want to be certain they are in good condition. If your patio is made out of concrete, you’ll need to check for cracks. It’s possible some of these cracks may have widened or have had weeds come up in them. You’ll want to get rid of the weeds, and if the cracks are too bad, you may need to look into filling them in. If your patio has a lot of cracks or some very long, deep ones, it may be time to remove it and pour a new one.

 

A patio made from paver stones is a little easier to manage. If a paver is cracked or broken, you can simply remove and replace it. You should also look at the edges of your paver patio to make certain the pavers haven’t drifted out of place. If they are, the spaces between the pavers will grow, and that can be a tripping hazard. 

 

For decks, check the stability of the deck itself. The heat and humidity can damage your wood, especially if it wasn’t treated correctly. Look under the deck to make sure all of the support beams are still holding up and that no animals have made their home under the deck. Make sure your railings are secure and that there are no splinters, loose boards, or nails sticking up.

 

If you live in an apartment, you may not have as much control over your outdoor space, but you can still check for safety. Look for cracks in the cement, check any fences for damage, and make certain the railing is secure. Call maintenance if you see anything that requires attention.

 

Don’t forget to check your patio furniture, grill, and any other outdoor items for wear and tear. Plastic patio furniture may not stand up to the heat very well. Any colored cushions, umbrellas, and lawn chairs may have faded from the direct sunlight, too. Replace anything that’s damaged or that no longer looks very nice. Junk King North Texas can help you get rid of any of this old patio furniture and any other debris you may have found in your yard.

Heavy Lifting, Without Moving A Muscle

Inspect Your Landscaping

 

Even if you’ve been watering your flowers, grass, shrubs, and other landscaping, the heat has likely taken its toll on them. You may find that some of your annuals are dead. Some of your perennials may have also turned brown and shriveled up, but in most cases, they will be back next year. Trim off any dead blooms, leaves, and other parts of plants and bushes to help them make it through the rest of the summer. You may also need to get some plant food to give them an extra boost after weeks of unending heat.

 

If you’re going to plant fall flowers, you’ll want to wait until the heat becomes a little more manageable. This used to mean mid-August, but in Texas, you may want to wait until the end of the month or even early September. 

 

Make a Plan for Refreshing the Space

 

Now that you’ve done a full inspection of your yard and removed anything damaged or dead, it’s time to make a plan to refresh the space. This may include determining which fall flowers you want, but it could also mean removing bushes or trees. You may have wanted to change up your landscaping earlier in the summer but didn’t get a chance to do so in the spring. With 100-plus temperatures, you certainly wouldn’t have wanted to cut down trees during the hottest part of the summer. Decide what you want to do with your yard and make a plan to get it done before it gets too cold. 

 

Some of the items on this plan may be more long-term or may require hiring a contractor. Make a second list of things you need to do right away to enjoy the space. This way, you can take care of many of the smaller tasks now and make the most of your yard.

Clean Out the Shed 

 

One of the first things on your to-do list may be to clean out the shed. During the hot months, it may have been much easier to toss things into the shed instead of spending time in the heat organizing everything. If you don’t keep your shed organized, though, you may end up with piles of stuff. Some of that stuff may actually be junk that you don’t need any longer. It’s also much more likely that you’ll get rats and insects in your shed, which can destroy some of the things you’re storing there.

 

Once you get your shed organized, you may find that you do have things you need to get rid of. For items that are too big to put in the trash, you can give Junk King a call. We can get rid of old lawn mowers and other items as well as cut trees, bushes, and other landscaping debris. If you decide your shed is no longer in good condition, we can even haul it away after you demolish it. 

 

Check Your Hot Tub

 

Many people love hot tubbing. If you’re one of these people, you may be very excited to spend some evenings in your hot tub with friends. Before you do that, though, you do want to make certain your hot tub is ready to go. You’ll need to be sure it’s clean and that everything is in good working condition. If it’s not, you will want to call a maintenance provider as soon as you can. 

 

If your hot tub isn’t working and can’t be easily repaired, it may be time to get rid of it. Some junk removal services won’t deal with hot tubs at all. Junk King, however, does. We will help you remove the hot tub from your yard so you can replace it or make use of the space where it was.

 

What Do You Do with the Debris?

 

Any backyard refresh, even a minor one, is going to leave behind some trash. In some cases, it may be so little that you can put it in a garbage bag. In other cases, though, you may have a lot more trash to deal with. That’s where Junk King comes in. We can haul away your old shed, deck, paver patio, tree, or anything else you’ve got in your backyard that needs to go. When we’re done, your space will be ready for you to enjoy or cleared out so you can begin transforming it into the yard of your dreams.
