Common Valley landscaping jobs
Turf removal and xeriscape conversions
Swapping grass for desert landscaping is one of the most common yard projects in the Valley, and several cities have offered water-conservation rebates for it. Check with your city's water department. Old sod with its root layer and soil is heavier than it looks, so a 10 or 15 yard is usually right for a front yard.
Palm tree and oleander trimming
Palm fronds and oleander hedges are bulky, awkward to load and often have sharp edges. Cut long fronds in half so they lie flat. This light, bulky debris fills space before weight, so a 20 yard suits large trimming jobs.
Rock, gravel and decomposed granite
Removing old landscape rock or DG is heavy debris. Don't mix it with green waste in a large container. See concrete, dirt and rock dumpsters.
What yard debris is allowed
- Branches, fronds, shrubs, stumps (cut to size) and sod
- Pavers, block walls and edging (heavy, so tell us in advance)
- Old irrigation lines, landscape fabric and fencing
- Not allowed: pesticides, herbicides, fertilizer bags with product left, pool chemicals and fuel from yard equipment. Full list.
Keep debris in the container during monsoon season
From June through September, monsoon storms bring sudden strong winds. Load dry fronds and clippings under heavier material, or cover the load, so debris doesn't blow into neighbors' yards.

Can I mix dirt and yard waste in one dumpster?
Small amounts of soil on roots are fine. Large amounts of dirt, rock or gravel should go in a separate heavy-debris container to stay under the weight allowance.
Can I put a tree stump in the dumpster?
Yes, as long as it's cut to a manageable size. Stumps are heavy, so let us know when you book.
