What this service covers
Describe each material in the load because soil, sod, mulch, stone, edging, and plant waste can follow different handling paths.
Commonly reviewed
- Plant and shrub trimmings
- Leaves and cut brush from a landscape project
- Bagged garden cleanup material without household trash
- Separated vegetative debris after bed work
Ask before including
- Soil, sod, gravel, stone, or large mulch loads
- Landscape timbers, edging, pots, or plastic sheeting
- Pesticides, fertilizers, fuel, paint, or chemicals
- Concrete, treated lumber, or mixed construction waste
Safety boundary: Haul-away is different from hazardous tree work. Do not approach downed lines, unstable trees, hung limbs, or tensioned branches.
How to prepare the request
Photograph the complete pile from at least two directions. Include the path to the driveway or loading position. Measure the pile when practical and state whether all cutting is complete.
Access and estimate factors
The material, volume, moisture, largest pieces, distance to the truck, stairs, gates, slopes, and soft ground can change the work. Soil, stone, sod, root balls, treated wood, fencing, and trash must be disclosed separately.
What happens next
- Call with the address, material, pile size, and access details.
- Share photos if requested so the scope can be reviewed.
- Confirm the work and price before loading begins.
- Keep children, pets, vehicles, and loose objects away from the loading route.
