Episode 7

Dumpster rental — Sizing the bin and clearing the debris.

Dumpster rental and cleanup — getting the debris off your property

Every real project ends with a pile — sod and broken concrete from a tear-out, a garage cleanout, a remodel's worth of scrap. This episode is about the end of the job: choosing between a 15-yard and a 30-yard roll-off, loading it so the weight limit doesn't catch you out, and what can't go in the bin at all. Cleanup and hauling advice from 30+ years of working across Salt Lake County.

Episode 6

Tree trimming — Pruning for healthier, longer-lived trees.

Tree trimming and tree health — taking care of your trees

A tree is the slowest thing in the yard to replace, so the trimming it gets decides how long it lasts. This episode is about pruning with a purpose — what to cut and when, the damage a bad cut leaves behind, and the signs of a tree in trouble while there is still time to help it. Practical tree care from 30+ years of working in Salt Lake County yards.

Episode 5

Landscaping & design — Planning a yard that lasts.

Landscaping & design, done right — planning a yard that lasts

A yard that still looks right in five years starts on paper. This episode is about planning the layout before anyone breaks ground — where the beds, hardscape, and lawn belong, what to plant so a space fills in instead of crowding itself, and the design choices that quietly decide how much work the yard asks of you later. Drawn from 30+ years of designing and building yards across Salt Lake County and Utah County.
