Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our landscaping and junk removal services in Reedsburg, WI. Learn more about our services, process, and what to expect when working with Stando Junk Services.

  • Can you remove an old hot tub from my backyard?

    Yes. Old hot tubs are drained, disconnected from power by a licensed electrician if needed, cut into manageable sections, and hauled away. Breaking them down on site avoids damaging fences, gates, lawns, and landscaping on the way out.

  • How do you handle hoarding or heavily cluttered homes?

    Hoarding cleanouts are handled patiently and without judgment. We work room by room, set aside documents, photos, and valuables for review, and coordinate the pace with families so decisions never feel rushed or overwhelming for anyone involved.

  • What happens to scrap metal you haul away?

    Metal items such as old grills, bed frames, water heaters, and swing sets are separated and taken to scrap recyclers whenever possible. Recycling metal keeps heavy, bulky material out of landfills and gives it a second life.

  • Is old exercise equipment something you can take?

    Yes. Treadmills, elliptical machines, weight benches, and home gyms are disassembled when needed and carried out of basements and spare rooms. Heavy equipment is one of the most common items homeowners struggle to remove on their own.

  • Do you clear storm debris and fallen branches?

    Yes. After Wisconsin windstorms, fallen limbs, brush piles, and scattered yard debris are gathered and hauled away. Clearing debris quickly protects lawns from smothering, reduces tripping hazards, and makes it safer to assess any damage to structures.

  • Will you remove an old fence, playset, or shed?

    Yes. Worn fencing, rotted wooden playsets, and small sheds are taken down and hauled away as light demolition. Removing them opens up yard space and eliminates splinters, loose boards, and exposed nails that create safety hazards for kids.

  • Should I aerate my lawn in Central Wisconsin?

    Lawns with compacted soil, heavy foot traffic, or thinning grass often benefit from core aeration. Early fall is usually the best time in Wisconsin, since cool-season grasses recover quickly and overseeding establishes well before winter dormancy arrives.

  • When should snow stakes be placed along my driveway?

    Place driveway and walkway markers before the ground freezes, usually in late October or early November in Central Wisconsin. Stakes show plow operators where edges, curbs, and landscaping sit once snow covers everything, preventing costly turf and bed damage.

  • Why is moving dead ash wood or firewood a concern in Wisconsin?

    Firewood can spread invasive pests such as the emerald ash borer, which has killed many ash trees across Wisconsin. The Wisconsin DNR limits bringing outside firewood onto state lands, so buying and burning firewood locally is recommended.

  • Which items should be set aside before a cleanout begins?

    Set aside important papers, photos, jewelry, keys, medications, and anything with sentimental value before the crew arrives. Labeling a keep area or closing off one room makes it easy to separate what stays from what goes.

  • Where should piled snow go on my property?

    Pile snow away from foundations, downspout outlets, septic covers, and driveway sightlines. Placing snow on low, well-drained lawn areas helps meltwater soak in or flow away instead of pooling against your home or freezing across walkways.

  • Are flood-damaged basement contents something you remove?

    Yes. Soaked carpet, padding, drywall scraps, furniture, and boxes are hauled out quickly after basement flooding. Removing wet materials fast helps the space dry and limits mold growth, which can begin within a couple of days in damp conditions.

  • Does a piano need special handling during removal?

    Yes. Pianos are extremely heavy and awkward, and upright models can weigh several hundred pounds. Removal requires careful planning around stairs, doorways, and flooring, along with proper equipment so walls, floors, and the crew stay protected throughout.

  • Who can clear out an office or small business space?

    Stando Junk Services clears offices, retail spaces, and small business locations in Reedsburg, Wisconsin, removing desks, chairs, filing cabinets, shelving, and old equipment. Work can be scheduled to limit disruption while moving, relocating, or downsizing.

  • If I am moving out, can you take everything I leave behind?

    Yes. Move-out cleanouts handle leftover furniture, boxes, appliances, and garage items in one trip, leaving the home ready for cleaning, showings, or new occupants. With 2+ years of local experience, we keep moving days less stressful.
