Yard/landscape ideas and referrals

[Kathleen Brady]

Hi. I recently purchased a rental in Sacramento with a big yard (about 6000 sq ft). Turns out the yard has a lot of broken glass (big and small pieces) and other dangerous small bits of garbage in the soil. Any recommendations for an affordable gardener/landscaper who could do a clean-up to make it safe for the tenant's children? I'm not even sure how something like this gets cleaned up? One suggestion was that the soil will have to be sifted (that sounds like a crazy amount of work), another was to have the soil turned over and another was to get new soil (this would be a prohibitive amount of soil. Any suggestions?
