New or Failing System we perform perk and have Design Engineers we work with your particular project. Demolition of any Building and removal of debris. We do not perform septic pump outs.
"Septic tanks were left exposed, site was a mess, and vent pipe was not at the required height. We talked with him a month before we anticipated water connection, so he knew our timelines. We attempted to contact him every day for a week to schedule final inspection after water was connected, but got no response. It took two emails from the city for him to sign the certificate of compliance."

"I think this contractor signed up on Angie's List in April, 2018. I received a quote from him in May and he started mowing my lawn shortly thereafter. He wasn't the cheapest but he was responsive and for the first month and a half, he showed up every week. After he mowed my lawn a few times, he asked me to write a review, which I did. I have since asked Angie's List to take it down. In July, he became very unreliable. I have a small yard and I think he ended up with enough new business, that he decided he really didn't need my business anymore. He would promise to show up on a certain day and didn't. I had to keep e-mailing him to see when he would be cutting my lawn. The last e-mail I sent him, he responded that he was behind because of all the rain we had. (He promised to show up on a certain day and never showed up or e-mailed me back) He was already barely cutting my lawn every two weeks and with the heavy rain, my lawn was really long. I never heard from him again. I paid the two invoices he sent me as requested and on time. I am a senior citizen on a fixed income and he left me in a bind when I had to pay double just to get my lawn length back to normal. I think he was very unprofessional in how he handled himself. I think he should have made it right and cut my lawn, even if said he wouldn't do it after that. I will never recommend him to anyone."

FAQs for mulch and topsoil service projects in Hartford, CT
Mulch costs anywhere from $30 to $150 per cubic yard, depending on the type you choose. On the inexpensive end, red and black mulch are about $35 to $40 per cubic yard, and are typically made from recycled waste wood like shredded old pallets or deck material. Cedar, cypress, and rubber mulch cost anywhere from $100 to $120 per cubic yard. A pro can help you determine the type of mulch most suitable for your landscaping needs.
Topsoil costs from $12 to $55 per cubic yard, depending on the type you choose. For example, screened black dirt will cost about $15 per cubic yard. Loam (soil composed of sand, silt, and clay) costs about $17 per cubic yard. Standard screened topsoil costs about $20 per cubic yard. The type of topsoil you need depends on your landscaping plans.
Topsoil should go down first. If the topsoil is next to your house, make sure the grade slopes away from the house to keep water from pooling against your foundation and possibly leaking into your basement or crawl space. Don’t cover your decorative landscape mulch with topsoil as that defeats the purpose of laying down the mulch. If you’re trying to create a certain soil composition to improve plant growth, you’ll likely want compost mixed into the topsoil instead of mulch. Over time, any decorative wood mulch will simply decompose under the topsoil.
No, mulch itself does not necessarily attract termites even though it’s usually made of shredded wood. Some types of mulch like cedar or cypress resist termites because they’re toxic or unappetizing to the wood munchers. However, when the mulch is deep enough, say three inches or more, it creates a perfect habitat for insects of all kinds to build nests.
Although it’s not required to lay anything under mulch, it can help to put landscape fabric or plastic weed barrier down and lay mulch on top. The barrier helps keep weeds from growing up through your mulch. It also helps keep rodents and insects from burrowing into the ground underneath.
