"Carson was recommended to me by a realtor. Initially every thing was great, he was quick to respond and took the job on short notice. We walked him through the property and explained what we wanted and he said it was no problem. After three weeks he said the job was done. The job included clearing and leveling the land for a house, compacting the dirt and testing, creating the driveway , clearing any trees that could fall on the house, and thinning the remaining trees to give a park like atmosphere. He did not do the compaction or testing, the driveway is only suitable for construction equipment, he did no tree clearing or thinning as asked. We spoke to him about it he lied to me and said he never agreed to any of that. Would never recommend him to anyone."

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

Yes, and in many cases, you should. Large gravel works best as a base layer because it improves drainage and keeps the surface stable. A top layer of smaller gravel fills in gaps and creates a smoother, more compacted surface. This combination is common in driveways and high-traffic areas where both stability and comfort matter.

If you have a steep driveway, angular gravel, which is 3/4 to 2 inches in length, is a great choice. The stones won’t slide, allow for proper drainage, and stay in place even on the steepest slope.

Gravel’s biggest pro is its cost-effectiveness. For example, a gravel road or driveway is much more affordable than its asphalt counterpart. Gravel is also much less expensive than the cost of pouring a concrete slab if you’re building a patio or similar structure.

However, regarding comfort and convenience, gravel is far less foot-friendly than smoother substances like concrete or asphalt. It’s also more of a challenge to drive on and may kick up dust, resulting in the inevitable need for extra car washes. Lastly, there’s a chance it might move with rain or snow.

Costs for lakefront landscaping are influenced by project size, choice of plants and materials, labor, and any additional features or structures desired. Projects can range from a few thousand dollars to extensive transformations costing much more.

How much 4 yards of dirt will cover depends on how deep you want the soil to be. In general, a yard of dirt will cover 324 square feet for a 1-inch depth or 100 square feet for a 3-inch depth. Therefore, you can expect 4 yards to cover between 400 and 1,296 square feet if you keep your soil depth between 1 and 3 inches.
