"Erik called to make an appointment for an estimate. We made the appointment and he showed up a couple days later to start the job. It included yard cleanup with possible recurring monthly maintenance. Erik had his worker with him. Erik dropped off the worker and was gone for a little while. I don’t recall how long and then came back They trimmed the bushes in the front yard. They used a Weedwhacker on the weeds and grass growing in the rocks, then use the leaf blower in the front. In the backyard, I have mostly bark and rocks and there is a small area that has three levels. The first level was grass the second level a couple of bushes and weeds mostly and the third level just weeds. The grass area had a lot of weeds growing in it. They used the Weedwhacker on all three levels. They did not touch the flower bed that was weeds and just weed whacked random weeds around the yard. I was in the house babysitting my granddaughter so I was not paying much attention to Erik and his worker. I trusted them to do a good job since they called from Angie’s list. Erik came up to the front door and told me they were done so I went out front and looked at some of the stuff they did in the front Noticed that the weeds were only cut down. They were not removed noticed that all the little shoots from other plants were still there he said they would come back and spray those so he told me the job was $600. I sent it to him through Venmo. He said he would be back the following Thursday to come spray the weeds and they left. I went back in and around to the backyard had noticed the weeds were still in the yard. They did not rake up anything that they cut in the backyard. They left cuttings all on the three levels. They did not clean up the weeds. They did rake up some leaves and filled my trashcan with the debris and charged me for taking the debris to the dump, the trashcan was so heavy. I could barely make it out to the curb on my pick up day. I called Erik back at same day and he apologized for not cleaning up in the backyard and said he would be back on Thursday the 27th between 130 and three he never showed up. I called him again. he said he would be back on Friday the 28th. He never showed up and I have not heard from him since. The estimate total was 710.00 which included 550.00: yard clean up. 50.00:dump fee and 110.00: April yard maintenance And he would not remove any other junk from the yard. Only green waste."

"Worst customer service I have seen from a company. Good service at seeing you up but even getting someone out for our first service took a month and countless calls. Just had our follow up service took several weeks and calls to the call center to schedule with no response. Only got someone out by texting the rep that came out last service. Then on the follow up spray the only sprayed 1/4 of the committed area and haven’t been able to get someone to come back out. The call center appears to not communicate to the service department and only takes the call to move on to the next call. They commit to schedules to get up of the phone resulting in another call days later after a no show."

Mulch and topsoil services FAQs

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.
