What are the pros and cons of hydroseeding?

• <div><p>Hydroseeding is a great option for sloped yards, as sod might not root as well. Hydroseeding also traditionally creates sprouts faster than normal seeding—up to a full week faster. Additionally, you can customize your slurry mix with hydroseed, allowing you to create a mixture that will work specifically for your yard’s conditions. </p><p>It’s important to remember that hydroseeded lawns require a lot of water during the first few weeks of installation, which can be time-consuming and costly. Additionally, the installation window tends to be shorter than that of sod and traditional grass. </p></div>

Do you have to be careful when putting landscaping over a leach field or drain field?

• <div><p>You should exercise care when deciding <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/landscaping-around-your-septic-system.htm">how to landscape over a leach field</a> for your septic system. You typically want lightweight materials that won’t damage the drain field’s perforated pipes. When adding plants to the area, select plants with shallow roots, such as grass or flower gardens. Trees with deep roots could damage the pipes in the field.</p></div>

Q: How do I measure how much compost to use?

• <div><p>Most experts recommend a quarter-inch layer of compost for best results, and you will need about .77 cubic yards of material per 1,000 square feet. To measure how much compost to use, take the square footage of your yard and multiply it by .77, then divide that number by 1,000.</p></div>

Q: How much will a ton of gravel cover?

• <div><p>This will depend on the depth of the structure. For a landscape, patio, or walkway that&rsquo;s around 2 inches deep, a ton of gravel will cover around 100 square feet or about 0.6 cubic yards. However, if you&rsquo;re building a driveway, which should be a minimum of 12 inches deep, you&rsquo;d need about 6 tons of gravel to cover the same area.</p></div>

Q: Is gravel just crushed rock?

• <div><p>No, gravel and crushed rock are different. Crushed rock is made in a quarry and has sharp, jagged edges. It&rsquo;s most commonly used for building and construction.</p><p>Gravel naturally occurs in river beds or lakes and features smooth edges, making it a better choice for landscaping or other decorative areas. Like crushed stone, gravel can also be found in quarries, but it&rsquo;s typically due to rock-on-rock erosion rather than machinery.</p></div>

Everything we have done with Andy turned out well and he has always been willing to take calls or come back out to check on things. I'd recommend him based on his interest in doing things the right way at a competitive price.
