"Juan was recommended to us by neighbors in an area Facebook group. He came out and gave a very reasonable quote. Our biggest issue was prickly weeds everywhere in our backyard, so much that our toddler couldn't safely play. In addition, we wanted overgrowth cleaned up and Juan suggested we add some mulching. We agreed. When trying to schedule, he tried changing the plan from a 1 time job to a 3 part job for 3x the cost. After a bit of back and forth, we went with the first estimate. When he finished it looked great. We watered every day, per hours instructions. A few days after, I checked under the mulch and found he didn't lay the garden fabric as was included in the contract. I contacted him and he brushed it off a bit and said it wasn't necessary. Eventually said he'd come back and redo the weed treatment as compensation for not doing the fabric, which we agreed to. He never came. No fewer than 3 times he said he'd come and didn't. Now he won't respond to any communication. "

"Pavestone Rockwall pecan bricks were purchased by our contractor. Home Depot loaded the pallet on his truck and he brought it to our yard. While unloading we noticed a third of the pallet was pecan. The rest appeared as cinderblock. When returned to Home Depot they were very cooperative in refunding. Home Depot told us this is a common problem with this product from Pavestone. When Pavestone is contacted the say they will correct the problem, but nothing is ever done. My contractor has contracted Pavestone here in Denver and was told a representative would come to check out our issue. Never seen anyone from Pavestone. They are totally unresponsive to paying customers requests. Arrogant and rude to disregard customers. Find other product if you can! We now have a partially built retaining wall and my contractor is searching Denver to find a pallet tgat even has a few pecan colored bricks! Pathetic customer service"

They also installed a French drain system. It has made such a difference keeping the water out of our newly finished basement. The decorative stonework for the drains really looks amazing! We will be hiring them again next season for a retaining wall and some hard scaping. I would highly recommend them! A+++"

Maureen is a proud community gardener and has started several community gardens the Old Irving Park neighborhood of Chicago where she lives. In 2007 she won first place in the prestigious Mayor Daley's Landscape Award for her own backyard. One of her community gardens won second place. Please visit my picture sharing site for pictures of some of my recent projects: http://taylormadelandscapedesign.shutterfly.com/ Please visit my website: http://www.taylormadelandscapedesign.com/index.htm

"I found out about this business through several local neighborhood chat groups. I have had nothing but the best rapport, support, design and install from Maureen and her team. They undertook a huge front and back yard project. We completed relandscaped the front of my 115 year old bungalow with a lush perennial garden (and added in some of my mature plants from elsewhere on the property). We carved out two huge new beds and they are chock full of plants I love. We did a complete gut of my hard scape in the rear yard, created a beautiful walkway and patio for my new pergola and a second for my dining table and relandscaped the entire backyard and expanded a huge sun loving perennial bed and added trees and some landscape lighting and a shade bed too. Simply stunning!"

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

Mid to late spring is the best time of year to mulch. If you do it too early in the spring, the mulch could slow down the warming process of the soil and affect how well plants grow. By mid to late spring the temperatures are usually steadying, making it an ideal time to spread mulch.

Mulching any time of year can attract termites, so there’s no added risk in the fall. The important thing to remember is that termites are attracted to rotting wood, so you need to lay a thin enough layer that won’t trap too much moisture and lead to rotting. A layer between 1 and 4 inches thick should provide all the benefits you’re looking for without attracting termites.

You need to put shock-absorbent material under artificial grass. While it will depend on where exactly you’re placing artificial grass, there are a few different options you could use such as silica sand, granite sand, astro-cushion, weed membrane, and geo-textile paper.

You can fill the holes weeds leave behind with soil or sand to avoid unsightly spots or tripping hazards. If you remove weeds from a grassy area, fill the hole with soil and grass seed, and water regularly to promote grass growth.

You can use regular sand as the base for your pavers and in between pavers to seal the joints. Many pros reach for polymeric sand, also known as all-purpose sand, because it has been sifted and washed to remove impurities. But you can easily level ground and fill gaps between pavers for a clean look using regular sand, sometimes at a lower cost.
