"We have some trees in our backyard that we thought was a part of our property but it turns out it was a part of the churches property behind our house. One of the trees fell after a storm, and the church asked for our assistance to find a good tree service. We called Fortec and they came out and gave an exceptional bid. The church ended up hiring Fortec so they came out to begin work. First, they told us they own their equipment, but they actually rent. They then say they have their own crew, but it turns out they actually hire people off craigslist to complete projects for them. They say they start at 8am, but they wouldn't show up until about 9:30, and actually start work at 10am. Originally this job was supposed to take 2 days, it ended up taking a week. When they cut the trees, they ended up damaging the churches parking lot. Instead of cutting the tree in sections and letting it come down safely, they cut the tree down in one whole piece, which put a huge hole in the churches parking lot. The guy who runs Fortec, Steve, did not at the time tell the church he damaged the parking lot. instead he tried to repair it without anyone noticing with very cheap asphalt. He did not even tell the church he did this, they found out on their own. They tried to tell him the patch job he did was insufficient, but he refused to repair what he did. He told us he was going to come back on the 28th of September to finish, but to this day he hasn't returned. I tried to contact him on the 30th, and he told me he was not coming back because the church was refusing to pay him. He said they wont pay him because of the hole in the parking lot, but the originally tree service wasn't even finished. He is refusing to come back to finish the work. I would not recommend hiring this company, he is not trustworthy at all."

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

You should use mulch because it protects garden soil in a few key ways. This extra layer between the ground and the elements protects against erosion, helps your soil maintain moisture, regulates changes in temperature, adds nutrients as it decomposes, and keeps weeds at bay.

To prepare your yard for river rocks, smaller rocks may require laying landscape fabric to keep the stones from sinking into the ground while encouraging proper water drainage. You should also clear the land of weeds and larger boulders and, in some cases, test the density of the soil to ensure it can handle the weight.

The best soil to put around a house foundation is fill dirt, which is soil that’s specifically designed for covering large areas and filling in holes. Don’t waste money regrading around your foundation with expensive topsoil. Use topsoil only for the last layer of soil, about 5 to 10 inches, so that when you do your foundation planting, your grass and plants will have the nutrients they need to grow.

There are a few ways you can reduce the cost of mulch delivery, including the following:

  • Place your order in the winter months for spring delivery

  • Choose a more affordable mulch color

  • Opt for a more affordable type of mulch

  • Place larger orders to get a lower cost per cubic foot

  • Opt to lay your own mulch to save on installation costs

  • Add on other delivery or landscaping services to save on travel costs

  • Prepare a single delivery site in the front of your property, and use a wheelbarrow to move smaller quantities 

Pea gravel is a type of gravel that is generally smaller and rounder than regular gravel. It's usually made from river rock and is available in a wide range of colors. Thanks to its soft, round shape, pea gravel is more comfortable to walk on compared to standard gravel, which can have sharp edges. A drawback of pea gravel is that it can scatter more easily than other gravel types.
