"Victor and his crew did fantastic! He worked with us very well and would verify everything right before planting the plants and flowers to make sure we were happy with the placement. He gave suggestions and lawn care advice without being overbearing and his calm and kind personality made him great to work with. Neighbors were keeping an eye out and liked our results so much that they asked for his card for help with their yards. We will definitely use him again. Thank you Victor and crew!"

"They need to do a better in bidding jobs. Fall cutting of plants etc. was fine. They were suppose to remove leaves. Prior to the service I had raked up a lot of leaves and left them in a pile to take, they didn’t remove it. I also asked them to take a yard debris pile which they quoted for $55. They didn’t remove it, but after the fact wanted $150 to remove it.They stopped by the first time, reviewed the job and left. Came back to do the job, and didn’t complete to my expectations. If they would have bid the job correctly, there would have been no problem and I wouldn’t have piles of debris in my yard."

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

Pea gravel can retain some heat, but it generally stays cooler than materials like concrete, asphalt, or stone pavers. Lighter-colored pea gravel reflects more sunlight and tends to stay cooler, while darker-colored gravel can absorb heat and become warmer to the touch.

First, dig a hole that’s the same depth as the root ball and wide enough for the roots to spread out fully. Before placing the tree in the hole, pour water in to help get rid of any air pockets in the soil.

When filling the hole back in, opt for a 1:1 ratio of organic compost with the soil left over from the ground. Do not use potting soil, fertilizer, or chemicals of any kind, as these can stress out and kill your newly planted tree.

The best way to landscape your front yard on a budget is to invest in hiring a professional for hardscaping—things like upgrading walkways, redoing driveways, and installing partitions around garden beds. You can often do the softscaping yourself—think laying down mulch, caring for your lawn, removing weeds, and planting flowers and shrubs. It’s also almost always worthwhile to pay a professional for routine yard maintenance, as this dramatically improves curb appeal and delivers above 100% ROI in most cases.

If you’re using crushed stone or gravel as a base material, then yes, you should compact it to prevent movement of the top layers. For instance, if you don’t compact crushed stone or gravel and you lay pavers on top of them, the pavers will shift over time. However, if you’re using gravel or crushed stone as a top layer for aesthetic purposes, you might not want to compact the materials.

When laying gravel, it's often a good idea to apply a base layer, such as sand or crushed concrete. You may also want to layer a weed-blocking membrane on top of the base layer to prevent weeds and grass from sprouting up in your gravel driveway. Without the appropriate base layer, the gravel you lay may sink into the soil.
