I wish I would have inspected the job more carefully before they left. I have pieces of mulch in-bedded in the asphalt. My concern is that it does not look right now and eventually, there will be holes where rain will collect causing problems.

At first Cesar seemed very friendly and polite. Him and his crew came and did most of the work but they missed a couple mulch beds. I was dumb enough to pay him the full cost of the service. Talked to Cesar multiple times promising he’ll returned to finish the job but never did. I called him 3-4...

Very personable, but it took a very long time to complete the garden plan. Brought in nice topsoil for my clayey garden beds and re-shaped them nicely, but was disappointed to find that they had not removed the old plastic edging when I tried to install my new plants.

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

Sand is a common sublayer for hardscape features like driveways, paver patios, and more. Most projects that involve sand require a 1-inch layer to promote evenness, drainage, and weight distribution. For further drainage, most projects have a 6-inch minimum layer of gravel beneath the sand.

Wood from black walnut, magnolia, eucalyptus, red maple, and invasive species like tree of heaven are not recommended for mulching. These trees release allelochemicals that can suppress plant growth. Some homeowners, however, use wood from these trees for mulching if it is less potent due to age or concentration, or if the plants are not as sensitive to them.

No one likes running out of materials during a project, so calculating the right amount of gravel needed for your driveway is an absolute must. Multiply your driveway’s length by width by the depth of the gravel (in feet). For gravel depth, convert to a decimal (i.e., 4 inches is 0.33 feet). This will give you the cubic feet of material that you need.

If you’re looking for cubic yards, divide that above number by 27.

How much 4 yards of dirt will cover depends on how deep you want the soil to be. In general, a yard of dirt will cover 324 square feet for a 1-inch depth or 100 square feet for a 3-inch depth. Therefore, you can expect 4 yards to cover between 400 and 1,296 square feet if you keep your soil depth between 1 and 3 inches.

The best equipment for moving large rocks from your yard depends on their size and weight. A heavy-duty wheelbarrow or a rock dolly can be effective for smaller boulders. A skid-steer loader or a mini-excavator with a grapple attachment provides the necessary power and control for larger, heavier rocks that you can’t lift manually. Professionals may use a larger excavator and ratchet hoist to remove larger boulders.
