"Really disappointed in the entire experience with grounds quality lawn. Starting with just initiating the job, it took nearly a month to get responses from them and get someone out to start work. I only stuck with it at that point because a family friend said they were good but should have gone with my gut and found another company at that point. The guys they sent were constantly taking breaks and at one point the foreman even grabbed my fishing pole and spent about 30 min fishing while the remaining four watched him. This wouldn't have bothered me as much if the rate I was paying was more reasonable but they were charging me about $600 per hour for the 5 guys so these breaks and fishing sessions were costing me a lot of money. I voiced my concern with the project manager who just made excuses and cared not at all about what was going on. I asked to speak to owner Justin grounds who did the same. Just excused the behavior and had no problem with it whatsoever. All the while no one could explain why the hourly rate was so high when the guys were working so inefficiently. They kept saying the hourly rate was $60 per hour per crew member but charging me double that with no explanation. Not sure if I was just unlucky or if the company is getting complacent and resting on their reputation but I was very unimpressed and I am generally very easy going with these things and rarely complain about having bad service from anyone."

My name is Emily. I am available for any daily help that your family may require. Ranging, but not limited to house care needs, lawn and garage care, pet and child care, errand runs, and more help available. I have been working in others homes for various help requirements since I was 14; making it a total of 15 years of experience. I have worked in industrial and multi-unit residential properties as well over the last 8 years. I have gained knowledge of many different skills and talents with my wide range of career fields. I enjoy being able to help people and hopefully make one less task, or maybe many tasks; for their daily routine lists. I also have 15 years of babysitting, housesitting, petsitting, elderly care and plant care expereience. I have also gained experience in minor maintainance, house painting, drywall , and other home improvements in that time. I have multiple resources for tasks that I may need to contract out for assitance on larger projects or automobile care related needs. I am a big animal person. My family has been very active with a variety of animals of the years and generations. The last three generations; including myself, gained a passion for dog breeding. From yorkies to golden retrievers, and then labs as well as labradoodles. I took agriculture courses in high school including volunteering on local farms. It may seems a bit crazy to offer such a wide range of services. The variety is my motivation; it helps change up my routine and it is what drives my passion to help others. I know my job my been hectic but at the end I was able to make that persons life a bit less stressful. I learned these skills knowing that I may just need to know how to do that one day when I have nobody to help. Little did I know I would enjoy putting that knowledge to use helping others instead. I would love to hear from you and see if I am able to assist you and your family in daily tasks that may need some extra hands.

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

How tall your mulch should be around your tree depends on the type of mulch you use, but aim for 3 to 4 inches as a rule of thumb. You’ll want to avoid simply piling it up in hopes of offering additional benefits to your tree. Volcano mulching is the infamous term for piling way too much mulch against the stem of your tree. This could actually kill your tree or severely harm it, as your tree trunk needs space to breathe without too much moisture.

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.

Topsoil costs from $12 to $55 per cubic yard, depending on the type you choose. For example, screened black dirt will cost about $15 per cubic yard. Loam (soil composed of sand, silt, and clay) costs about $17 per cubic yard. Standard screened topsoil costs about $20 per cubic yard. The type of topsoil you need depends on your landscaping plans.

Some drawbacks of forestry mulching include leaving behind a thick mulch layer, not being suitable for extremely rocky areas, creating conditions that attract pests, and not being able to fully remove large trees and stumps. You may need to pay extra to have larger trees felled and stumps ground in order to fully clear your land.

Small gravel is the better option since it creates a stable, even surface that’s easier on paws and hooves. Large gravel can be uncomfortable and may shift too much underfoot. So if you’re using gravel in pet or livestock areas, go for smooth, rounded small gravel to prevent injuries and discomfort.
