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

Rocks are less likely to attract snakes and other critters because their prey (termites, ticks, and other insects) don’t usually inhabit this environment. However, if you have placed together rocks with large spaces in between or near a source of water, you may find a snake or an occasional chipmunk seeking shelter.

Keeping your gravel driveway beautiful—or any gravel structure for that matter—does call for regular maintenance. You may occasionally need to add more gravel to low areas if you notice any pooling after rainfall. Gravel might also become excessively dusty over time. You can compact it with a mechanical compactor, which you can rent for around $80 to $85 per day.

To minimize maintenance requirements for your gravel, it’s important to ensure your land is properly graded before installing the gravel. It’s also helpful to lay landscaping fabric beforehand to keep it in place.

Costs depend on waste volume, service frequency, and additional options like bulk pickups.

Topsoil should go down first. If the topsoil is next to your house, make sure the grade slopes away from the house to keep water from pooling against your foundation and possibly leaking into your basement or crawl space. Don’t cover your decorative landscape mulch with topsoil as that defeats the purpose of laying down the mulch. If you’re trying to create a certain soil composition to improve plant growth, you’ll likely want compost mixed into the topsoil instead of mulch. Over time, any decorative wood mulch will simply decompose under the topsoil.

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.
