"Two employees that he brought. A wrapped on time. At 10 o'clock by 11: 30, they were by 11 o'clock. They were having to call him to bring him a chainsaw because their equipment didn't have bars on the chainsaw so they couldn't cut. I had a tree down in my yard and it needed it to be cut up. It was a partial tree. They didn't even have the equipment to cut it up. And then, like, I said . Guy was there when the employee called him at 11: 30, and asked for a chainsaw, and he didn't show up with anything until 4: 30. In the afternoon, these guys were out there trying to chop up these trees using a pickaxe. They didn't even have a telephone to call him with. He left them without a phone. They had to use my phone and my daughter's phone to even contact him. And then he rushed me to pay him because he told me not to worry about it until you know everything was done. And he rushed me to pay him. I was out at the grocery store, and I told him I'd be home. He, they told me, you were here. And that's what I'm not. I'll be right there. And then, when I get there, he's standing on my porch waiting on me. I thought you were in the house, and I already told him I wasn't at home. Well, then I go out and I look after they leave because he didn't even give me time to look. They had taken a wreck and a half of my firewood that they weren't supposed to touch. They had chopped up my, uh Rosa Sharon bush, that they weren't supposed to touch. They were supposed to take a pile of brush out of the backyard. They didn't take it, and they were supposed to trim two small trees out over the top of my shed, and those didn't get touched. And when I told him that he argued with me and said, well, they said they did it with a machete. As it was obvious. If you come and look, those trees are still there so I didn't like his attitude. I didn't like the way he treated his employees. They had no way to contact him if and when they had gotten done early, which they couldn't because they didn't have the equipment they needed to do the job with. But he sure wanted my money real quick. "

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

Yes, mulch can attract pests. Spiders, centipedes, and ants are some common pests that are attracted to mulch. You can avoid infestation by laying your bags of mulch in the heat for a few hours or by using an inorganic mulch, as it’s less attractive to pests.

If you hire a professional landscaper, you could expect to pay between $90 and $660 to install three cubic yards of river rock. (That’s based on the average river rock installation cost of $30 to $220 per cubic yard.) However, the exact price depends on the kind of river rock you choose. Crushed limestone and riprap are some of the more affordable options, while boulders and Arizona river rock are pricier.

Many suppliers offer installation services, either directly or through reliable subcontractors. Discuss these needs when ordering, as they may require additional scheduling or payment.

The cost of 200 square feet of pea gravel depends on how deep your installation will be. The pea gravel material alone costs between $15 and $75 per cubic yard. You'll need just under two yards to cover 200 square feet to a depth of three inches, for a total cost of between $30 and $150.

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.
