B+ for cleaning up after themselves--threw personal trash from lunch in my recycling bin, piled 20 or so small plastic bags from mulch into my garbage can --and empty plastic dripping weed killer cans--I had to clean out and bag this stuff--hose out the can--the garbage collectors only take bagged garbage--don't they know this? They bagged leaves but left a huge pile of plant clippings just lying on the curb--I offered them additional bags, he said it would not fit--the next day these blew all over my neighborhood and at age 60+ I had to go up and down the street and pick them up; Lastly they cut down a shrub with thick branches, at my curb--my neighbors brought large chunks of wood to my yard that they threw in the street--once again--I went up and down my property looking for pieces of wood that my puncture my own tires --and found them! The price was right--but if I had them again I would insist beforehand on specific clean-up procedures.

Most of the people there are helpful. I installed a garden in front of my house as well as lots of gardens in my back yard. I got all the dirt, topsoil and plants - tomatoes, blueberries, several types of herbs, strawberries, eggplants, peppers, cucumbers, etc,etc, etc from them. Scott at Charvet's gives good advice. I have also purchased lots of organic gardening supplies and supplements and then lots of chemical and soil supplements when the organic stuff would not get rid of the bugs or address the problems. Every time we went back to visit, we left with more supplements and chemicals to address whatever was going on. Somewhat frustrating, but last year, we had a decent crop for a first go-round.
This year I planned to do more gardening and also plant trees. I went back to Charvet's. I told Michelle that I wanted a satsuma tree and an avocado tree, she dicussed this with me and a week later my husband and I came back to buy all the plants for the garden as well as the trees. The avocado tree was $69.00! We bought it and planted it as instructed and gave it the "Pecan and Citrus Tree Food" we purchased, which Michelle said would be good for both trees. Within two weeks, the tree wasn't looking good. I took pictures and went back to Charvet's. I showed Scott the pictures and he confirmed we had planted it correctly, it was draining, the root bulb wasn't buried, etc. However, he said no way should we have been told to give it Pecan and Citrus Tree Food as that was "way too much nitrogen" for the avocado. Another 50.00 worth of supplements and instructions to try to save the tree and I was off again. The tree now looks completely dead. I called Charvet's on 4/5 and spoke with someone who said there is nothing that they can do. I asked if they would replace the tree like some of the other stores in the area and she said no, they weren't a big box store like Home Depot. I told her Perrino's (not a big box store) has a year long guarantee and this has been a month. All I have done is purchase plants and enough chemicals and supplements to go into the garden supply business and I would expect them to do something to correct the situation, especially when apparently I had been given incorrect advice on how to care for the avodcado tree. She said she really didn't see what they could do, that there are too many other variables coming into play as to whether a tree would make it.
In short, if you can afford to throw lots of money into supplements and chemicals and don't care if things work or don't, you can head to Charvet's. Everytime you visit and bring up a problem, they will sell you something to address it. However, if you are looking for customer service, a professional attitude, or for someone to stand by the advice they give or their $69.00 trees, you might want to go elsewhere. I've spent a ton of money there and I guess I will have to find another place for my gardening supplies and plants."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/la/metairie/charvet%27s-garden-ctr-inc-reviews-4183679.htm"},"position":4},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Jeff of all Trades","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"LA","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Lisette S."},"reviewBody":"I would not recommend him to a dog. He came recommended to me by another company that used him as their installer. He put a rush on me when I called him to do the work. He did a horrible job with all of the work that I hired him for. He never finished the work and I ended up firing him from the project. While he was out to my home he talked about always doing favors for people. I made the mistake of mentioning that I was thinking about having a rental property of mine power washed, because of some mold. He went over to the property, power washed the entire home and sent me a bill for eight hundred and some odd dollars. I had not intended to have the work done at the time, much less by him. He also cut the grass that had just been mowed and removed all of the mulch and bulbs from my flower beds without my asking. He is not professional to work with at all. He made excuses for why he was not out on time. When he first came out he was bragging about having good reports on Angie's List. He showed by a bunch of good reports, and when I went on I found some negative reports. When I confronted him about it he said that it was a problem and it had been corrected.

She even told me which soil would save me a step because I could lay on top of the old soil and not bother with tilling it in. After we paid for our soil, we lined up for the front loaders and were on our way. Putting the topsoil in the yard was a breeze. You could tell it was of great quality because it looked very dark and rich compared to our old compacted soil and clay. It also had a great earthy smell. We put the grass sod down, and two weeks later it seems to be growing very well.

"The 2 workers who installed the drainage system should be paid well since they did the entire project in the heat using shovels. No problem there. The problem comes with lack of follow up in gutter work. A contractor was sent and an astronomical bid was given. I called Mr Mike and received no return call and am expecting none. He was to also tamp down the dirt mound and replace sod after a six week period much like another person and I haven’t heard anything and again don’t expect to. Sad."

FAQs for mulch and topsoil service projects in Killian, LA
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.
Mulch costs anywhere from $30 to $150 per cubic yard, depending on the type you choose. On the inexpensive end, red and black mulch are about $35 to $40 per cubic yard, and are typically made from recycled waste wood like shredded old pallets or deck material. Cedar, cypress, and rubber mulch cost anywhere from $100 to $120 per cubic yard. A pro can help you determine the type of mulch most suitable for your landscaping needs.
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.
No, mulch itself does not necessarily attract termites even though it’s usually made of shredded wood. Some types of mulch like cedar or cypress resist termites because they’re toxic or unappetizing to the wood munchers. However, when the mulch is deep enough, say three inches or more, it creates a perfect habitat for insects of all kinds to build nests.
Although it’s not required to lay anything under mulch, it can help to put landscape fabric or plastic weed barrier down and lay mulch on top. The barrier helps keep weeds from growing up through your mulch. It also helps keep rodents and insects from burrowing into the ground underneath.
