"Wonderfully! They did an Outstanding job for me. They trimmed the bushes and trees nicely, weeded, and mulched beautifully, with clean, cut edges between the mulch and lawn. They arrived before 8 am on the appointed day and beautified my home exterior for the photo shoot 3 days later. Am very pleased."

"2 poorly done jobs was enough for us. They are unreliable, unprepared, lack communication, and cut corners. After I reached out with my dissatisfaction he blocked me from his Facebook page so that I could not leave a review. Red flag. Outdoor permanent light install: They no showed on the agreed day, that night Kyle reached out and asked if they could come the next morning. The day of the install they were a few hours late, making me late for work, when they arrived they realized they mismeasured and didn't have additional supplies they needed so they asked us to order them and would come back when we had them. Second time they come back and they are several hours late again. After 8-9 hours of hanging 125 feet of lights, fixing something that was overlooked, and sticking around to troubleshoot issues, the lights worked for about 10 minutes-long enough for us to admire and for them to get their pictures for social media, then a few lights went out. I assumed it was something going on in the app and would have my husband check it out, so I sent them on their way. It was dark and cold and didn't want to keep them any longer, and I needed to get my kids in bed. Next morning we go outside to see the installation wasn't holding up. Lights that were supposed to be screwed on were hanging off, cords that were supposed to be tucked away were flying in the wind, and more cords that I asked them to hide were not hidden (that was my fault for not checking the night of because it was dark). I reached out immediately asking if they could come back to take them down. Kyle agreed and also offered to come back to troubleshoot and fix what was wrong instead but I declined because given all the trouble we went through we were not confident in their ability to fix these issues for the long term. The idea of throwing away money on the install and paying them again to take them down was gut wrenching but we had no other way of getting them down ourselves and we just wanted to be done with it and at least recoup the money we spent on the lights. He told me he would get an estimate to remove them and be there on a specific day. Well, said day comes around and he is a no show nor did I ever get an estimate, so I texted him asking if he was still coming and the cost. I didn't hear from him until afternoon of the following day saying he can be there the next morning and provided me his estimate which was just a little cheaper than the install, which seemed unethical considering their install didn't even last through the night. At that point I replied to Kyle and said not to bother, I reached out to a friend to help when I hadn't heard from him. Fast forward a few days later when our friend comes to help take the lights down we find that an entire section of lights weren't even properly secured to the soffit. Per our original request they were asked to screw the lights on and we specifically asked them to not use the adhesive, well they used adhesive for 1/3 of the lights and no screws. When the lights came down there was adhesive left all over the underside of our house including some of the light backings! At this point I'm angry, these guys clearly didn't do what was asked, therefore resulting in a botched installation. I then reached out to Kyle to let them know that we found they didn't do the installation properly and that all lights were not secured with screws. Kyle argued multiple times that each light was screwed in despite me sending him several pictures and videos where there is no screw hole but instead leftover adhesive. He offered to come back and remove the adhesive to which I declined because I can't trust him at this point. I asked him instead if he could do a partial refund considering we paid all this money for this install that was done improperly and he refused. He told me that he believes they did quality work and that "he is sorry I feel this way". He never owned up to his mistakes nor gave a sincere apology. The other was a small landscape job where corners were cut and didn't hold up for more than a few weeks."

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

You should add 1 to 4 inches of mulch, depending on your garden type and needs. Keep in mind that no amount of mulch can completely prevent weeds, but a heavier coverage (closer to 4 inches) can suppress weeds enough that you are only seeing them sprout every few weeks. Finer mulch prevents weeds more effectively than large mulch, so if you’re using mulched leaves or shredded bark, 1 to 2 inches will likely suffice, while 3 to 4 inches is best for larger mulch, like bark chips or straw.

The best time to lay mulch depends on the type of mulch and the reason for installing it: 

  • Summer: Adding extra mulch helps soil retain moisture and keeps weeds at bay, allowing plants to thrive. 

  • Fall: Adding mulch helps control weeds and keeps soil and roots warm during the cooler months. Aim to add a layer of mulch 2 to 4 inches deep.

  • Winter: Mulch around perennial plants to help keep them insulated.

  • Spring: Wait until the ground has thawed. Depending on the thickness, add between 1 and 4 inches of mulch to provide freeze and rain protection and enrich the soil.

Pea gravel is hands down a top pick for managing landscape drainage.  These small stones allow water to flow through easily by creating natural gaps that promote runoff. Beyond functionality, pea gravel also offers visual versatility. Homeowners will find a range of earthy tones like gray, brown, blue, and even red, making it easy to match with different outdoor styles and plantings.

You should use mulch because it protects garden soil in a few key ways. This extra layer between the ground and the elements protects against erosion, helps your soil maintain moisture, regulates changes in temperature, adds nutrients as it decomposes, and keeps weeds at bay.

Using sand under stepping stones can be beneficial in certain situations. Sand can help level the ground and provide stability for the stepping stones, especially if the ground is uneven. It also allows for minor adjustments during the installation process. However, sand may not be the best choice for all environments. In areas with high foot traffic or heavy rain, sand may wash away or become displaced, leading to an uneven surface. In such cases, a more stable base material like gravel or crushed stone is preferable. Consider your specific landscape conditions before deciding whether to use sand under stepping stones.
