"We recently moved to Columbia and I wanted to lay some river rock in 3 areas of my courtyard to make a permanent cover where previously it was mulch. The estimate was about 3 tons of stone and I contacted a local stone supplier for the materials. At the same time I checked on HomeAdvisor for someone to to the work placing all the stone as that's just too big a job for me to do by myself (maybe 20 years ago....). After reading the reviews and checking with several companies I was very pleased with my conversation with Fred from DMF Landscaping and decided to go with Fred. He worked up an estimate for me that included everything start to finish, and also included an option to pickup the stone as part of the project rather than having to coordinate with the Stone Store for delivery. The price was not the lowest, and was the next to highest, but in a world where you don't wlays get what you pay for, I found Fred's estimate to be very fair, assuming quality work would be included. Fred contacted me the day before the project to confirm, and that was already off to a good start as that doesn't always happen with contractors. Many times it's been a guessing.waiting game. Not with DMF! On project day Fred called me from the Stone Store to let me know he had the materials and was on the way over. 40 minutes later he and his team arrived on schedule and after a quick walk-through of the project site to make sure everyone was on the same page, they got to work. His crew were friendly and very conscientious of their work: -- the type of stone we ordered ranged in size from 2-3 inches across (think big golf ball) to 5-6 inches across on some of the bigger stones (big softball). My wife and I were able to see them working through the kitchen windows and we noticed the care they used to select the largest stones to place around the edges of each of the areas to create a border, and them placed the smaller stone in the middle to fill out the areas. This careful border placement very much added to the visual appeal of the areas. It would have been quite easy for them to just dump all the stones and spread them out, and I mist likely would not have known the difference. But they went to this extra effort and the results are simply fantastic. Fred was an excellent communicator through the entire process and I cannot recommend them highly enough. I will absolutely be calling on Fred and the DMF team for all future work, and have already given his name to several neighbors who came by to compliment us on the 'new look'. It's really a show stopper and it's due to the hard work and professionalism of Fred and his crew. Not easy to find this type of quality and concern for a job well done, so in closing, a big 'THANK YOU - WELL DONE' to Fred and DMF!"

"I hired Baumann's Lawn and Landscape to fix my front lawn. The soil was mostly clay and sand and covered in weeds. They killed and removed all the vegetation, tilled the soil, brought in new topsoil, conditioned/fertilized, and then laid sod. The crew was fast, efficient, polite, and did an amazing job (hopefully this site allows me to upload photos after writing this). The work was done in 3 separate days and took less than 2 weeks from the initial phone call to the finished installation. The price is what you would expect for this level of work and that much sod (sod is not cheap). They're not over-priced but it's not Bob's discount landscaping either. You'll get your money's worth for your project. Baumann's will be my #1 choice for future landscape projects."

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

The best way to landscape your front yard on a budget is to invest in hiring a professional for hardscaping—things like upgrading walkways, redoing driveways, and installing partitions around garden beds. You can often do the softscaping yourself—think laying down mulch, caring for your lawn, removing weeds, and planting flowers and shrubs. It’s also almost always worthwhile to pay a professional for routine yard maintenance, as this dramatically improves curb appeal and delivers above 100% ROI in most cases.

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.

Determine whether you have any other heavy, bulky, or oddly-shaped items you’d like to relocate, such as a washing machine or other appliance. Since many professional moving companies may charge minimum fees for their services, you could end up paying the same cost to move a refrigerator as you would to move the fridge and a second or third item.

The difference between river rock and landscaping rocks is size, smoothness, and use. River rocks are smooth and flat, as if polished by water, and come in diameters between 1 and 8 inches. Landscape rock can vary in size from small pea gravel installations to car-sized boulders. However, landscaping and river rocks are interchangeable in many situations. River rock is best for pathways, walkways, garden bed mulch, water features, and planting accents, while small landscape rocks can serve as a walkway base, gravel playground areas, and filler between pavers.

Gravel driveways require regular maintenance because the material can shift over time. Routine tasks include raking the gravel to ensure an even layer, filling in ruts or low spots, and removing debris, especially after storms. You should also add fresh gravel as needed to prevent potholes, remove weeds by hand or with an herbicide, and occasionally spray the driveway with water to reduce dust.

Periodically, you may need to grade and level the entire driveway, which is often done every few years. Any refilled potholes should be compacted; for excessive dust, you can use a mechanical compactor. To minimize future maintenance, ensure the land is properly graded before installation and consider laying down landscaping fabric to help keep the gravel in place. In areas with heavy rain, reinforcing the edges can help prevent erosion. Additionally, it's best to avoid using a snowplow on a gravel driveway during the winter.
