"Since the E B team did my lawn for years, I thought of them for mulching. On 7/2/22 they came with a full team, edged first, and then spread a nice layer of shredded brown mulch and smoothed it out. The result is beautiful, the price was right, and I am grateful that Ed's team was available for this work."

"I have my gardens mulched every year and this was the best job ever done. It looks wonderful! The workers arrived on the designated day and were very anxious to please. They did a great job. The neighbors have remarked about noticing the effort these people made and how nice it looks. The mulch was applied several inches deep and will do a great job of controlling weeds throughout the summer. I have already asked them to schedule me for next year."

"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

Generally, it is not necessary to remove old mulch before applying a new layer. As organic mulch breaks down, it enriches the soil with nutrients. However, you should remove the old layer if it shows signs of fungus or disease, which can be common in moist areas, or if the total depth is already too thick. Avoid letting the total mulch depth exceed 3 inches, as this can harm plant roots. If you do remove old, disease-free mulch, it can be added to a compost pile.

The best size river rock for your landscaping project depends on how you plan to use the stones. Generally, most river rocks used in landscaping are between 1/2 and 8 inches in diameter. For walkways and pathways, smaller rocks between 1 and 3 inches are suitable. For water features, medium-sized stones from 2 to 5 inches often work best. Garden beds can benefit from a mix of medium and large stones, ranging from 3 to 8 inches. These sizes can cover applications like decorative flower beds and drainage areas around foundations or retaining walls. For added visual interest, landscapers sometimes intersperse smaller river rocks with large boulders.

The best way to keep dirt around your foundation is to ensure your drainage is working properly and redirecting water well away from the foundation. Soil erosion is one of the most common causes of basement flooding, so it’s important to make sure you’re retaining the soil you replaced after learning how to regrade around the foundation. In addition, your foundation planting can also help prevent erosion. For example, plant roots to help keep soil in place.

Pea gravel is a type of gravel that is generally smaller and rounder than regular gravel. It's usually made from river rock and is available in a wide range of colors. Thanks to its soft, round shape, pea gravel is more comfortable to walk on compared to standard gravel, which can have sharp edges. A drawback of pea gravel is that it can scatter more easily than other gravel types.

Yes, pea gravel is good for driveways as long as your driveway isn’t built on a hill or any type of slope where it can slide. It’ll settle on a flat surface and create a suitable driveway over time, though some spreading initially will take place. If you're wondering how to make a gravel driveway in a high-rainfall area, using pea gravel could help you to cut down on costs needed for extra drainage solutions.
