Q: How do I determine the quantity needed for my landscape project?

• <div><p>Measure the area needing coverage and consult with suppliers on average depth requirements for each material. Calculations often use cubic yards for accuracy and practicality.</p></div>

Q: Should I put sand under my stepping stones?

• <div><p>Using sand under stepping stones can be beneficial in certain situations. Sand can help level the ground and provide stability for the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/five-stepping-stone-designs-try.htm">stepping stones</a>, 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.</p></div>

Q: What are the cons of forestry mulching?

• <div><p>Some drawbacks of forestry mulching include leaving behind a thick mulch layer, not being suitable for extremely rocky areas, creating conditions that attract pests, and not being able to fully remove large trees and stumps. You may need to pay extra to have larger trees felled and stumps ground in order to fully clear your land.</p></div>

Q: How much does topsoil cost?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/truck-load-fill-dirt.htm">Topsoil costs</a> from <b>$12 to $55 per cubic yard</b>, 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.</p></div>

Q: Do you need to compact crushed stone or gravel?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re using crushed stone or gravel as a base material, then yes, you should compact it to prevent movement of the top layers. For instance, if you don&rsquo;t compact crushed stone or gravel and you lay pavers on top of them, the pavers will shift over time. However, if you&rsquo;re using gravel or crushed stone as a top layer for aesthetic purposes, you might not want to compact the materials.</p></div>

Garden Warrior arrived on time, and she did an excellent job of cleaning leaves, bark mulch, limb debris, and pinecones from my yard. I would definitely hire her again when I need mulch and planting help in my garden.

Terrible. Don't pay this man in advance! He did most of the garden work and it looked good. He raked the leaves from the groundcover into piles on the grass and left a stack of branches piled among the bushes. I paid him the $300 we had agreed upon because I work long hours and wasn't sure I...
