"Zack, Breezy and their colleagues are absolutely the BEST at what they do. We live 5 hours away and needed someone that we could trust to look after our Airbnb investment. Having a good property manager is insanely important. Carlow Property Management took care of everything, including marketing, upkeep of the house and yard, dealing with issues (appliances dying,etc), taking our lakeside dock out, and they did it all in a timely, proactive manner. Their communication has been excellent. Also, they have a phenomenal network of resources that helped us get jobs and repairs done quickly, properly, and affordable. Zack, Breezy and their team made this an effortless and head-ache free adventure for us. A good property manager is hard to find, a great one is almost impossible. Carlow Property Management is truly great. If you can use them...do it, you won't regret it!"

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

While you can put gravel directly on dirt, it won’t be very stable. It also won’t block out any weeds. Most experts recommend layering weed barrier and a layer of packed sand or other foundation material to prevent the gravel from sinking into the earth and being overtaken by weeds.

Seal bags firmly for materials like soil or mulch, store unused parts in dry and cool spaces to prevent decay and use material visually formed covers for extended periods.

Permits depend on local regulations concerning street use and public spaces. Check requirements with community authorities to avoid fines or logistical issues.

Mid to late spring is the best time of year to mulch. If you do it too early in the spring, the mulch could slow down the warming process of the soil and affect how well plants grow. By mid to late spring the temperatures are usually steadying, making it an ideal time to spread mulch.

If you’re mulching in the fall, aim to lay down the material right after the first frost, which will vary by climate. Late October and early November are good time ranges to aim for. Try to lay down your mulch after a light rainfall to lock in moisture for root growth through the winter.
