"We have some trees in our backyard that we thought was a part of our property but it turns out it was a part of the churches property behind our house. One of the trees fell after a storm, and the church asked for our assistance to find a good tree service. We called Fortec and they came out and gave an exceptional bid. The church ended up hiring Fortec so they came out to begin work. First, they told us they own their equipment, but they actually rent. They then say they have their own crew, but it turns out they actually hire people off craigslist to complete projects for them. They say they start at 8am, but they wouldn't show up until about 9:30, and actually start work at 10am. Originally this job was supposed to take 2 days, it ended up taking a week. When they cut the trees, they ended up damaging the churches parking lot. Instead of cutting the tree in sections and letting it come down safely, they cut the tree down in one whole piece, which put a huge hole in the churches parking lot. The guy who runs Fortec, Steve, did not at the time tell the church he damaged the parking lot. instead he tried to repair it without anyone noticing with very cheap asphalt. He did not even tell the church he did this, they found out on their own. They tried to tell him the patch job he did was insufficient, but he refused to repair what he did. He told us he was going to come back on the 28th of September to finish, but to this day he hasn't returned. I tried to contact him on the 30th, and he told me he was not coming back because the church was refusing to pay him. He said they wont pay him because of the hole in the parking lot, but the originally tree service wasn't even finished. He is refusing to come back to finish the work. I would not recommend hiring this company, he is not trustworthy at all."

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

Although it’s not required to lay anything under mulch, it can help to put landscape fabric or plastic weed barrier down and lay mulch on top. The barrier helps keep weeds from growing up through your mulch. It also helps keep rodents and insects from burrowing into the ground underneath.

Mulch is made from natural materials, which will break down and add nutrients to your soil for better plant and soil health, so removing old mulch is unnecessary before putting down new mulch. However, if you live in a particularly moist area, it’s possible that the old mulch will harbor fungus or mold, which can hurt plant health. If you notice these issues, you might want to consider removing the old mulch first. Otherwise, save time and money by placing new mulch right over the old mulch.

Replace organic mulch every one to two years, depending on the variety. Wood chips and straw, for example, will last a couple of years, while grass clippings and pine needles need replacing every several months. Inorganic mulch—such as rock and rubber chips—can stay in place for up to four years, depending on erosion and general garden upkeep. 

If you hire a professional landscaper, you could expect to pay between $90 and $660 to install three cubic yards of river rock. (That’s based on the average river rock installation cost of $30 to $220 per cubic yard.) However, the exact price depends on the kind of river rock you choose. Crushed limestone and riprap are some of the more affordable options, while boulders and Arizona river rock are pricier.

Yes, rubber mulch allows water to seep through and reach the soil underneath. Rubber mulch is not as absorbent as organic mulch, which allows the soil underneath to stay moist and hydrated. Keep in mind that the permeability of rubber mulch can get clogged by landscape fabric and other additional materials.
