"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

Sand is a common sublayer for hardscape features like driveways, paver patios, and more. Most projects that involve sand require a 1-inch layer to promote evenness, drainage, and weight distribution. For further drainage, most projects have a 6-inch minimum layer of gravel beneath the sand. 

Yes, you can custom-color your gravel if you’d like. Use an acrylic- or oil-based paint designed for outdoor use, and apply sealant to protect it from the elements. Some companies offer customized color gravel, either mixing the colorant in a cement mixer with gravel or using industrial mixers to dye, paint, or color it.

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.

How tall your mulch should be around your tree depends on the type of mulch you use, but aim for 3 to 4 inches as a rule of thumb. You’ll want to avoid simply piling it up in hopes of offering additional benefits to your tree. Volcano mulching is the infamous term for piling way too much mulch against the stem of your tree. This could actually kill your tree or severely harm it, as your tree trunk needs space to breathe without too much moisture.

The least costly way to keep grass from growing is also the most labor-intensive: regular weeding. Pull out grass blades as you see them pop up through the soil in areas where they’re unwanted. Another cost-effective way to keep grass from growing is by spreading a thick layer of mulch on the area as this will suffocate the grass.
