"We let our landscaping get overgrown and out of control. Mike came over to take a look and gave us great advice. We decided to move forward and they were here the next week. The crew worked extremely hard and got everything done in one day! I couldn’t believe it. Everything turned out great. We’ll definitely be using them again and will recommend to others!"

"Marvin and his team were great. They came out for a quote and gave us a very fair price for the job we needed done. We had difficulty finding a company to do the job and Marvin was so nice and professional and actually came out later the same day to get the job done. They were extremely thorough and their work was absolutely top notch. Thanks so much Marvin and team!"

"Ricardo from 4 star landscaping did a fantastic job on my drainage problem. He was very knowledgeable about the best way to make it affordable and take care of the problem. His team was very professional, was on time and came up with some other ideas. A neighbor, who had the same problem, hired them to do their work and to do other landscaping. They do all kinds of landscaping. Would highly recommend them."

"I hired Crown Down Exterior Services to clean and repair my gutters. Paul Simone was the consummate professional. He explained what he was going to do, gave me a quote, performed the work, and went above and beyond repairing some things from the previous work I'd had done. He stayed in constant communication with me. There were no surprises and no "uh-oh" moments. He and his team did a wonderful job. I will definitely hire this company again."

"The carpenters with Capo Designs are master craftsmen. I had been told by numerous carpenters that they were not able to make a cabinet door that matched my cabinetry. Well these woodworkers did not hesitate in saying that they could complete my job! The contours of the cabinet door are an EXACT match. They did a beautiful job with matching the type of wood and the stain and finish are a perfect match! They were VERY friendly, competent, and went the extra mile to make sure that I was pleased with the job. I would definitely refer Alex and Francisco for any woodworking job."

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

Pea gravel can retain some heat, but it generally stays cooler than materials like concrete, asphalt, or stone pavers. Lighter-colored pea gravel reflects more sunlight and tends to stay cooler, while darker-colored gravel can absorb heat and become warmer to the touch.

You can fill the holes weeds leave behind with soil or sand to avoid unsightly spots or tripping hazards. If you remove weeds from a grassy area, fill the hole with soil and grass seed, and water regularly to promote grass growth.

While they’re popular and have a lot of pros, the cons of river rocks include the following:

  • River rocks don’t break down or provide nutrients to plants. 

  • These stones can get hot and scorch nearby plants. 

  • River stones may heat the surrounding soil to inhospitable temperatures. 

  • Rocks can block rainwater from seeping into the ground if installations are too thick or tightly packed.

Most downsides occur when using river rock as mulch in gardens and flower beds. However, you can still incorporate river rocks into your landscape as long as you use them in the correct ways.

The best time to lay mulch depends on the type of mulch and the reason for installing it: 

  • Summer: Adding extra mulch helps soil retain moisture and keeps weeds at bay, allowing plants to thrive. 

  • Fall: Adding mulch helps control weeds and keeps soil and roots warm during the cooler months. Aim to add a layer of mulch 2 to 4 inches deep.

  • Winter: Mulch around perennial plants to help keep them insulated.

  • Spring: Wait until the ground has thawed. Depending on the thickness, add between 1 and 4 inches of mulch to provide freeze and rain protection and enrich the soil.

Depending on the size of the river rock and the density of your soil, add woven landscape fabric or sand under river rock. The extra layer will ensure your river rock sits evenly and doesn't create puddles or uneven areas throughout the design. In some cases, nothing is necessary beneath river rock, but be sure to speak with a landscaper to keep your landscaping looking sharp.
