"I hired this contractor in Sturgis, Mississippi to cut the grass at a property that had been sitting vacant. The yard was extremely overgrown and the grass was very tall, so it was a major job from the start. He came out, walked the entire property with me, assessed the condition, and clearly explained his plan for how he would bring everything back under control. He and his team did an outstanding job. The transformation was incredible. What started as an overwhelming project ended up looking clean, neat, and well maintained. After the initial cut, he continued maintaining the lawn for the entire season. He was always on schedule, consistently on time, and the work was done impeccably every single visit. His pricing was fair and affordable, especially considering the size and condition of the job. I truly appreciated his professionalism, reliability, and attention to detail. I highly recommend his services to anyone in need of dependable, high quality lawn care."

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

It depends on the model of your pool. You’ll always have to level the topsoil, but most vinyl-lined pools require an additional 1- to 2-inch layer of sand to protect the liner. This way, when a foot kicks down to the bottom of your pool, it’s not scraping the liner against the hard ground. If your pool isn’t vinyl-lined, you can skip this step or add a layer of another base material, like decomposed granite. Always check your manufacturer’s instructions before you begin.

Before you begin landscaping with rocks, put down a weed barrier or landscape fabric to prevent pesky weeds from poking through. 

As a base, you should use a fertilizer with a 5-5-5 NPK ratio (5% nitrogen, 5% phosphorus, and 5% potassium). You may need a different ratio depending on what your soil is lacking, but a soil test can help determine the perfect amount.

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.

You can use regular sand as the base for your pavers and in between pavers to seal the joints. Many pros reach for polymeric sand, also known as all-purpose sand, because it has been sifted and washed to remove impurities. But you can easily level ground and fill gaps between pavers for a clean look using regular sand, sometimes at a lower cost.
