"I NEVER leave reviews, BUT this one deserves a review. I called Bolton Grading & Clearing to do an estimate on clearing some land for me. They were out that afternoon giving me an estimate. Started that week and had it done within a week. Very affordable pricing. I explained what I wanted and DJ let me know what he thought. I let him go with it, and it turned out great. I had to remember he does this for a living not me. "

"Owner isn’t going to complete project. Supposed to be complete mid July. Now mid September. Quality of work that is complete is excellent.

Our staff has been trained to pay attention to all details, which reflects on the craftsmanship of every project completed. We take great pride in our work... AND IT SHOWS! We feel this attitude is one of the most important contributors to our success and to the satisfaction of the customers we serve.

It will look fantastic for generations, and if it ever becomes stained or marred by paint or oil it can be repaired quickly, easily and invisibly. Individual stones can be replaced with matching ones so that the surface looks exactly as it did before the accident occurred. This is impossible with any other type of pavement. The huge range of colors and patterns available makes customized design possible for any type of courtyard, patio, deck, or driveway. We will work with you to create the perfect match for your project, whether it is patio pavers for your deck or a complete landscape design to complement your new paving stone driveway and walkways.

1997 years of experience

We have been offering quality service since 1997 in the landscaping and grading field. We have employed as many a 16 employees who are all honest and dependable. We do all of our jobs as if we were working for ourselves and our property.

"Stay away from Blake Landscaping unless you want your money stolen! We entered into a contract with Blake Landscaping on July 30th, 2021 stating that once the initial $2000 payment was received, he would begin work. Per the bank records, he received the first payment on August 9th, 9 days later. Blake Landscaping did not show up on site for work or reach out to us via email or phone for the following 5 weeks. At this time Blake Landscaping had received a total of $4000 from us, and I had to make a call to Blake Landscaping to find out where they have been and why they haven’t shown up on site. Over the next 4 months, we had to call multiple times to which Blake Landscaping kept coming up with excuses to why they didn’t show up. We sent an email to Blake Landscaping saying that we no longer needed their services and requesting a full refund of our money. We didn’t hear anything back in return, so in October we sent a letter requesting a refund again. We never received a response from him, so over the next couple of months we called him 3 times. The 3 times we were able to make contact with him, his response was “the check was in the mail, you should already have it. I will check and call you back”. He never responded and we ended up taking him to Small Claims Court, to which he never showed up. The judge found in our favor and we are still in the process of trying to collect our funds."

We are a full service General Contractor but we also offer many small services to help you with any needs. We do all kinds of new construction from residential to commercial and also offer many maintenance choices from your yard to your roof.

"Communication was great. The house is tall and on a hill. We talked to 3 different companies about doing the work. One company chose not to do it because the house is tall and sits on a hill. Of the other two companies, Total Construction had the best estimate and the people were so nice. I'm so glad they came out to do the work. Each day they cleaned up behind themselves and made it easy for my family to live in the home even though the work was being done. Everything looks so nice now. I know some of my neighbors will be using this company now because they loved watching the work & the outcome!! Great Company!!! Highly recommended!!"

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

If you have a lot of trees around your home, mulching all those leaves can smother the lawn. Air and light won't reach the grass and soil if too many leaves have been mulched. Turf grass and other lawn problems can arise if the weather is too wet and excessive leaves have been mulched.

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.

Keeping your gravel driveway beautiful—or any gravel structure for that matter—does call for regular maintenance. You may occasionally need to add more gravel to low areas if you notice any pooling after rainfall. Gravel might also become excessively dusty over time. You can compact it with a mechanical compactor, which you can rent for around $80 to $85 per day.

To minimize maintenance requirements for your gravel, it’s important to ensure your land is properly graded before installing the gravel. It’s also helpful to lay landscaping fabric beforehand to keep it in place.

Yes, you need to add topsoil before you hydroseed to ensure the roots can grow deep. You should cultivate and add compost or amendments to your soil before hydroseeding for optimal growth. Without topsoil, your hydroseed might not take root, leading to wasted effort and money down the drain. Soil preparation is key to the success of DIY hydroseeding.

Yes, a cubic yard of dirt will fit in most standard-size pickup trucks. However, consider the truck’s payload as well as the truck bed dimensions before loading it up with dirt. Soil can be quite heavy, and if the total weight of a yard of dirt exceeds your truck’s payload capacity, you risk damaging the chassis and suspension.
