"Garrett and Wil and their crew did an excellent job. We had a stone patio installed along with steps and a dry creek-bed drain. We were very happy with their work. They are very friendly, courteous and professional and they worked very hard to complete the task promptly, despite some poor weather days. They were careful to cleanup afterwards and left our yard looking better than when they arrived. The cost was in line with their estimate and we would highly recommend them to anyone needing stone-scape or landscape work."

General Maintenance Business

"Cory Harrison installed my bamboo flooring, but he did not allow enough room in his cuts to allow the flooring to expand properly with changes in humidity; therefore, the floors have buckled in numerous places. It buckled so badly in front of my front door that I could no longer use the front door and I had to remove it, saw it down and reinstall the door. He also removed my old dishwasher and did not close the pipe that ran from my kitchen sink to the dishwasher, so water leaked all over my kitchen floor. Cory consistently was difficult to get a hold of and to schedule work with; when I finally told him my concerns about his lack of communication and delays on the work he had been contracted to do, he told me to find someone else to fix my chimney, which is the main job that I needed done in the first place. He then told me that I needed to "give him a reason" and "convince him to come" out to do the work that he had been hired to do. Cory was paid in full for the work he did for me, although the work was deficient to say the least. He is not someone that I would recommend to anyone, particularly a woman."

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

While you can put gravel directly on dirt, it won’t be very stable. It also won’t block out any weeds. Most experts recommend layering weed barrier and a layer of packed sand or other foundation material to prevent the gravel from sinking into the earth and being overtaken by weeds.

If your mulch delivery company or landscaper installs mulch around multiple spots in your yard (especially if they are more complex areas), feel free to tip up to $15 a person. However, there's no need to tip for a standard mulch drop done in your driveway or on a tarp.

Using sand under stepping stones can be beneficial in certain situations. Sand can help level the ground and provide stability for the stepping stones, especially if the ground is uneven. It also allows for minor adjustments during the installation process. However, sand may not be the best choice for all environments. In areas with high foot traffic or heavy rain, sand may wash away or become displaced, leading to an uneven surface. In such cases, a more stable base material like gravel or crushed stone is preferable. Consider your specific landscape conditions before deciding whether to use sand under stepping stones.

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.

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.
