"At the end of the project it was noticed that some of the stonework needed repair. Henry asked to be paid in full in spite of that , saying he would come back in the fall to address the issues. Since it took 2 years to complete this project we trusted that Henry would keep his word. I have called him but got no response.

"Jeff at Nova was great to work with. He listened to what I wanted, provided feedback, and together we agreed on a plan. His quote was clear and complete and while it was not the cheapest, it was reasonable for the work. He proactively provided his insurance coverage which I found very professional. While we did have a few hiccups (equipment delay) during the project, Jeff kept me informed and was present on the job site. He and his team completed the work in a reasonable time and left the site clean and fresh. My wife and I are both very happy with outcome."

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

Pea gravel consists of many small, rounded stones that, unsurprisingly, kind of resemble peas. They range in size from 1/8 to 3/8 of an inch. Higher-end products might be a little more uniform and have fewer jagged rocks in the mix.

When you purchase mulch for delivery, it’s usually by the cubic yard, so you’ll want to convert your space to cubic yards to get the right amount. First, determine the square footage of the area you want to cover, and then determine how deep the bed of mulch will be—a good rule of thumb is around three inches. Multiply your square footage in feet by the depth in inches and divide by 324. You may want to add a ½ to one additional cubic yard to ensure you have enough.

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.

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.

Buying topsoil in bulk or a bag depends on how much area you’re trying to cover. Even if it goes on sale, bagged topsoil isn’t as cheap as buying it in bulk, but transporting bulk topsoil can become cumbersome if you don’t have the proper truck. If you can find an easy delivery option and have the space to store a large amount of topsoil, buying in bulk will give you more bang for your buck.
