"I highly recommend Luis and Gladys. They responded right away to my inquiry and came to look at our project and provided a quote and set a date. They communicated clearly, arrived on time and did a very thorough job. They take a lot of pride in their work. We had 4 flower beds that were overgrown with grass and weeds and very hard to clear out, and they did a great job. We will definitely be calling them again!"
"Their work is impressive and I am beyond satisfied with the finished project. Initially, I didnâ t believe I would have many options for such a small yard, but Pancho (Francisco) had many ideas and was flexible to work within my budget to achieve my backyard oasis. He and his skilled team are professional, perfectionist, and the years of experience between all of them is evident in their stunning work. They always showed up when they said they would, were friendly and hardworking and cleaned up at the end of the day. They created a backyard sanctuary with beautiful sight lines all around. My friends and family are impressed and I canâ t thank FNT enough for the beautiful relaxing retreat I get to enjoy everyday. Thank you!"

"I will definitely call Crusher Landscaping again - for both large and small jobs! I stopped the two workers before they left and asked them to complete one more thing. They were very nice about it and took care of that one task right away. It is great to have a business simply help with yard clean up and trimming. We have been ignored by landscapers for small jobs, and this is a wonderful service when it is not a huge job. I will use Crusher for my big spring project."
"While at first it was hard to get in touch with them to set up an appointment, once we connected the appointment was set up quickly and the work was done very well. The workers were professional and polite and worked h****** the big jobs as well as the details others sometimes miss. "
"I needed a huge Willow tree trimmed that haad grown over the house, gutters, the neighbors yard and over the sidewalk in front of my house. They contacted me the same day and started the job the following day. Before they started the job, they evaluated the project with me and made sure we both agreed on how I wanted the job done and what they could do for me. Three men showed up, started the job and were done within 3 hours. They cleaned up the entire area of my front yard. I was very pleased with their work and their professionalism. Will definitely keep their contact info for future use."
Seal bags firmly for materials like soil or mulch, store unused parts in dry and cool spaces to prevent decay and use material visually formed covers for extended periods.
The best size river rock for your landscaping project depends on how you plan to use the stones. Generally, most river rocks used in landscaping are between 1/2 and 8 inches in diameter. For walkways and pathways, smaller rocks between 1 and 3 inches are suitable. For water features, medium-sized stones from 2 to 5 inches often work best. Garden beds can benefit from a mix of medium and large stones, ranging from 3 to 8 inches. These sizes can cover applications like decorative flower beds and drainage areas around foundations or retaining walls. For added visual interest, landscapers sometimes intersperse smaller river rocks with large boulders.
Small gravel is the better option since it creates a stable, even surface that’s easier on paws and hooves. Large gravel can be uncomfortable and may shift too much underfoot. So if you’re using gravel in pet or livestock areas, go for smooth, rounded small gravel to prevent injuries and discomfort.
Pea gravel is hands down a top pick for managing landscape drainage. These small stones allow water to flow through easily by creating natural gaps that promote runoff. Beyond functionality, pea gravel also offers visual versatility. Homeowners will find a range of earthy tones like gray, brown, blue, and even red, making it easy to match with different outdoor styles and plantings.
Rocks are less likely to attract snakes and other critters because their prey (termites, ticks, and other insects) don’t usually inhabit this environment. However, if you have placed together rocks with large spaces in between or near a source of water, you may find a snake or an occasional chipmunk seeking shelter.
