"Was supposed to do bi-weekly mowing after clean up. Spring Clean up was good But they came back before 2 weeks to do a mowing. They said they would contact me before coming no call no text. The grass had not even started to grow yet. No advanced warning. I had it in writing that it was to be Bi-weekly and start when I gave go-ahead. I felt ignored and complete lack of communication after the spring cleanup. They basically took the money and ran in my book."

"I am very happy with the work Marvin and his assistant did on my property. My lawn mower broke down and my property was looking miserable. He had surveyed the work and I also sent him pictures prior to working and the work was completed beautifully. Marvin really aims to please and works well with his assistant. Since then I have hired his landscaping company to mow my lawn weekly. Marvin and his assistant are very kind and patient. I would definitely hire Marvin Landscaping to make your yard your favorite yard because mine has become my favorite yard. I wish I could post the then and now pics but it only takes a max file of 5MB. I wanted to show how Marvin turned 2 creepy large and tall bushes and shaped them beautifully. And his assistant did a wonderful job lawn mowing and blowing the .5 acres clean. And I must add its not easy due to uneven land and some hills."

"Wilson and team repointed my patio, taking the time to power-wash under the bricks and get everything perfectly level. Wilson explained every step and the guys were in and out in two days. I asked for a quirky repair on one missing face brick and they gave me just what I wanted. Would hire again."

Mulch and Topsoil FAQs, answered by experts

If you have a large area of brush and vegetation to clear, forestry mulching may be the best option. This method works well for relatively flat areas that don’t have many large rocks or mature trees to clear. Forestry mulching is a relatively quick process that improves soil health, reduces fire risk, and leaves behind usable mulch.

Beyond landscaping, limestone has multiple uses. For example, there are multiple pros and cons to limestone countertops, such as a lower cost compared to other types of stone and heat resistance. Limestone is also a key ingredient in limewash, a type of paint with a chalky texture. Other uses for limestone include siding, retaining walls, and mixed into cement.

If you like the look of mulch in your plant beds, be aware that it can attract a variety of pests, including termites. To avoid wood-to-foundation contact, leave a one-foot barrier around your house and fill it in with rocks or gravel, starting mulch past that barrier and working it outward into your plant beds. 

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.

If you are xeriscaping a lawn from scratch, your best bet for preparing the lawn is to work with a xeriscaping specialist in your area. The most common first step to making the transformation, however, will be to remove the turfgrass from your lawn. The subsequent steps will often include amending the soil to support new plants and installing low-drip or drip irrigation systems.
