Q: Does organic mulch prevent weeds?

• <div><p>Yes. One of the main benefits of organic mulch is weed prevention. Organic mulch forms a physical barrier that blocks light and stops weeds from germinating. It can reduce your need to weed and improve the physical appearance of your garden.</p></div>

Q: What factors affect pickup costs?

• <div><p>Costs depend on waste volume, service frequency, and additional options like bulk pickups.</p></div>

Q: How much mulch do you need to prevent weeds?

• <div><p>You should add 1 to 4 inches of mulch, depending on your garden type and needs. Keep in mind that no amount of mulch can completely prevent weeds, but a heavier coverage (closer to 4 inches) can suppress weeds enough that you are only seeing them sprout every few weeks. Finer mulch prevents weeds more effectively than large mulch, so if you&rsquo;re using mulched leaves or shredded bark, 1 to 2 inches will likely suffice, while 3 to 4 inches is best for larger mulch, like bark chips or straw.</p></div>

Q: What type of fertilizer should I use in my garden beds?

• <div><p>As a base, you should use a fertilizer with a 5-5-5 NPK ratio (5% nitrogen, 5% phosphorus, and 5% potassium). You may need a different ratio depending on what your soil is lacking, but a soil test can help determine the perfect amount.</p></div>

Q: What is gravel made of?

• <div><p>Pea gravel is the most common <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/crushed-stone-vs-gravel.htm">type of gravel</a>, and it can be made of limestone, granite, basalt, sandstone, and many other types of rock. The strength in gravel comes from the distribution across the stones, so while one rock type may not be particularly strong (like sandstone), the matrix of small rocks that is gravel can become incredibly strong when installed correctly. </p><p> </p></div>

They were on time and removed our enormous tree in a timely manner. Very friendly. My only problem was that they left a mess in my neighbors yard and left a large amount of mulch. They said the mulch will sink down but that s way too much. They also used our garbage can and broke it.

We purchased our home partly because of the large back yard for our children to play in. Low and behold, we can never keep the grass green, there are constant weeds, our water bill is always in at least the mid $300 every two months. So we decided to re-do everything and just get pavers. We had...

They arrived late but we're very apologetic. The workers that arrived first did not speak English so I had to call Carlos to get details about the removal. They were willing to remove some extra trees that weren't in the initial work order for a decent price. However, at the end of a long day,...
