Q: What should you put underneath artificial grass?

• <div><p>Artificial turf usually requires some sort of base. If you&rsquo;re installing the grass over soil, you&rsquo;ll want to add a weed barrier (weeds can damage your fake grass) and an artificial grass sub-base . Typically, this is a mixture of gravel and sand, like crushed miscellaneous base (CMB) or decomposed granite. If you're placing turf over concrete, you can skip the sub base and use a padded underlayment.</p></div>

Q: How tall should mulch be around trees?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;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. </p></div>

Q: How much does 3 yards of river rock cost?

• <div><p>If you hire a professional landscaper, you could expect to pay between $90 and $660 to install three cubic yards of river rock. (That&rsquo;s based on the average river rock installation cost of $30 to $220 per cubic yard.) However, the exact price depends on the kind of river rock you choose. Crushed limestone and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-rip-rap.htm">riprap</a> are some of the more affordable options, while boulders and Arizona river rock are pricier.</p></div>

Q: What soil do you use for edible plants?

• <div><p>Generally, you want the soil for your edible plants to have good drainage, organic matter for nutrients, a loose texture (like loam soil), and a balanced pH level. However, the type of plants you're growing will dictate the exact characteristics your soil needs to thrive. For example, brussels sprout prefers more acidic soil, while broccoli prefers more alkaline soil. </p></div>

Q: How much dirt should be around your foundation?

• <div><p>The amount of soil you&rsquo;ll need around your foundation depends on a variety of factors, but in general, you want a 6-inch decline over the first 10 feet extending out from your foundation. How much soil it will take to achieve that will depend on the current grade of the yard, how much foundation is exposed, and the size of your home.</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.

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,...
