"Keegan showed up for the initial view and listened to what I was looking for. Provided estimate in couple of days and we agreed upon the job. I wanted a flowerbed with plants that didn't require much tending, also a minimalistic look. The only requirement was to save some irises that my mom planted for me. Keegan and his associate Eddie cleaned up everything and prepared the flower bed for planting. They brought exactly what I wanted, various colorful grasses and lavender plants. They also restored two containers that were overgrown with weeds and when they cleaned them up, they planted bright yellow mums in them. They now rim the path to the house and make a marvelous point of entrance. Keegan also asked if I wanted a mulch or small pebble cover. I was intrigued by that as it brought to mind a Japanese simple gravel gardens and I agreed. The guys finished (took them two days for everything) and the front of the house looks marvelous now. They also cleaned up the small trees and the wild bush and bagged everything in recyclable paper bags. I found both men very friendly, kind and respectful. As a lone woman dealing with everything on my own, I felt very comfortable with both of them and I would recommend their services, especially to lone women who need this kind of help and are concerned about being taken advantage of. There is no fear of that happening."

"Chris and his team did a phenomenal job giving the exterior of my yard a total revamp. Chris was extremely thorough about the whole process. He was a pleasure to work with. I had pavers installed as a walkway, they designed and built my front porch, with flowers, stone and mulch all intertwined in a complete landscaping job. I couldn t be happier. Thank you Chris and your team for your services. I look forward to the upkeep of you maintaining my yard."

"Matt is the best. I hired him after having several bad experiences with other vendors in Orange County and my experience with Hoctor Home Improvements was the total opposite. Matt cared for my lawn for two summers. I just moved to a new home and already informed him that I would like to use his services there as well. Great work, very pleasant. You won't be disappointed."

"Tyler was the first one to call me back out of maybe 10 contractors. I got a vibe right off the bat that he was a good guy. Got all the pricing and delivery address out of the way, and he delivered exactly what I needed within hours of the call. He dropped it exactly where we needed it. It was a great experience with Tyler, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing this type of service. Quick, accurate, and it is hard these days to get someone who is easy to work with, and comes through when he says he will."

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, you need to add topsoil before you hydroseed to ensure the roots can grow deep. You should cultivate and add compost or amendments to your soil before hydroseeding for optimal growth. Without topsoil, your hydroseed might not take root, leading to wasted effort and money down the drain. Soil preparation is key to the success of DIY hydroseeding.

In most cases, it’s better to remove rocks before adding mulch. Layering the two will restrict drainage and plant health, and can create an unpleasant texture underfoot.

Gravel driveways require regular maintenance because the material can shift over time. Routine tasks include raking the gravel to ensure an even layer, filling in ruts or low spots, and removing debris, especially after storms. You should also add fresh gravel as needed to prevent potholes, remove weeds by hand or with an herbicide, and occasionally spray the driveway with water to reduce dust.

Periodically, you may need to grade and level the entire driveway, which is often done every few years. Any refilled potholes should be compacted; for excessive dust, you can use a mechanical compactor. To minimize future maintenance, ensure the land is properly graded before installation and consider laying down landscaping fabric to help keep the gravel in place. In areas with heavy rain, reinforcing the edges can help prevent erosion. Additionally, it's best to avoid using a snowplow on a gravel driveway during the winter.

Mulch can increase the aesthetic and curb appeal of your property, and it provides a ton of benefits for your trees, shrubs, and even your foundation. Here are some of the benefits of installing mulch:

  • Protects your trees from weed whacker strikes

  • Helps regulate moisture in the soil for better plant and tree health

  • Can improve your home’s curb appeal and, therefore, your property value

  • Reduces how much runoff soaks into the soil around your foundation, potentially reducing the risk of foundation damage and leaking
