How do I keep dirt around my foundation?

• <div><p>The best way to keep dirt around your foundation is to ensure your drainage is working properly and redirecting water well away from the foundation. Soil erosion is one of the most common <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/causes-and-costs-flooded-basement.htm">causes of basement flooding</a>, so it’s important to make sure you’re retaining the soil you replaced after learning how to regrade around the foundation. In addition, your foundation planting can also help prevent erosion. For example, plant roots to help keep soil in place.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain a gravel driveway?

• <div><p>Regular maintenance involves raking or leveling out any displaced gravel, filling in low spots, and adding fresh gravel as needed to help prevent potholes and ruts. If you live in an area with heavy rain, checking the drainage and reinforcing the edges periodically can help prevent erosion.</p></div>

Q: Does mulch attract pests?

• <div><p>Yes, mulch can attract pests. Spiders, centipedes, and ants are some common pests that are attracted to mulch. You can avoid infestation by laying your bags of mulch in the heat for a few hours or by using an inorganic mulch, as it&rsquo;s less attractive to pests.</p></div>

Q: How do I store excess landscaping materials properly?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Do you need to compact crushed stone or gravel?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re using crushed stone or gravel as a base material, then yes, you should compact it to prevent movement of the top layers. For instance, if you don&rsquo;t compact crushed stone or gravel and you lay pavers on top of them, the pavers will shift over time. However, if you&rsquo;re using gravel or crushed stone as a top layer for aesthetic purposes, you might not want to compact the materials.</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,...
