"First of all I would like to point out that Koby was very generous and respectful, something a lot of young adults lack, and spoke very well. The service was also great and my drive way, garage, siding, and windows were all crystal clear after a few hours of work. Definitely would recommend booking for multiple occasions."

24/7 Emergency clean-up Tree and stump removal Pruning elevating deadwooding complete clean up Spraying, treating and fertilize all plants bushes and trees Plant transplant mulch and also shape all flowers and bushes

"Trying to get my elderly parent's home ready for sale and I live out of state. Found this business on Angie's List and have always had good luck in using this service. I was told that several trees needed to be removed, which I was aware of. In the end one tree was removed but the initial issue was never addressed. I called and sent text message asking if he was coming back to finish up the work. Got no reply. I still have the initial issue to tend with so I feel like my elderly parents were taken advantage of."

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

Gravel’s biggest pro is its cost-effectiveness. For example, a gravel road or driveway is much more affordable than its asphalt counterpart. Gravel is also much less expensive than the cost of pouring a concrete slab if you’re building a patio or similar structure.

However, regarding comfort and convenience, gravel is far less foot-friendly than smoother substances like concrete or asphalt. It’s also more of a challenge to drive on and may kick up dust, resulting in the inevitable need for extra car washes. Lastly, there’s a chance it might move with rain or snow.

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’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.

Mulch is made from natural materials, which will break down and add nutrients to your soil for better plant and soil health, so removing old mulch is unnecessary before putting down new mulch. However, if you live in a particularly moist area, it’s possible that the old mulch will harbor fungus or mold, which can hurt plant health. If you notice these issues, you might want to consider removing the old mulch first. Otherwise, save time and money by placing new mulch right over the old mulch.

Yes, you can lay pea gravel directly on the dirt. First, dig a trench 2 to 6 inches deep the length and width of the area you want to cover. Plants and weeds will eventually grow through the pea gravel if you don’t lay down landscaping cloth.

Most experts recommend a quarter-inch layer of compost for best results, and you will need about .77 cubic yards of material per 1,000 square feet. To measure how much compost to use, take the square footage of your yard and multiply it by .77, then divide that number by 1,000.
