"We needed to connect our patio to our deck stairs and lower concrete patio. We also had a steep slope we needed a stair-type solution to. Jake came out and went over the details with us. We decided to replace the current square concrete block patio under the pergola with a round paver patio that connected everything. Jake also recommended a large natural stone block stair to deal with the slope. After getting the estimate we were pleased and went ahead and paid the half up-front to get it on the books. They were able to start only a couple months later and spent a good week working on the project. The old patio was torn down and the blocks carefully stacked. Yard damage was minimized and a very nice patio and path was built. The initial stairs connecting to the concrete patio wasn't exactly what we wanted, and Jake had it rebuilt with no complaints and no additional cost. We are extremely pleased with how everything turned-out, and would definitely recommend them."

Perfection Lawns is a family-owned local business. You can know that you will always be work with the same person. With Perfection Lawns, you are not an address; we know our clients by name.

"I had Perfection for 3 years. They were okay, had some concerns. The only time my lawn was done mostly right was when the owner cut my lawn. I got a phone message saying that they were over whelmed with business, and they were dropping me from their schedule. I am retired and couldn't afford every week, they were cutting every 2 week, only last year. So, since I couldn't afford every week, they dropped me. They are SUPPOSEDLY a very religious family. Who would do that? I hate they did that, I thought they were good people, but apparently I wasn't worth it to them."

"Guyton showed up with all the right equipment and a well trained, courteous staff. They took down a very large maple tree behind our garage and trimmed a couple of trees. They did an awesome job - really knew what they were doing, and really cleaned up when they were done. We will definitely hire them again."

Cost is determined by the job. No travel charges. No service charges. No extra charge for after hours service. Trim and remove trees stump grinding storm damage clean up

"Be cautious about hiring Steve and Angie unless you have time and energy to watch over every detail of the work. Their attention to detail and follow up is lacking. Initial contact and design was great, and we LOVE the look we ended up with. The crew who came to do the work, worked hard. BUT - Not all the existing plant material was removed and came up in the spring and I had to dig it up; The area was not leveled well; The stepping stones were not installed level and now I am going to have to fix it. I did start contacting them weeks after the job, and now 7 months after the completion a crew returned, but left not completing the job. I cannot recommend Greentree Specialists - though again i like the owners, and the look we ended up with is lovely. For the money, I expected a more detail and finished product."

"I had a great experience and I am very pleased with the outcome. Matt has been very consultative and asks questions to best understand my needs and expectations, and work within my budget. The crew did a nice job removing old plants and trees, installing new ones, and mulching. I will be using them again for additional phases of my landscaping refresh project. Thumbs up!"

"I ordered bulk Top Soil from Ohio Mulch based on the pictures and description of top soil on their website. When they delivered it, I noticed immediately that it did not look correct, in fact it looked almost exactly like the mulch that I also ordered from them. I took pictures of the "mulch soil" that they delivered and to date, I have called Ohio Mulch 6 times, reaching a person on 4 occasions. On every call, their customer service rep told me that they would escalate my problem to a manager and never once did I get a return phone call. They train their employees to respond to this issue as it must be a common complaint as they all said "Ohio Mulch top soil looks a lot like our mulch due to its premium blend". The fact is it looks nothing like their pictures on the Ohio Mulch website and I have been working with mulch and soil for over 50 years now and can assure you that the Ohio Mulch "top soil" was not even a member of the dirt family. Their product is bad and their customer service is worse. Please beware of Ohio Mulch bait and switch and I encourage you to go elsewhere for top soil."

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

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.

Durable materials suited for climate include aluminum for coastal areas or composite wood in varying environments for durability and minimal upkeep.

There are a few ways you can reduce the cost of mulch delivery, including the following:

  • Place your order in the winter months for spring delivery

  • Choose a more affordable mulch color

  • Opt for a more affordable type of mulch

  • Place larger orders to get a lower cost per cubic foot

  • Opt to lay your own mulch to save on installation costs

  • Add on other delivery or landscaping services to save on travel costs

  • Prepare a single delivery site in the front of your property, and use a wheelbarrow to move smaller quantities 

Wood from black walnut, magnolia, eucalyptus, red maple, and invasive species like tree of heaven are not recommended for mulching. These trees release allelochemicals that can suppress plant growth. Some homeowners, however, use wood from these trees for mulching if it is less potent due to age or concentration, or if the plants are not as sensitive to them.

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.
