"First of all, I am pleased with the excavation of the five total shrubs that I needed removed from the front and rear of my home and I really like the alberta spruce trees and phenomenal lavender plant, which I am hoping will thrive in the coming years. The laying of black mulch was also done well. Unfortunately, at this time I still have a number of barren spots on my lawn where grass seed was planted but never sprouted, and, it appears that no aeration was ever performed prior to laying the seed in these areas. Also, there were an awful lot of large dirt clumps left immediately after the work was finished, but I figured this was normal, as I had every reason to believe that the landscaping work was being performed by experts who knew exactly what they were doing, and the company had received many good reviews. A lot of these clumps remain and this coupled with the lack of grass makes the lawn appear that much more unattractive. Regarding topsoil application, I did not notice any new topsoil applied to the areas where most of the grass seed was planted, as the ground did not appear to be any darker, it only appeared as though the soil already in place had been turned over, hence the clumps. In the rear of the property, it appeared as though the grass seed was dropped but that nothing was done to prepare the ground beforehand. I may be incorrect, but that is how it appeared to me, and how it appears to this day. I had also arranged to have pre-emergent weed control performed but no weed removal or control of any kind was performed and unfortunately they have grown more wild since the work by JRS was performed. Additionally, there appears to be a lot of grass growing through the mulch that was placed in the circle surrounding the tree in my front yard, possibly due to grass seed dropped in that area prior to the mulch being put down, which does not look good at all. As a Board member of my condominium development, and as a homeowner, I would like very much to be able to refer JRS as a landscaping company to other homeowners and to developments that contact us for reviews. Sadly, however, I cannot in good faith do this, given the substandard work performed on my landscape on Thursday July 26, 2018. I also take issue with the unprofessional lack of regular, basic communication or responses to phone calls over the past few months. Apparently, the owner of JRS does not stand by his company's work, because despite the fact that I have communicated all of these concerns to him, he has made no move to rectify any of this and, sadly, more often than not the company does not respond to follow-up inquiries, either by phone or email. I paid over $1,400 for landscaping work that should have been a mere fraction of that price, given what was actually done correctly. I would highly discourage anyone from hiring JRS Landscaping, LLC."

"It went very well. They did a real good job finding and repairing leaks in my roof, replacing defective gutters and downspouts. They then did a project to add drainage pipes front and rear. Reshaped the land and brought in topsoil to ensure that water runs away from the house instead of into it. I am very pleased and am hiring them to do additional projects. They are courteous, prompt and stand behind their work."

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

Yes, but lightweight furniture may be unstable due to the loose, shifting nature of pea gravel. Heavier furniture with wide legs or a sturdy base works best since it distributes weight more evenly and prevents sinking. To improve stability, you can compact the gravel more in seating areas or place furniture on top of a stabilizing mat or paver stones.

A yard of crushed concrete costs between $20 and $50. A single-car driveway will need 1.5 to 2.5 yards of crushed concrete, putting your material costs between $30 and $125, which is much less than you’ll pay for most driveway paving methods. Your total could vary based on the thickness you’re going for, and, of course, total prices will increase with added square footage for driveways that fit multiple cars.

Yes, weeds can still grow in decomposed granite. If properly compacted, it can act as a good weed suppressant, meaning you’ll only pull weeds occasionally. But no ground cover is completely weed-proof. To further prevent weeds, you can try spraying your decomposed granite with distilled white vinegar.

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’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.

There are a few factors to consider when choosing the right size river rock for a landscaping project. First, think about how you’ll use the rocks. For example, if you’re installing them as part of a water feature, medium-sized stones (ranging between 2 and 5 inches) often work best. Smaller rocks (from 1 and 3 inches) are better for walkways and pathways, while a mix of medium and large stones (between 3 and 8 inches) is ideal for garden beds.
