"We first hired Ian to trim a few trees for us. He did such a great job, we had him come back out several other times last year for tree removal and additional tree trimming. We already have him booked to come back this spring. In addition to doing a great job, Ian and his crew are so pleasurable to work with and you can’t beat his prices. Highly recommend!!"

I pride myself on getting a job done as quickly as possible, while still providing quality work. I have recently gone into business for myself, but prior to that, I have ten years of experience as a handyman and twelve as a gardener. Most of my work is charged per job rather than by the hour, but harder jobs may require an hourly rate, to be determined by the difficulty of the job.

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

Pea gravel is the most common type of gravel, and it can be made of limestone, granite, basalt, sandstone, and many other types of rock. The strength in gravel comes from the distribution across the stones, so while one rock type may not be particularly strong (like sandstone), the matrix of small rocks that is gravel can become incredibly strong when installed correctly. 

A 50-pound bag of pea gravel equals approximately one-half of a cubic foot. That amount will cover a three-square-foot area to a depth of about two inches. A three-square-foot area with equal-length sides is approximately 1.73 feet by 1.73 feet, or about 20.75 inches on each side.

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.

The best time to lay mulch depends on the type of mulch and the reason for installing it: 

  • Summer: Adding extra mulch helps soil retain moisture and keeps weeds at bay, allowing plants to thrive. 

  • Fall: Adding mulch helps control weeds and keeps soil and roots warm during the cooler months. Aim to add a layer of mulch 2 to 4 inches deep.

  • Winter: Mulch around perennial plants to help keep them insulated.

  • Spring: Wait until the ground has thawed. Depending on the thickness, add between 1 and 4 inches of mulch to provide freeze and rain protection and enrich the soil.

Yes, grounds count when calculating box fill. A single volume allowance is made when up to four equipment grounding conductors or equipment bonding jumpers enter the box. It’s important to account for all wires and fittings when calculating box fill. Beyond the first four, each additional grounding conductor should be counted as ¼ volume.
