What do you put under artificial grass?

• <div><p>You need to put shock-absorbent material under artificial grass. While it will depend on where exactly you’re placing artificial grass, there are a few different options you could use such as silica sand, granite sand, astro-cushion, weed membrane, and geo-textile paper.</p></div>

What should I consider when hydroseeding?

• <div><p>Timing is key when determining the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-tips-seeding-your-lawn.htm">best time to hydroseed your lawn</a>. It’s best to hydroseed in the spring or fall due to the already wet conditions of your lawn and the more mild temperatures. </p><p>Your local pro will also offer watering and fertilizer instructions for the months after your application. Make sure you will be available to water it consistently, especially in the first two to three weeks for best results.</p></div>

Q: Which type of mulch lasts the longest?

• <div><p>Nonorganic mulch, like river rocks, pebbles, or lava rock, technically lasts the longest. It helps with moisture retention and weed control but doesn&rsquo;t break down and release nutrients like organic mulch. Wood mulch decomposes slowly, which can help it last longer than leaf or straw mulch, but it won&rsquo;t provide as many nutrients as quickly as the faster decomposing types.</p></div>

Q: Does pea gravel get hot?

• <div><p>Pea gravel can retain some heat, but it generally stays cooler than materials like concrete, asphalt, or stone pavers. Lighter-colored pea gravel reflects more sunlight and tends to stay cooler, while darker-colored gravel can absorb heat and become warmer to the touch. </p></div>

Q: How do I measure the amount of mulch I need?

• <div><p>The ideal amount of mulch is the square footage of your desired depth in inches divided by 324. Aim to keep your old and/or new mulch at a depth of no more than three or four inches.</p></div>

They are reliable. I would say they are timely. I don't have to call them to cut the grass. They just come and do it. When it snows, they are here to plow. They don't let too many leaves fall down before they come to rake.

They did an excellent job. I told them I'd recommend them to other people too. They came quicker than they said were going to and they came one day and did the weeding and then came two days later and laid the mulch down. It was comparable to what we had done a couple of years ago. It was less...
