"They came while I was at work, so I havenâ t met anyone, but Dustin texted and sent pictures. They cleaned all of the leaves and other tree debris from our yard and gutters, trimmed back some shrubs and removed one that has outgrown its spot. My wife and I were quite pleased. Weâ ve just moved into this new home, and weâ ve got many chores yet to do. Sharp Edge really helped us out. They even did a bit more than we asked for. Iâ ll definitely call them again. I believe they earned their money, and I believe the cost was fair."

"Issac did an amazing job on our yard. He was able to aerate it to plant new grass and mowed bi weekly or whenever needed. He was able to pull up unwanted bushes and haul them off. He also got rid of weeds and mainted them in the flower beds, as well as trimming and shaping any small trees and hedges. We also used them to pick up and spread mulch. This team is very reliable and goes above and beyond to listen and understand the needs and wants of client!"

Customers say: True professional

"Rowan Valley Lawn and Landscape is OUTSTANDING!! Grant was awesome to work with! Friendly, courteous, quick and efficient, professional with excellent communication skills, and truly went above and beyond with work done on a rental property that, sadly, seems to have not been well cared for in quite some time. He took a jungle and turned it back into a yard! There's simply no way to express the level of praise that both Grant and Rowan Valley Lawn and Landscape deserve for the job they did! Absolutely recommend to anyone and everyone who's looking to have a great experience working with a Lawn and Landscape company!"

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

A light layer of mulch can help protect a tree, retain moisture, and keep the soil healthy. However, it’s important to avoid over-mulching or piling the mulch up around the trunk of a tree, a practice notoriously called “volcano mulching.” That piled mulch can increase the chances of rot and disease on the tree trunk as well as overwhelming the soil, which needs access to a certain amount of air. Topped trees have it hard enough: mulch sparingly while they heal.

Nonorganic mulch, like river rocks, pebbles, or lava rock, technically lasts the longest. It helps with moisture retention and weed control but doesn’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’t provide as many nutrients as quickly as the faster decomposing types.

If you have a large area of brush and vegetation to clear, forestry mulching may be the best option. This method works well for relatively flat areas that don’t have many large rocks or mature trees to clear. Forestry mulching is a relatively quick process that improves soil health, reduces fire risk, and leaves behind usable mulch.

A good gravel driveway should be built in layers using different sizes of gravel. A solid base layer of larger crushed stone (around 1 to 6 inches in diameter) provides stability and helps with drainage. Some recommend a middle layer of medium-sized gravel (2 to 3 inches). For the top driving surface, smaller gravel is best. A common recommendation is to use gravel between 1/4 inch and 1 inch in diameter, as it compacts well to create an even surface that's easy to drive on. Avoid stones that are too large, flat, or round to ensure the best traction. Using different layers ensures the driveway is durable, drains properly, and doesn't shift over time.

Pea gravel comes in a variety of colors, including cream, white, black, gray, and brown being some of the most popular choices for homeowners. You can also find red, yellow, green, and even multicolor options for your landscaping needs. The price of pea gravel is about $350 for the typical home improvement project.
