"I had an increasing water problem in my basement when it rained. Kevin came to look at the situation very promptly and assessed the problem . He was very good about making sure I understood my options and costs up front. He walked me through every step and reviewed the work once completed. I am very happy with the professionalism and excellent work of Kevin and his workers. I am happy to recommend this service. Kevin went above and beyond when they had thrown out a rock-yup, a rock-that was my mother's - he went and retrieved it! Amazing sensitivity."

"I have an old house built in 1880. Not sure when the bathroom was last updated but needless to say there were many surprises in the project but Joseph, Paul and Crystal (and of course all the other individuals that assisted) handle these with professionalism and were always kind, honest and pleasant to work with. They went above and WAYYY beyond my expectations of a contractor. I will most definitely use them again….of course after I save up for the next project. Lol. You will not be disappointed when you use this company/individuals. I had them in and out of my home for about 3 months and felt confident that there was nothing to worry about and when they left every day my house was left better than they found it. SUPERB!!!"

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

It is generally not recommended to put topsoil over new grass seed. A thick layer can suffocate the seedlings by preventing sunlight, water, and oxygen from reaching them. The seeds only need about a quarter-inch of soil for protection. If you want to protect the seeds, a better alternative is to apply a thin layer of organic matter, such as straw mulch or hay.

Yes, you can lay pea gravel directly on the dirt. First, dig a trench 2 to 6 inches deep the length and width of the area you want to cover. Plants and weeds will eventually grow through the pea gravel if you don’t lay down landscaping cloth.

Since you’ll likely be digging a trench to install your yard drainage system, this is a good time to complete other tasks that involve digging up your yard, including: Sprinkler system installation Lawn reseeding Regrading your yard Redesigning your landscaping If your drain is under a walkway or driveway, your contractor must also remove those materials. This is a great time to consider upgrading your hardscaping features, especially if they’re nearing the end of their life span.

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.

Depending on the size of the river rock and the density of your soil, add woven landscape fabric or sand under river rock. The extra layer will ensure your river rock sits evenly and doesn't create puddles or uneven areas throughout the design. In some cases, nothing is necessary beneath river rock, but be sure to speak with a landscaper to keep your landscaping looking sharp.
