Family owned & operated since 1949. Many home services offered, Pest Control, Air Conditioning, Plumbing, Appliance Repair, and Lawn Care, just to name a few.

"We recently had the pleasure of working with Alvin and Nathan on a complete overhaul of our irrigation system, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results. From start to finish, they demonstrated outstanding professionalism, technical expertise, and a strong attention to detail. They took the time to assess our existing system thoroughly, explained their plan clearly, and were incredibly responsive to our questions throughout the process. The new system they installed is not only more efficient but also much easier to manage, saving us both time and water. Their work was neat, timely, and well-coordinated, and they made sure everything was working perfectly before wrapping up. It's rare to find a team that combines skill with such great customer service. We highly recommend Alvin and Nathan for anyone needing irrigation work—they truly went above and beyond."

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

Mulching any time of year can attract termites, so there’s no added risk in the fall. The important thing to remember is that termites are attracted to rotting wood, so you need to lay a thin enough layer that won’t trap too much moisture and lead to rotting. A layer between 1 and 4 inches thick should provide all the benefits you’re looking for without attracting termites.

While they’re popular and have a lot of pros, the cons of river rocks include the following:

  • River rocks don’t break down or provide nutrients to plants. 

  • These stones can get hot and scorch nearby plants. 

  • River stones may heat the surrounding soil to inhospitable temperatures. 

  • Rocks can block rainwater from seeping into the ground if installations are too thick or tightly packed.

Most downsides occur when using river rock as mulch in gardens and flower beds. However, you can still incorporate river rocks into your landscape as long as you use them in the correct ways.

Ensure clear delivery pathways, remove obstacles, and prepare to cover surfaces to protect landscaping areas. Coordinating with the provider for an estimated arrival prepares punctuality.

The number of bags of topsoil you need depends on the depth you’re filling. The average topsoil is sold in a roughly forty-pound bag, covering 12 square feet at a one-inch depth. Since topsoil is by nature the uppermost layer of soil, you can bet on only needing to fill about 4 to 8 inches of soil depth with it.

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.
