Brandon and his crew arrived in the afternoon on 3/7/2016 as planned and they prepared the area for resodding. They placed fresh topsoil and tilled the area and laid the sod and then rolled as described and cleaned everything up great. Looked like no one had been there except we now had grass where before we had dirt. I am extremely happy and would highly recommend them to anyone.

They scheduled me about three weeks out since apparently they are very busy. Once the day came, the people showed up exactly when they said they'd be there and quickly got to work. They wasted no time and worked very hard and efficiently. The "tune up" took about 5 minutes of time. They ran the different zones, marked where the broken heads were, and adjusted the spray of each head that was working. I asked for them to fix the heads, since I had quite a few that had problems, and they graciously obliged. Unfortunately, fixing the heads, a pipe issue, and relocating a sprinkler a bit further away, all of which took about an hour, bumped my price from $69 to about $400. That's fine. I thought it was fair if my sprinkler system was working appropriately. They ran the system one last time and left. Well, the next time I ran the system, one of the heads that was "fixed" cracked at the riser and washed away a bunch of mulch. I contacted the company and was told that I needed a pressure regulator and that it would be an extra $200. This seemed unreasonable since I had already spent so much money to get my system working. I replaced the riser myself with a dollar part from Home Depot, one that is higher quality than what they were using, and the issue is fine now. After talking to another sprinkler system company they said that the "cut off" risers that they use are notoriously known to have problems and to avoid them if at all possible. When an alternate dollar part fixed my issue, I can't trust the company when their solution was a $200 fix.

I have told Vic, that I will pay him to drive from Texas to New Jersey to help me landscape my 2nd home. He asked me to take photos of my 2nd home, send them to him, and he will send computerized pictures back to me with ideas on ways to enhance my home without him being there. How many people do you know that will do that for you? This man was a diamond that I found in the rough.

Be aware that they make no effort to save plants in the way or put dirt back into the holes they dig in the manner it was removed. The good topsoil was put in the bottoms of the holes, and the gummy clay went in last.

We called the company that the tree farm recommended, Chippers Tree Service, and based upon our measurements they gave an immediate quote over the phone that was significantly less expensive than the company we used last year, so we asked to book an appointment and were pleasantly surprised that they were able to come in just a few days. They called Texas811 and made all of the arrangements for the utilities to be marked. They arrived promptly (early in the time frame) on the appointed day and the work was done quickly and efficiently. The crewman asked us to come inspect the hole before he filled it up and he honored our request to loosely fill in the hole (with the dirt, but not the mulch) for safety until the tree company arrives to plant the tree in a couple of weeks since it is near a sidewalk where kids walk to school. I was very comfortable with the crewman and the work was done very well at a great price. We hope we won't lose anymore trees, but if it happens we will definitely use Chippers again.

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts
If you have a steep driveway, angular gravel, which is 3/4 to 2 inches in length, is a great choice. The stones won’t slide, allow for proper drainage, and stay in place even on the steepest slope.
Yes, mulch can attract pests. Spiders, centipedes, and ants are some common pests that are attracted to mulch. You can avoid infestation by laying your bags of mulch in the heat for a few hours or by using an inorganic mulch, as it’s less attractive to pests.
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.
You should add 1 to 4 inches of mulch, depending on your garden type and needs. Keep in mind that no amount of mulch can completely prevent weeds, but a heavier coverage (closer to 4 inches) can suppress weeds enough that you are only seeing them sprout every few weeks. Finer mulch prevents weeds more effectively than large mulch, so if you’re using mulched leaves or shredded bark, 1 to 2 inches will likely suffice, while 3 to 4 inches is best for larger mulch, like bark chips or straw.
Buying topsoil in bulk or a bag depends on how much area you’re trying to cover. Even if it goes on sale, bagged topsoil isn’t as cheap as buying it in bulk, but transporting bulk topsoil can become cumbersome if you don’t have the proper truck. If you can find an easy delivery option and have the space to store a large amount of topsoil, buying in bulk will give you more bang for your buck.
