What is the least expensive way to keep grass from growing?

• <div><p>The least costly way to keep grass from growing is also the most labor-intensive: regular weeding. Pull out grass blades as you see them pop up through the soil in areas where they’re unwanted. Another cost-effective way to keep grass from growing is by spreading a thick layer of mulch on the area as this will suffocate the grass.</p></div>

Q: What are the most common types of gravel?

• <div><p>Among the most common types of gravel are pea gravel, crushed stone, marble chips, jersey shore gravel, and base gravel. Gravel has different densities depending on whether it&rsquo;s wet or dry or mixed with sand.</p></div>

Q: How do you calculate the amount of gravel needed for a driveway?

• <div><p>No one likes running out of materials during a project, so calculating the right amount of gravel needed for your driveway is an absolute must. Multiply your driveway&rsquo;s length by width by the depth of the gravel (in feet). For gravel depth, convert to a decimal (i.e., 4 inches is 0.33 feet). This will give you the cubic feet of material that you need. </p><p>If you&rsquo;re looking for cubic yards, divide that above number by 27.</p></div>

Q: How do you prepare an area for hardscaping?

• <div><p>Hardscaping often requires preparation of the ground in the area where the feature is being installed. This can include digging, compacting, and leveling the soil, ensuring adequate drainage, and removing any existing plants. The extent of preparation needed will depend on the type and size of the hardscaping feature being installed.</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>

I got home from an out-of-town trip, and this old tree (that had been leaning a bit) had apparently shifted due to wind and rainy conditions. Limbs were brushing my roof, and, had it shifted any further, would have fallen through half my house. I called Lone Start Tree & Roofing; they set an...

Found some bugs that I thought were termites. Requested a Termite Inspection via Angie's List. Marshall came out the next day and determined that they were ants and not termites. YAY! Never thought I'd be excited about having ants, but hey, at least it's NOT termites. Marshall educated me on the...

Saw the job they did at a neighbor's house that I helped get set up. They were very meticulous in the job that they did grinding a sweet gum stump and all the root runners. They ground some of the runners that I didn't think needed grounded, but Casey is a perfectionist. Had them give me an...

"Well we started a year ago just about talking about the project. Matt was very helpful by first listening to our opinions and and making good suggestions at several points during the process. He thought about what we ask and tried very hard to make available samples of materials and adapted to our asks as the process progressed. We had a number of bad weather interruptions (think NOAH) but Matt and crew got back to work when things improved. We are delighted with the arena, and it stood up to the test of heavy rain by draining well so Martin sand and Gravel did the job right. No job is without its challenges, but even months after the job was completed Matt kept his promises and fixed several minor details that I had deferred but he kept reminding me he needed to make right. That means a lot to me. Pictures are from November- through great Freeze! Now all greened up and dry. Thanks MR. Martin."
