"ZERO STARS - BEWARE Customers and neighbors BEWARE NEGLIGENT Company and INSENSITIVE Owner I am writing to express my deep concern and dissatisfaction with the recent events involving Heroes Lawn Care. Their team was responsible for damaging our internet connectivity, while working on my neighbors lawn care. Initially, they damaged the first internet wire that connects to my home, which they informed us about. However, despite their awareness of not having the correct mapping of our underground wires, they proceeded to cut three additional wires, resulting in a loss of internet service that affected our home for a significant period of time. The business demonstrated negligence by persisting with trenching despite being aware of incorrect markings and severing a wire leading to our property. Instead of rectifying the error and obtaining accurate mapping, they continued trenching unabated. Consequently, the severed wires disrupted our internet connectivity, leaving my husband unable to work for hours despite attempting to use a hotspot, which proved futile due to the computer's inability to connect. This disruption had a direct impact on my husband, who is a contractor and relies on a stable internet connection to carry out his work. As a consequence of this company's actions, he suffered a loss of income. I have reached out to the owner Scott Covert multiple times, and all he mentioned that my claim was comical and that we should have used a hotspot. Oh well!"

"TERRIBLE. I was not around when the job was going on, but from reviews I trusted him. When it was all done I came home and it was not what I wanted but thought better than the last guy. Within the next few days every time I went out I was not happy. I has SPECIFICALLY asked NO decomposed granite, No mulch. I wanted stones. I was still hopefully wishing to get a bit of my first wish of a dry riverbed. I prefer stones and LOW MAINTENANCE, over grass. I went with his suggesting of leveling the yard and putting all new sod (which of course I had to because there was nothing but mud after leveling)...still upset I as not going to get my dry riverbed dream yard, He said not possible because of the first landscaper. He also assured me I would get used to the decomposed granite (which I said I did not want in the beginning) NOW. I had to pay to have stones bought in and put over all the decomposed granite, which he used on the sides with flagstone rocks. Every time I walked from outdoors and came in I basically bought sand into house. The landscaping rock he used to make flower beds (which I did not want ) and again putting decomposed granite in them also. Have all come apart. He DID NOT USE any LANDSCAPE FABRIC in any of my areas. I only have 4 shrubs, and 1 Little Gem (small Magnolia) left. My full time job is pulling weeds from the beds and yard. The sod was nothing but weeds. In the original plan he was going to build a nice bench for seating in the large corner of the yard. HAHA to that because when I aske what happened he said he changed his mind. I had him back out several times (Of course he was already paid in full, which I will never do again until I check things out for several weeks afterward to make sure things were done correctly or at lease satisfactory). The sprinkler system was suppose to be set to supply water to the new plantings. Well after a couple visits and it still not being corrected, is what happened to many of my plantings. They never got watered. I did it for a while by hand but only reminded me how upset I was with Mike and his contractors/ sub contractors. The sprinkler system he supposedly added and or adjusted for my plantings was never done. Even after several times sending the sprinkler guys or Mike Rohe (owner) back ..Yes this has been almost 2 years now, (which I have tried repairing what I could on my own (landscaping fabric, cementing the landscape stones back together, configuring my sprinklers, pulling up the last few shrubs that are left, etc.) The reason I am writing another review is because I am now shopping again for a GOOD LANDSCAPER this time that can do a PROFESSIONAL job and NOT CUT CORNERS."

"Texas Best Stain was very organized through the entire process from when they responded to my request from Angie's list, bidding process, scheduling, and work. If I had an issue of concern they responded to it. For instance, my fence was stained right before Christmas. The next day it rained. So when the fence stain dried, it seemed a little uneven in places. I requested that they come back out to touch up the fence where there was uneven or light staining and they rescheduled in January after Christmas. The final refinished fence looks great. And I like the color."

The average cost of a gravel driveway is about $1.25 to $2 per square foot, including the cost of materials, equipment, and professional installation. For example, a 16-by-30-foot driveway costs about $1,500. Cost factors include the type of gravel, how thick the gravel is installed, the condition of the landscape, and labor costs. Overall costs will vary depending on where you live and how accessible the job site is.
A gravel driveway should be at least 4 to 6 inches deep, depending on the soil it’s installed on. Softer soil that doesn’t drain well should have a deeper gravel driveway. Deeper gravel will mean you spend more on materials and labor, but you’ll get a more stable driveway and avoid damage that needs to be filled or graded flat again.
Because gravel moves, it requires different maintenance than asphalt or concrete. Here are a few maintenance tips for your gravel driveway. Every few years (or as often as needed):
Grade and level your driveway
Rake to fill holes and ruts
Compact any refilled potholes
Remove weeds with herbicide or by hand
Spray it with water to reduce the amount of dust kicked up
Avoid using a snowplow during winter months
A gravel driveway should last for up to 100 years with proper upkeep, which is minimal. Maintaining a gravel driveway includes grading and adding fresh gravel to fill in potholes. Otherwise, a gravel driveway holds up well to all kinds of weather. Plowing in the winter can be challenging and the gravel can develop ruts or potholes that need to be repaired, but the cost and longevity of gravel compared to concrete, asphalt, and pavers makes gravel an economical option, especially for long and/or wide driveways.
