Q: Can you mix small and large gravel?

• <div><p>Yes, and in many cases, you should. Large gravel works best as a base layer because it improves drainage and keeps the surface stable. A top layer of smaller gravel fills in gaps and creates a smoother, more compacted surface. This combination is common in driveways and high-traffic areas where both stability and comfort matter.</p></div>

Q: Is colored mulch more expensive?

• <div><p>It depends. High-end colored mulch can be fairly costly. However, you'll have to replace less-expensive natural mulches, like pine needles and cedar mulch, more frequently. </p><p>The cost is balanced out somewhat, though, as although you'll have to replace colored mulch less often, you'll have to replenish nutrients in your soil more frequently to make up for the decrease in organic matter and nitrogen from the mulch.</p></div>

Q: Is diatomaceous earth natural?

• <div><p>Food-grade diatomaceous earth is a natural product that comes from diatoms&mdash;fossilized aquatic organisms from tens of millions of years ago. Food-grade diatomaceous earth is considered &quot;natural,&quot; while pool or filter-grade diatomaceous earth has been treated and transformed to have higher crystalline silica content.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to mulch over rocks or remove rocks?

• <div><p>In most cases, it&rsquo;s better to remove rocks before adding mulch. Layering the two will restrict drainage and plant health, and can create an unpleasant texture underfoot. </p></div>

Q: What type of fertilizer should I use in my garden beds?

• <div><p>As a base, you should use a fertilizer with a 5-5-5 NPK ratio (5% nitrogen, 5% phosphorus, and 5% potassium). You may need a different ratio depending on what your soil is lacking, but a soil test can help determine the perfect amount.</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...

The initial job in the fall was done to expectations though scheduling and communication were difficult. We asked them to come back in the spring to do mulch maintenance and replace dead plants. The non-communication has been the biggest issue where we have been going back in forth for now three...

The price was competitive for what they did. However, the person that came out and talked to us about what we wanted done obviously did not listen and he did not write it down. They did send me a document outlining what they were going to do and since I don't know anything about landscaping, I...
