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.

Can having a nice yard be any easier??? I cannot say enough about Vic. If you call me, you will hear the passion in my voice of what this man has done and how he can help you. 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. I feel, that I will be able to charge more for my home when I put it on the market because of the drive up appeal it in my neighborhood.

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 Service reviews from real Angi homeowners in Talty, TX
Don't believe the slick top-notch image this company tries to present on their website. This is a sub-par mowing company that sends out random mowers in unmarked trucks to mow your yard. Our "guy" came out every week with a beat up lawn mower that doesn't appear to have sharp blades or...

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts
The right depth depends on your intended use for the area. For instance, pea gravel for walkways and patios typically only needs to be about 2 to 3 inches deep. However, driveways and other areas with heavier loads may require 4 to 6 inches for better stability.
If you’re using crushed stone or gravel as a base material, then yes, you should compact it to prevent movement of the top layers. For instance, if you don’t compact crushed stone or gravel and you lay pavers on top of them, the pavers will shift over time. However, if you’re using gravel or crushed stone as a top layer for aesthetic purposes, you might not want to compact the materials.
You can use regular sand as the base for your pavers and in between pavers to seal the joints. Many pros reach for polymeric sand, also known as all-purpose sand, because it has been sifted and washed to remove impurities. But you can easily level ground and fill gaps between pavers for a clean look using regular sand, sometimes at a lower cost.
Topsoil costs from $12 to $55 per cubic yard, depending on the type you choose. For example, screened black dirt will cost about $15 per cubic yard. Loam (soil composed of sand, silt, and clay) costs about $17 per cubic yard. Standard screened topsoil costs about $20 per cubic yard. The type of topsoil you need depends on your landscaping plans.
A good driveway should have a solid base layer and a smooth surface layer of gravel. A base layer of larger gravel, around 1 to 2 inches, keeps the foundation stable and helps with drainage. For the top layer, smaller gravel, about 1/4 to 1/2 inches, compacts well and creates an even surface that’s easier to drive on. Using both ensures the driveway stays durable, drains properly, and doesn’t shift over time.
