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.

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.

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...

At 6j Forestry Mulching our mission is to improve and maintain the environmental quality of the land by removing brush, trees, and foliage. As well as preserving the land, leaving behind an organic biodegradable layer of ground covering with richer and more fertile soil as it stabilizes and protects from erosion and encourages native plants growth. This method provides an option for land clearing that is easier, eats up less time and money, and alleviates environmental risks. The process is accomplished by using a single piece of equipment eliminating any need for burning or haul off.

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts
The most important thing to put under a rock garden is the appropriate soil. The specific soil needed will depend on the type of plants you’re growing as well as the environment you live in. You can also put non-woven or woven fabric under the rocks to add to the garden's structural stability.
Many ways to landscape a steep slope on a budget exist. Avoiding expensive retaining wall construction is the first step. Consider creating a rocky slope with boulders or large stones, or think about planting perennials that return every year with a single investment. Transplanting small trees from elsewhere on your property is also possible and can help to stabilize steep slopes without purchasing new ones.
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.
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.
Measure the area needing coverage and consult with suppliers on average depth requirements for each material. Calculations often use cubic yards for accuracy and practicality.
Yes, you can put topsoil over sand to encourage grass growth. The topsoil will help to improve water retention and promote grass roots’ development, making it a recommended step of the seeding process. Adding a layer of topsoil will provide additional nutrients to the sandy soil, helping the grass grow and remain healthy through many seasons.
