"Craig’s landscaping is a top notch landscaping company. I have relatives who use them and have had excellent results so I decided to take a look for several projects I have around the house. I was pleasantly surprised at the capabilities and price. I have a 2 + acre property that needed extensive weeding, trimming, mulching and plant removal. The price quoted was very reasonable and the turn around time was even more of a surprise. The team arrived on time and went to work. I am typically hands on as projects take place but found I never once had to intervene. The team did a fabulous job in all facets of the project and accomplished all tasks in a professional and timely manner. The end result was 100% perfection. They took my landscape to the next level. I went one step further and hired them to cut and trim the yard. Again, perfection at all levels from cutting and trimming and the time it took to complete the tasks. I give them my highest recommendation."

"Calixto has taken care of my lawn for seven years and I hope they will continue to do so. Their rates are fair and their people are very thorough and reliable. They are also very courteous and respectful of our property, even when we forget to put hoses and tools out of their way. My daughter got some chickens this year so I hope they will be able to accommodate her request when I hear back from them. As well as lawn work they have also cleaned my gutters and I plan to have them do that again as well."

"I used WE Contractors to remove furniture and bulky heavy items from my home. William and his team were respectful and polite throughout the process. They were quick to respond to my phone calls and texts. I have already recommended their services to my friends. It was a great experience, and I will definitely be using WE Contractors again!"

"Blake did a stellar job at my place with tree removal/replacement, removing overgrown weeds/old mulch, and installing weed barrier/rock. He did a better job solo than I have experienced with hiring a company who sent out multiple guys (who not only did a *very* poor job, they were more interested in suggesting additional work that cost 4x more than the initial fix, which I ended up finishing myself-no thanks). I highly recommend Blake-he is honest, reasonably priced, and does a fantastic, thorough job. Additionally, if you are not sure of the best route to go, he goes above and beyond by listening to challenges, presenting effective solutions, and promptly responds/provides detailed follow-through w/clearly explaining all phases of the job. I finally found a contractor who takes pride in doing a good job, many thanks to Blake (aka Life Enhancer). :)"

"Peter arrived at agreed on time, went over the three areas (remove brushy weeds, weedeat, clean weeds from around propane tank and clean up residue.) It took 3 hours on a hot humid day using cuutters for thumb thick brush and a tarp to collect cuttings. He did it well and even picked up trash blown out of passing vehicles without being asked or told to do so. I plan on using him again as I am 77 and not able to do this type of yardwork any more."

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

Colored mulch can be bad for plants in that it robs them of nitrogen as it depletes the soil to break itself down. With this in mind, it’s a good idea to test your soil to check the nitrogen levels. If the nitrogen levels are low, use fertilizer with extra nitrogen or switch to regular mulch.

Another downside of colored mulch is if it’s heavily contaminated, it can contaminate the soil and damage your plants. To avoid this, look for the MSC certification logo on the mulch bag before purchasing.

A 50-pound bag of pea gravel equals approximately one-half of a cubic foot. That amount will cover a three-square-foot area to a depth of about two inches. A three-square-foot area with equal-length sides is approximately 1.73 feet by 1.73 feet, or about 20.75 inches on each side.

Top up your gravel driveway whenever water starts to pool in areas. This is bound to happen over time. You can be proactive and top up your driveway at the start of the warm season, and then check on it throughout the summer, particularly after heavy rainfall. Every few years, you should consider installing a new, clean layer of gravel—and that’s a good opportunity to install a layer of landscaping fabric before doing so.

Yes, it is possible to add too little mulch. Anything less than 1 inch will likely result in too little coverage around your plants, allowing weeds to grow through and minimizing the positive effects that a deeper bed of mulch would have, like maintaining proper soil moisture and insulating the ground.

No, mulch itself does not necessarily attract termites even though it’s usually made of shredded wood. Some types of mulch like cedar or cypress resist termites because they’re toxic or unappetizing to the wood munchers. However, when the mulch is deep enough, say three inches or more, it creates a perfect habitat for insects of all kinds to build nests.
