"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."

"Nick has done a lot for us. More than can be checked with one box. This project has sprouted legs but Nick has been honest and provided solid advice throughout. We had flooding and he started off providing drying equipment. He then assessed the issue that was causing the flooding and has fixed it by waterproofing the foundation, installing a french drain, and channel draining. While assessing the damage he found mold and has done full remediation to the basement. He continues to work on this project by offering counsel on who to hire on reinstallation s well. Nick has been a Godsend and has treated us fairly. I feel like his costs are very reasonable as well. Would highly recommend him and his crew."

The team came early, worked diligently and checked in with us periodically to make sure we’re all on the same page. The attention to detail, precision and level of professionalism is unparalleled. Can’t wait for them to work on the next phase of our backyard build out!"

"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

A light layer of mulch can help protect a tree, retain moisture, and keep the soil healthy. However, it’s important to avoid over-mulching or piling the mulch up around the trunk of a tree, a practice notoriously called “volcano mulching.” That piled mulch can increase the chances of rot and disease on the tree trunk as well as overwhelming the soil, which needs access to a certain amount of air. Topped trees have it hard enough: mulch sparingly while they heal.

Mulch costs anywhere from $30 to $150 per cubic yard, depending on several factors. On the lower end, common types like red and black mulch cost about $35 to $40 per cubic yard and are often made from recycled wood. More premium options like cedar, cypress, and rubber mulch can cost between $100 and $120 per cubic yard. The total cost is also influenced by delivery, which can be around $75 per cubic yard, though many companies provide a free estimate. It is generally cheaper to buy mulch in bulk and have it delivered, but buying it in bags may be more cost-effective for smaller areas. Other factors like the quantity you need, time of year, your geographical location, and professional installation will also affect the final price. Before getting quotes, it's a good idea to calculate how much mulch you need. A professional can help you determine the most suitable type for your landscaping needs.

When laying gravel, it's often a good idea to apply a base layer, such as sand or crushed concrete. You may also want to layer a weed-blocking membrane on top of the base layer to prevent weeds and grass from sprouting up in your gravel driveway. Without the appropriate base layer, the gravel you lay may sink into the soil.

Pea gravel comes in a variety of colors, including cream, white, black, gray, and brown being some of the most popular choices for homeowners. You can also find red, yellow, green, and even multicolor options for your landscaping needs. The price of pea gravel is about $350 for the typical home improvement project.

Delivery services save time and effort, ensuring precise quantities reach your site conveniently and reducing the physical strain of self-transportation and handling.
