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: How much does a 40-pound bag of topsoil cover?

• <div><p>A 40-pound bag of topsoil covers 0.76 cubic feet, enough for 4.5 square feet with a 2-inch depth or 36 square feet with a .25-inch depth, such as topdressing a standard garden bed. If you want 2 inches of fresh topsoil for your 36-square-foot garden bed, you&rsquo;ll need eight 40-pound bags. </p></div>

Q: How do you prepare an area for hardscaping?

• <div><p>Hardscaping often requires preparation of the ground in the area where the feature is being installed. This can include digging, compacting, and leveling the soil, ensuring adequate drainage, and removing any existing plants. The extent of preparation needed will depend on the type and size of the hardscaping feature being installed.</p></div>

Q: Can you use too little mulch?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: How much mulch do you need to prevent weeds?

• <div><p>You should add 1 to 4 inches of mulch, depending on your garden type and needs. Keep in mind that no amount of mulch can completely prevent weeds, but a heavier coverage (closer to 4 inches) can suppress weeds enough that you are only seeing them sprout every few weeks. Finer mulch prevents weeds more effectively than large mulch, so if you&rsquo;re using mulched leaves or shredded bark, 1 to 2 inches will likely suffice, while 3 to 4 inches is best for larger mulch, like bark chips or straw.</p></div>

I hired them for laying mulch. Excellent job. I hired for a second job of painting parts of the exterior of my home. Such precision and hard work. I am going to hire for a third job. I recommend them highly. Great skills, knowledge, communication and availability.

Jay and his crew showed up right on time and went to work. They very carefully removed tree limbs close to the house. They finished that same day and cleaned up all the tree limbs and trimmings. One of Jay's crew then did the stump grinding and left the entire area covered with mulch from the...

They do my lawn all the time. They mow my lawn and edge the yard. They also spread mulch and do weed removal. They come every week this time of year. Their work is consistent and reliable.

They had estimated it would take 6 weeks to get to this job - but then were able to fit it in a week after the estimate. This was tough for me. We were attracted to this house in 1979 because of the glorious large Pink dogwood out front. It has been a staple in my yard for over 35 years....
