"The deal I purchased through Angie's list was I believe $1700(?) for a crew for a day. After looking around David realized it would be 2 days. David, Miguel and crew removed 5 or 6 large oaks, a diseased hickory, and many smaller scrubby trees. They ground stumps and cut all the wood in fireplace lengths for us to split later- as I requested. Because he didn't have to haul all the wood away or split it, I was able to have more trees taken down. The crew was fast, efficient and Miguel is amazing in the treetops. This was in 2015 and my barren shady yard is now sunny and grassy."

Acclaim Services was founded in 1999 by Mark & Teresa Harris, after many years of working for others in the industry. Teresa worked with a local gardening company for several years, maintaining gardens in Farmington, Keswick and Albemarle county. Mark began doing lawn care in his teens, worked with mixing & applying fertilizers and nutrients at a farm store, spent several years as the sells & service manager for a Lawn Doctor of Chesterfield and worked for Lawn Doctor of Charlottesville. Mark & Teresa have taken classes through The Virginia Tech. Extension Service and local nurseries. Mark has taken classes and been certified through Virginia Tech and their Master Gardener programs, Virginia Turfgrass Council, Lawn Doctor University, Toro University, Rainbird Irrigation, Techo Block wall systems, Belgard Stone, Easyturf artificial turf and Cast low voltage lighting. We have been designing, installing and maintaining landscapes, lawns, Hardscapes, landscape lighting, water features and irrigation systems since 1999. We have been the landscape contractor for The Colonnades Senior Living Community, in Charlottesville, since 1999. Call us today for a free estimate.

"After another patch of poor weather and another visit by Miss Utility, the project got started in late October with Mark supervising all the work. After locating the irrigation lines, the excavator got started right away. This person was a highly qualified professional and his work with the machinery was outstanding. About halfway down the driveway they identified the power and cable lines and expertly navigated around them. The two other crew members worked along the excavator pulling up rocks, cutting roots, and removing other debris. The excavating was done in the morning and in the afternoon the crew lined the ditch with fabric. Next, they began to carefully place the larger rocks into the ditch on top of the fabric. Each large rock was meticulously placed by hand in the ditch, very similar to putting a jigsaw puzzle together. This took a couple of days to complete. Once this was done another layer of smaller stones were distributed between the spaces between the large rocks. When this was done, the area was completely cleaned up. A pile of large rocks were left for us to use around the rest of the yard. It was an amazing job and we are very pleased by how attractive it is. All the employees were courteous and hard working. It was a very professionally done job by everyone involved and they answered all our questions along the way. We had requested quotes from two other local companies that we never heard from again after leaving numerous messages with their answering services. We were very impressed with the prompt and courteous approach from Mark and his company down to his work crews. We would highly recommend Acclaim Services for your landscaping needs."

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

It can be tedious and time-consuming to install your own mulch and determine the ideal amount. A professional can help you ensure the right thickness and save you a lot of time and headaches.

Wood from black walnut, magnolia, eucalyptus, red maple, and invasive species like tree of heaven are not recommended for mulching. These trees release allelochemicals that can suppress plant growth. Some homeowners, however, use wood from these trees for mulching if it is less potent due to age or concentration, or if the plants are not as sensitive to them.

You need to put shock-absorbent material under artificial grass. While it will depend on where exactly you’re placing artificial grass, there are a few different options you could use such as silica sand, granite sand, astro-cushion, weed membrane, and geo-textile paper.

When you purchase mulch for delivery, it’s usually by the cubic yard, so you’ll want to convert your space to cubic yards to get the right amount. First, determine the square footage of the area you want to cover, and then determine how deep the bed of mulch will be—a good rule of thumb is around three inches. Multiply your square footage in feet by the depth in inches and divide by 324. You may want to add a ½ to one additional cubic yard to ensure you have enough.

While they’re popular and have a lot of pros, the cons of river rocks include the following:

  • River rocks don’t break down or provide nutrients to plants. 

  • These stones can get hot and scorch nearby plants. 

  • River stones may heat the surrounding soil to inhospitable temperatures. 

  • Rocks can block rainwater from seeping into the ground if installations are too thick or tightly packed.

Most downsides occur when using river rock as mulch in gardens and flower beds. However, you can still incorporate river rocks into your landscape as long as you use them in the correct ways.
