Any and all necessary "helper needed" type of scenarios. I have an excellent review record, and was nearly into the top 10 of all Portland job seekers. I can help move, clean exterior or interior, paint and help remodel homes. I am skilled in landscaping and lawn care as well as minor construction and appliance repair and Installation. I can set up home security networks or even be a personal assistant. If you need me, I'm there. Y

"Jason was a life saver. I was given short notice to move and Jason showed up, began boxing and organizing my apartment and packing my belongings quickly and carefully. I was going to abandon a few furniture items because I couldn't move them easily, but Jason insisted he could get them out and packed in the uhaul. He dismantled my desk, bed frame, and sectional and loaded everything with ease. He absolutely crushed it! I had no idea anyone could've been so helpful. Customer satisfaction through the roof and work ethic unparalleled!! A must hire for any job you need done."

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

Nonorganic mulch, like river rocks, pebbles, or lava rock, technically lasts the longest. It helps with moisture retention and weed control but doesn’t break down and release nutrients like organic mulch. Wood mulch decomposes slowly, which can help it last longer than leaf or straw mulch, but it won’t provide as many nutrients as quickly as the faster decomposing types.

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’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.

Pea gravel can retain some heat, but it generally stays cooler than materials like concrete, asphalt, or stone pavers. Lighter-colored pea gravel reflects more sunlight and tends to stay cooler, while darker-colored gravel can absorb heat and become warmer to the touch.

If you have a steep driveway, angular gravel, which is 3/4 to 2 inches in length, is a great choice. The stones won’t slide, allow for proper drainage, and stay in place even on the steepest slope.

Yes, you need to add topsoil before you hydroseed to ensure the roots can grow deep. You should cultivate and add compost or amendments to your soil before hydroseeding for optimal growth. Without topsoil, your hydroseed might not take root, leading to wasted effort and money down the drain. Soil preparation is key to the success of DIY hydroseeding.
