"While we haven't needed their snow removal service yet, I was very impressed with my early interactions with Jaret. The fact that he set up an appointment and answered all my questions in person says a lot about their approach to the work."

"NOT WELL. He threatened to take me to small claims court after flooding our basement. Say a landscaper you hired did some work for you the week of July 6th . Graded your yard incorrectly and your finished basement flooded July 9th and 10th. Caused so much damage that the mitigation services cost $2,400. Now you need to replace carpet for $3,800. Not sure what the cost is to replace the wood trim yet, drywall or any other repair costs to get the basement back to normal. Say you literally had to move all the dirt on the side of the house yourselves, that the landscaper put there, so you don't get additional flooding. And the other work in the rear of the house, still has yet to be redone, as the dirt is taller than the base of the house, so this grading is also incorrect. Say the new estimates to fix the yard correctly consist of a retaining wall, etc. Something Wally never told us we needed. For the work to be done correctly, both estimates are over $10,000. Say you are still waiting to hear what the landscapers insurance MIGHT cover before you give any payment to Wally. Both the restoration/mitigation services and your personal insurance company fault the landscaper (in writing) for the flooding. And the landscaper's insurance says they will cover some of the expense of the damages. ("some" due to depreciation of the carpet, etc. ) So it will most likely cost you a few thousand dollars out of your own pocket, when all is finally said and done. AND Say the landscaper still expects to be paid over $2,100 for the work that was done thus far (for the incorrect grading done). Say the landscaper even called you this morning and told you he was taking you to small claims court."

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

You don’t have to spend a small fortune to make big changes to your landscape. You can achieve a lot for well under $5,000, especially if you like a DIY challenge. With a landscaping budget of $5,000, you could tackle a project like building a simple patio or deck, sprucing up your existing landscape with new plants, mulching, and tree trimming, or adding an impressive water feature. You’ll have no shortage of possibilities if you budget wisely.

The depth of your decomposed granite depends on its intended use, but around 3 to 4 inches is the most common depth. Driveways that need to support a lot of weight should be at a depth of no less than 6 inches. Walkways that won’t see a lot of weight but lots of foot traffic should be built at a depth of 3 to 4 inches, and patios should also be between 3 and 4 inches deep.

Topsoil should go down first. If the topsoil is next to your house, make sure the grade slopes away from the house to keep water from pooling against your foundation and possibly leaking into your basement or crawl space. Don’t cover your decorative landscape mulch with topsoil as that defeats the purpose of laying down the mulch. If you’re trying to create a certain soil composition to improve plant growth, you’ll likely want compost mixed into the topsoil instead of mulch. Over time, any decorative wood mulch will simply decompose under the topsoil.

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.

The amount of soil you’ll need around your foundation depends on a variety of factors, but in general, you want a 6-inch decline over the first 10 feet extending out from your foundation. How much soil it will take to achieve that will depend on the current grade of the yard, how much foundation is exposed, and the size of your home.
