"Met w John Shuleva, president - to get an estimate & some ideas on how to improve landscaping in back yard area. John arrived, but didn't seem too interested. I asked him to provide an estimate w scope of work, but he never provided this. When i followed up w him, he said they were busy & needed a few more days to provide estimate. They never provided an estimate, given the lack of interest I decided not to follow up a 2nd time. Not sure what the issues were, but given my experience I would not recommend them for landscaping services. Bottom line, I was disappointed in lack of interest & no follow up. Ernie Kulik"

"The overall seal coat covered the driveway just fine. However my issue is with the hot crack sealing. I paid an additional $135 as per written agreement to seal cracks. I’m not sure how they pick and choose which cracks to seal. I was away for the weekend and when I returned I was highly disappointed to find that only some of the cracks were sealed and others which were quite obvious to me were not even addressed. I’m not an unreasonable person and obviously didn’t expect every single crack to be sealed but they certainly could have done a much better job. When I called to ask if Dave, presumably the owner, could stop by I was told by the secretary she would leave him the message. Several days went by and he never showed. I called back and she told me he was already here and everything was fine he didn’t k kw what I was talking about. I told her that seemed funny to me because I have security cameras and never saw him here. I called two more times for a total of 4 and never saw or spoke to Dave. If you are looking for a simple sealing job I suppose they do an adequate job. But if u need to get driveway cracks sealed look elsewhere. I definitely don’t feel I got $135 worth of cracks sealed and Mr Hunter didn’t seem very interested in coming out to look at the work his employees did."

The depth of decomposed granite depends on the load the surface will support. For a vehicle driveway, install decomposed granite six inches deep. For pedestrian areas, use three inches, and for decorative surfaces, one inch will suffice. Heavier loads require thicker layers to ensure stability, drainage, and longevity, while lighter uses can maintain their appearance with less material.
One cubic yard of decomposed granite covers 54 square feet when laid to a six-inch depth. This conversion is derived by dividing the volume in cubic feet by the depth in feet. The calculation is fundamental for project planning because it converts three-dimensional volume into the two-dimensional area of coverage. Due to potential settling and compaction after installation, pros recommend an extra 15% to ensure the installed layer meets precise design requirements and maintains robust stability over time.
Determining whether a base layer is necessary for decomposed granite installation requires careful assessment of your project needs. A base layer of crushed rock or gravel provides essential support, improved drainage, and enhanced stability. Utilizing a solid base improves the overall structure by absorbing weight, reducing erosion, and extending the life of the surface. Additionally, a properly compacted base layer minimizes shifting and settling, ensuring that the decomposed granite remains evenly distributed and effective over time.
