About this service

Landscape gravel consists of small, crushed stones used for drainage, ground cover, or pathways. It is a popular choice for areas where you want to suppress weeds without the need for constant weeding or watering. You typically look into gravel when you want a low-maintenance alternative to grass or mulch, especially in high-traffic walking paths or areas prone to muddy runoff after heavy rain.

Fall is the best time for overseeding and soil care. Clearing leaves is just the beginning; this is when you prepare your lawn for winter by fertilizing and addressing any bare spots. It is also a great window for planting bulbs and hardy shrubs. Getting ahead of these tasks now saves you time and effort next year.
