Landscaper Practices - depth of mulch and staking of trees
This particular landscaper has responded as follows for the problems as indicated:
Depth of mulch:* No response.* The afternoon showers continue to wash the mulch onto the driveway creating exposed areas of weed barrier.
Staking of trees:* Staked three of the 8 trees with one stake each.* Used string on one tree.* Staking should be accomplished with a minimum of two stakes per tree, using a fastening cord that will not injure the tree - either a strap-like material, or rope with a portion of rubber hose protecting the tree.* Certainly not "string!"
Please e-mail me if you would like to know which landscaper to avoid.
