FAQ
Mulching in Columbia — common questions
- Will your business name match what I see on Google?
- Yes—our site and Google profile use the same legal business name and service-area story. If something looks off after verification, tell us so we can correct mismatches fast.
- Do you publish real project photos?
- We’re replacing stock imagery with real Midlands jobs as assets come in. Case studies document problem → scope → outcome so you can judge how we think—not just marketing photos.
- How deep should mulch be?
- Usually around 2–3 inches after settling, without burying root flares. Depth changes if old mulch is already thick—we’ll tell you if removal or thinning is the smarter move.
- Can I read reviews before I book?
- Yes—our reviews page explains how we’ll sync with Google after verification. Honest feedback matters more than a perfect score.
- What if my Columbia lot is unusual?
- That’s common—corner lots, long drives, lake slopes, and tight side yards change time-on-site. We quote for the layout you have, not a generic flat rate.
