"Proceed with extreme caution and buy full insurance!!!! If you use them, get full insurance and literally have someone stand there in the truck and watch them place every item. We provided them with bubble wrap and tons of blankets and they used 25% of it. We were moving cross country and I hired them to load our stuff up onto a trailer. They destroyed 60% of our things. They literally put our dining room table on its side on the trailer floor with NOTHING underneath it, not even a blanket. It scraped along the trailer floor all they way across the country. Almost every single piece of furniture we own was scratched severely and we had to literally throw away 30% of our furniture. We had two men and a truck unload us in our destination city and they all felt so bad for us. They said this was literally the worst packing job they had ever seen and would sign statements or whatever we needed to help plead our case or get some money back. When I called I got transferred to their “supervisor” or claims handler and she was completely defensive right out of the gate and stonewalled me Bc my wife signed the contract after everything was loaded. We didn’t know that would void everything. How do you know you have a claim until after you find out when it’s unloaded? Lesson learned. If you have a different option I would recommend that. If not use them for 100% of everything and get full insurance!!!!"

New Life Arboricultural Service is a full service tree and landscaping company located in Grand Rapids, Michigan. NLAS is relied up to design, build, maintain, and enhance unique places of lasting beauty. We have over 15 years of experience with unparalleled knowledge and technical ability, outstanding customer service and retention, relentless execution, and a true understanding of cutomer's needs. We routinely transform the everyday into one-of-a-kind environments- whether it's a resort, corporate campus, retail center, master-planned community or the place you call home.

"Charged 13k to remove a half a tree that had fallen on my garage. They were recommended by my insurance company so I didn't think to check how much it would cost but they gouged it so much that they took my whole policy payout and my garage cannot be fixed. Spoke with Tim at the office and he cannot even send me an invoice until the end of day. Run do not use these people. Also to note: They came the day after they said they would be there, they did not call I had to reach out. I gave a pass on this as there was a major storm, but not very professional to not call. I had to call the office 6 times before they answered this morning. Charged for clean up, however there are still 3 large pieces of tree in my yard. They're was some type of manager (Lansing lesson) there because their Lansing crews had been "caught doing stuff they shouldn't" Do not use this company Edit / Follow up: After reaching out and waiting they did send me an invoice for just over 8500 for the same job, never did receive an invoice for the 13 thousand that they sent to my insurance company. This still seems excessive to me and I did reach out and they were unwilling to lower it any more. They charge for a full 8 hour day no matter how long they are actually on the job, which they state is standard practice, however none of the other three tree companies I called do this. I never received a response to my email questioning this, however, Rebecca was able to email me within minutes when I asked where to send the check. The contact that they make you sign leaves absolutely no protection for you the customer, they can do what ever they want and there is no recourse, including not honoring any estimate given. If you don't pay within 30 days they will charge you interest. This is a predatory company and they are very good at seeming like they are their to help until you get the invoice, then they will not help at all."

Mulch and topsoil services FAQs

Mulch costs anywhere from $30 to $150 per cubic yard, depending on the type you choose. On the inexpensive end, red and black mulch are about $35 to $40 per cubic yard, and are typically made from recycled waste wood like shredded old pallets or deck material. Cedar, cypress, and rubber mulch cost anywhere from $100 to $120 per cubic yard. A pro can help you determine the type of mulch most suitable for your landscaping needs.

Topsoil costs from $12 to $55 per cubic yard, depending on the type you choose. For example, screened black dirt will cost about $15 per cubic yard. Loam (soil composed of sand, silt, and clay) costs about $17 per cubic yard. Standard screened topsoil costs about $20 per cubic yard. The type of topsoil you need depends on your landscaping plans.

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.

No, mulch itself does not necessarily attract termites even though it’s usually made of shredded wood. Some types of mulch like cedar or cypress resist termites because they’re toxic or unappetizing to the wood munchers. However, when the mulch is deep enough, say three inches or more, it creates a perfect habitat for insects of all kinds to build nests.

Although it’s not required to lay anything under mulch, it can help to put landscape fabric or plastic weed barrier down and lay mulch on top. The barrier helps keep weeds from growing up through your mulch. It also helps keep rodents and insects from burrowing into the ground underneath.
