My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Removing rock 'mulch'

22 years ago

Hi!

The previous owner of our house put rock "mulch" in all the gardens. I plan to remove it all and replace with wood chip mulch. The question is how to do it?

I have tried shoveling it but it takes too long. I've heard of rock vaccuums. Do they work? What is the maximum size rock they can vaccuum? My rocks are about 1.5 - 2 inches

Bert
