Didn't pick-up but was charged
Would Not RecommendI am submitting a one-star rating because I was billed for a service that was not rendered. I anticipate that the corresponding charge will be credited to my account which is why I do not have any photographic or video evidence to provide

Shiny Mulch, Not Secure 700 Dollar Lesson Learned
Would Not RecommendEvery autumn my New England property turns into a leaf factory, and with roughly 10 yards of mulch beds to protect, I figured this glue would finally save me from the annual wind-and-leaf chaos — so I went big, grabbing six of the 2L concentrate jugs at about $117 each (north of $700 with CT tax, and no diluting it to stretch your money). I followed the instructions closely, spending 5-6 hours applying and reapplying second and third coats across every bed, but the results were disappointing: a ...
We’re very sorry to hear about your experience, especially after the time and expense you invested in treating such a large area.

Waste of Money

Doesn’t work
I bought 4 gallons of this about a month ago for the pea gravel I was putting in between my stone patio stones. It took SO much more than I was expecting and is already failing to stick it together. Very disappointed $200 wasted.

Save your $50.
Would Not RecommendIt was as if I just sprayed the mulch with water and let it dry for 24 hours with no rain. Just the wind blows the mulch around after. It does say apply 2 or 3 coats, but at $50 a gallon. You would think it would stick together at least a little on one coat. I could run my hands through the mulch and nothing was sticking together. Even $15 would be too much for this product. I never write reviews, but had to on this one. A lot of money that could be put to better use.

Used this on a 15” wide pea gravel pathway that does not get a lot of foot traffic. Applied two coats, on a sunny, summer day, allowing 24hrs between coats. Raked out the gravel to make smooth surface. 1st application was slow and tedious with a lot of bending over. Easy to see where applied. 2nd coat went faster. This was done 4 days ago so I can’t comment on length of time product lasts. Took a few steps on the surface. It was hard. I have the remaining larger area to do but not sure when th...
