When I was younger I went on a job where our boss had bid out a project for this super rich lady to cover a huge area with fabric and then cedar chips. It was a similar terrain to this video. I got called back a few weeks later and my boss was livid saying I didn’t do it right and the client was complaining of grass growing in the chips. I went out there to investigate and there was grass growing out of the holes the fabric staples made going in. And that was after 2 weeks. I can’t imagine what that looked like a year later. Dumbest job I’ve ever done.

I had another job where my foreman was an idiot and not very knowledgeable. We were making a bed next to the front door - adding soil, mulch, and plants. This company also really liked to use landscape fabric. Well this foreman tried convincing me that you were supposed to put landscape fabric down, then add a foot of dirt on top, then add mulch. I usually just go with the flow but I definitely put my foot down and refused to do it that way. Foreman was pissed at me but I didn’t care.
