Mike came over on Tuesday, gave us an estimate that was quite a bit less than the other estimates. We set it up for that Friday at 9:30. The crew arrived on time and went right to work. They took the limbs off the trees and mulched them. they cut down the trees and cut them into sixteen inch rounds and put them in a pile. The cleaned up all the brush and even left some of the mulch for the neighbor to use in her garden. Very professional and hard working crew. We highly recommend them. And mike sings really good too! Kevin, the supervisor, was also excellent.

I wanted to put a swing set up for my granddaughter but didn't have a place level enough to place it. Mike from Sunshine had lots of ideas for making the whole yard usable. I wasn't sure I would be able to afford getting the entire yard done at once, so I asked him to break the estimate out multiple ways. I got quotes from 5 different landscapers and Mike was the only one that broke the estimate out the way that I asked for it to be done. We ended up doing the whole yard. Yeah!
The first day they showed up right when they'd said they would (as they did every day). Access to the back yard is very limited, all uphill and of course it was raining. But if you live in Alaska you know that it rains a lot this time of year, if you let the rain stop you you will never get anything done. They laid down a plywood road up the side of the yard to protect it, added traction strips and got to work cutting trees down, pulling up roots and leveling the ground. The work continued for a several days (mostly in the rain). They even worked through the weekend to take advantage of nicer weather. They hauled in topsoil and built a pea gravel pad for the swing set. And finished off with hydroseed.
We've gone from an unlevel, grown-over piece of land to a back yard that we will enjoy every chance we get.

I got the quote from them back in April. I have a mini golf course in my front yard that my husband put in a few years ago. I thought to reseed the whole yard and just wanted to make it all grass. I wanted topsoil in my flowerbeds because it still had ash in there. I thought the work would include the flower and bushes and all it included was removing the golf course and laying down topsoil and hydroseeding. I thought I really overpaid for that. I paid over $3500 and didn't include any plants or flowers. I asked one of the guys about the flowers and he said it was not included in that price. It took them less than a day to complete the work. The quality was good. They did a good job with what they did. I was scheduled to start the work on 4th of June and nobody showed up. I called them, and they did send out someone the next day. For some reason, I was not in the schedule. I called them and told that I had signed the contract in April. They did correct that. They came in the very next day. They didn't make me wait any longer. They were here when they said they would be.
7/24/12: I am still not happy with the work that was done. One reason I wanted new topsoil & reseeding was to get rid of all the dandelions & other weeds taking over my yard.
The first thing to come up was the dandelions, followed by the chickweed & clover. I don't have a golf course anymore, thankfully, but as for a pretty new lawn - I don't have it."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ak/anchorage/ground-effects-landscaping-reviews-7368920.htm"},"position":5},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Titan LLC Anchorages Landcape Contractor","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"AK","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Kivlina B."},"reviewBody":"I wanted to have some topsoil delivered.

FAQs for mulch and topsoil service projects in Juneau, AK
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.
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 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.
