"The project went great! Sebastian was amazing. He and his guys transformed our yard to something beautiful. They cleaned up the whole hill side (removing all the weeds) , added compost, and planted new plants over the entire area. They also replaced our irrigation valves and repaired all of the sprinklers that needed it. They cleaned up other parts of the yard and mulched everything. It looks amazing!! So lucky I found them!!"

"Jacob and his team could not have done a better job on our 4 Queen Palms and Siberian Elm. AND he was the most affordable of the 4 bids I got. He and his team understood exactly what I was needing, were courteous, on time, and cleaned up everything perfectly. I recommend them without reservation."

"We recently redid the landscaping in our newly purchased home. Kent Horner spent quite a bit of time w us suggesting creative design elements as part of the bidding process. We chose C and H from the several estimates we received and are happy we did. Kent’s crew was timely, worked very hard, reacted positively to our change requests and thoroughly cleaned up at the end of every day. Kent stopped by most days to make sure all was well! And it was! We love our yard and appreciate the work that Kent and his guys did! Highly recommended. Pete and Mickie"

"Joe and his team installed grass from scratch in our Carmel Valley home. They took away old dried up grass, re-leveled the area, installed a mesh under the grass to prevent more gophers from making holes, and installed new Marathon. It looks great! Joe and his team were very professional, and completed the work in the time they said they would. Joe cares a lot regarding the quality of the job and has excellent communication. He is both knowledgeable and friendly. When they came in we were still ruffled from a prior difficult experience with a hardscape company, and Joe and his team helped put us to ease. We had a great experience with them and highly recommend Joe and his team to anyone else."

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

Using sand under stepping stones can be beneficial in certain situations. Sand can help level the ground and provide stability for the stepping stones, especially if the ground is uneven. It also allows for minor adjustments during the installation process. However, sand may not be the best choice for all environments. In areas with high foot traffic or heavy rain, sand may wash away or become displaced, leading to an uneven surface. In such cases, a more stable base material like gravel or crushed stone is preferable. Consider your specific landscape conditions before deciding whether to use sand under stepping stones.

Since you’ll likely be digging a trench to install your yard drainage system, this is a good time to complete other tasks that involve digging up your yard, including: Sprinkler system installation Lawn reseeding Regrading your yard Redesigning your landscaping If your drain is under a walkway or driveway, your contractor must also remove those materials. This is a great time to consider upgrading your hardscaping features, especially if they’re nearing the end of their life span.

Wood from black walnut, magnolia, eucalyptus, red maple, and invasive species like tree of heaven are not recommended for mulching. These trees release allelochemicals that can suppress plant growth. Some homeowners, however, use wood from these trees for mulching if it is less potent due to age or concentration, or if the plants are not as sensitive to them.

Pea gravel can retain some heat, but it generally stays cooler than materials like concrete, asphalt, or stone pavers. Lighter-colored pea gravel reflects more sunlight and tends to stay cooler, while darker-colored gravel can absorb heat and become warmer to the touch.

Generally, you want the soil for your edible plants to have good drainage, organic matter for nutrients, a loose texture (like loam soil), and a balanced pH level. However, the type of plants you're growing will dictate the exact characteristics your soil needs to thrive. For example, brussels sprout prefers more acidic soil, while broccoli prefers more alkaline soil.
