"Emmanuel did an excellent job cleaning our gutters and solar panels. He worked in tough conditions (rain and wind) and managed to get everything spotless. He showed up on time, worked diligently until the job was completed and thoroughly cleaned up when he was finished. We would highly recommend him for this job and will be calling on him again."

"This was a giant coastal hillside project with drainage, terracing, lighting, irrigation, walls built, stairs built, pet relief area created, and tons of rocks placed and plantings. Raul and his crew were top notch. They worked efficiently and quickly. The crew was clean and respectful. Raul was so easy to work with and took care of all the details that you want addressed. It could not have been easier! I would 100% recommend Raul for any landscape job you are looking for. He even has a maintenance crew for weekly upkeep!"

"Velasco Landscaping did an amazing job installing pavement at my property! From start to finish, the team was professional, efficient, and detail-oriented. The quality of the work exceeded my expectations, and the finished pavement looks fantastic—clean lines, solid craftsmanship, and it’s built to last. They were respectful of the space, cleaned up thoroughly after the job, and completed everything on time. I highly recommend Velasco Landscaping for anyone looking for top-notch paving work and reliable service. Definitely a 5-star experience!"

"We live on a hill in very rainy Scotts Valley and had three redwood retaining walls that were failing. David Stevenson and his crew replaced all three -- two with concrete blocks, one with wood -- for a reasonable price. They also updated our sprinkler system. They were very efficient, highly professional and always gave us notice of days and times they would be working (and actually did work those days and times). We will use them for future projects and have already recommended them to friends in Ben Lomond."

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

That depends on the number of cubic feet in each bag. Ten 2-cubic-foot bags of mulch will cover 20 cubic feet, while 10 3-cubic-foot bags of mulch will cover 30 cubic feet. Learning how to DIY mulch can save you money and help you repurpose natural items such as wood chips, pine needles, and leaves.

If you have a steep driveway, angular gravel, which is 3/4 to 2 inches in length, is a great choice. The stones won’t slide, allow for proper drainage, and stay in place even on the steepest slope.

There are two main times of year to apply mulch: mid to late spring and late fall. Spreading mulch in mid to late spring helps protect new seedlings as the soil warms up. It's best to wait until temperatures are steady, as mulching too early in the spring can slow down the soil's warming process and hinder plant growth. Fall mulching is also beneficial, as it insulates the soil and helps regulate its temperature when the first frosts arrive.

Generally, it is not necessary to remove old mulch before applying a new layer. As organic mulch breaks down, it enriches the soil with nutrients. However, you should remove the old layer if it shows signs of fungus or disease, which can be common in moist areas, or if the total depth is already too thick. Avoid letting the total mulch depth exceed 3 inches, as this can harm plant roots. If you do remove old, disease-free mulch, it can be added to a compost pile.

Rubber mulch costs an average of $90 per yard to replace, or $4 per foot. Costs vary based on the quality of the rubber mulch, manufacturer prices, and the cost of delivery and installation labor to lay it down. Consult a local mulch professional for a price quote on your specific installation project.
