"Emanual ( owner of M&D Landscsping) and his crew were fantastic, and among the best contractors I have ever worked with. Emanual is smart, pleasant and willing to do jobs large and small, whatever is needed. Moreover he is flexible and can add on jobs as they come up during the work. Many Landscaping projects are hard to predict exactly what is needed at the start, and his flexibility made it possible to be extremely happy with the outcome. I could not recommend them more highly!!"

"I had new tenants moving into my rental property and hired them to clean the place before they moved in. They did a great job and left everything looking clean and ready for the new tenants. They were professional, showed up on time, and made the whole process easy. Really happy with the work they did and I?ll definitely be using them again!"

"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!"

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

Hardscaping often requires preparation of the ground in the area where the feature is being installed. This can include digging, compacting, and leveling the soil, ensuring adequate drainage, and removing any existing plants. The extent of preparation needed will depend on the type and size of the hardscaping feature being installed.

If you hire a professional landscaper, you could expect to pay between $90 and $660 to install three cubic yards of river rock. (That’s based on the average river rock installation cost of $30 to $220 per cubic yard.) However, the exact price depends on the kind of river rock you choose. Crushed limestone and riprap are some of the more affordable options, while boulders and Arizona river rock are pricier.

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.

Mulch is best used in garden beds and yards, not in your driveway as pothole filler. It is meant to stimulate plant growth. Upon repeated pressure, it turns into compost, which also serves as fertilizer for weeds to take over. The roots will then break into your driveway, leading to more material loss and structural collapses.

The depth of your decomposed granite depends on its intended use, but around 3 to 4 inches is the most common depth. Driveways that need to support a lot of weight should be at a depth of no less than 6 inches. Walkways that won’t see a lot of weight but lots of foot traffic should be built at a depth of 3 to 4 inches, and patios should also be between 3 and 4 inches deep.
