"My project went great and I am very pleased. There was a lot of vegetation to trim up, clean up, pick up and my yard looked so great when they were finished!

"We love and highly recommend Oasis Turf and Hardscape for your lawn and design needs. They came in and built concrete edging for our flower bed, they prepared the soil and installed artificial turf. We absolutely love ho it turned out. The staff were very professional and after the job was completed they left the area clean."

"Fernando and his crew were on time, polite and professional. He kept me informed on project and cleaned up after project was done. The backyard sod and sprinkler system look great he followed up to check how grass was doing. I would recommend and hire Fernando@Rainbow landscaping again."

"I am absolutely thrilled with the exceptional work performed by Vega Landscape on my recent hardscape and landscape project. From the initial consultation with the owner, Nick Vega, to the final reveal, the entire experience was nothing short of outstanding.  Nick's design consultation was incredibly insightful as he took the time to listen to my vision and offered creative and innovative solutions that exceeded my expectations. From beautifully poured concrete, smooth stucco walls, IPE wood fencing, artificial turf installation and modern pavers, the execution was flawless with impeccable craftsmanship. And let's not forget the plants! The plants Nick chose were everything I wanted and more, especially because I love seeing birds, bees and butterflies in my front and back yard. The final result has completely transformed my outdoor space. It is now a stunning and functional extension of my home, perfect for hanging out and enjoying the outdoors. The project significantly increased the curb appeal of my home and created a more private and relaxing outdoor living space. I am incredibly grateful to Vega Landscape for their expertise, professionalism, and dedication to creating such a beautiful and enduring space. I highly recommend Vega Landscape to anyone considering a hardscape or landscape project. They are truly the best in the business. I particularly appreciated Nick's consistent involvement throughout the entire project, from the initial design to the final completion."

"Javier and his team were friendly, very competent, and cost effective. They were easy to work with and performed all aspects of the job extremely well and timely. They performed multiple tasks - drain clearing, concrete removal and replacement, drain repairs, paver repairs, and paver sealing. They kept us informed throughout the project. I would hire them again!"

"Landscape Locators has been great from the start. I was impressed with how they used technological imaging to view my yard to give me a quote. It rained on the day the gardeners were supposed to start and instead of skipping that week, I was notified by email that they would come the following day instead! This was also very positive since my previous gardeners never did that. I mentioned to them a few plants that needed to be trimmed when they were able to, and to my surprise, they got it all done on the first day. They really put in quality time (1 hour) and deserve the 5 stars I gave them! I highly recommend this company if you re looking for better than average gardeners."

Mulch and Topsoil FAQs, answered by experts

The best size river rock for your landscaping project depends on how you plan to use the stones. Generally, most river rocks used in landscaping are between 1/2 and 8 inches in diameter. For walkways and pathways, smaller rocks between 1 and 3 inches are suitable. For water features, medium-sized stones from 2 to 5 inches often work best. Garden beds can benefit from a mix of medium and large stones, ranging from 3 to 8 inches. These sizes can cover applications like decorative flower beds and drainage areas around foundations or retaining walls. For added visual interest, landscapers sometimes intersperse smaller river rocks with large boulders.

Permits depend on local regulations concerning street use and public spaces. Check requirements with community authorities to avoid fines or logistical issues.

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.

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.

Yes, most providers offer pickup and delivery as part of the service. Confirm with your contractor.
