"Brad is a horticulturist and was extremely helpful as we decided what plants and trees to use that were drought resistant and inviting to butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. Brad’s son, Dan, and worker Danny, were professional, efficient, and friendly. We had some changes and additions we decided to make as we watched the wonderful job they were doing, and they were most accommodating and provided some excellent suggestions. I would definitely use them again."

"We had a sprinkler leakage problem that Saul and his team solved during his visit. They came on time, did a thorough walkthrough of the property pointing issues and solutions. After a couple of days after their visit, I can say the problem is solved. I will definitely recommend Sola de Vega Landscaping for their professionalism and honesty doing their job."

"Brian and his crew were hardworking and knowledgeable. They listened to what we needed and provided it with friendly efficiency. We needed to tweak a couple of things, but there was no problem, and we are thrilled with the final results. We now have beautiful stable flagstones and a lush new lawn with a path. Brian followed up by coming by later to check on the new sprinkler system, and made the necessary adjustments. I would definitely recommend him, and have already done so."

"Roman and his crew did a great job replacing a portion of my wood fence that was falling down. He was right on time for both the estimate and the work. The workmanship was first rate and it was completed very quickly. The price was very reasonable - the lowest of 3 bids. I would definitely hire him again."

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Some drawbacks of forestry mulching include leaving behind a thick mulch layer, not being suitable for extremely rocky areas, creating conditions that attract pests, and not being able to fully remove large trees and stumps. You may need to pay extra to have larger trees felled and stumps ground in order to fully clear your land.

The cost of 200 square feet of pea gravel depends on how deep your installation will be. The pea gravel material alone costs between $15 and $75 per cubic yard. You'll need just under two yards to cover 200 square feet to a depth of three inches, for a total cost of between $30 and $150.

How tall your mulch should be around your tree depends on the type of mulch you use, but aim for 3 to 4 inches as a rule of thumb. You’ll want to avoid simply piling it up in hopes of offering additional benefits to your tree. Volcano mulching is the infamous term for piling way too much mulch against the stem of your tree. This could actually kill your tree or severely harm it, as your tree trunk needs space to breathe without too much moisture.
