I can't say enough good things about our experience with Bob Guthrie and Natural Aspect! Bob is extremely knowledgeable about plants and has many good ideas about yard design. He is very low-pressure and honest; in fact, several times he advised us against adding a project that would have...

They asked me if they could dump mulch and I said no because green mulch can be toxic to our horses and could kill them. They made a u-turn towards the dirt road dumped the mulch right after I told them not to. We now have 8 piles of mulch dumped on our site. It seems they are dumping...

"I reviewed Brothers Landscaping and Tree Service several years ago, but feel like it needs an updated review from me. Since my last review I have had Sebastian and crew landscape my yard. They did artificial turf with stepping stones, solid artificial turf, several retaining walls, pavers and a rock and sand hardscape feature with a garden path. He installed some french drains and I no longer have water running under my house, even with the two last wet winters we have had. He has also continued to trim my trees. Sebastian's eye for detail is superb and his workers work hard and take pride in their work. I will continue to use Brothers Landscaping for my yard."

Established in 1978. Robin Hilton Professional Land & Tree Maintenance was founded in beautiful San Diego, California. Our family company has been owned and operated since 1978. We pride ourselves on consistently striving to provide excellent service and client satisfaction.Our team is very knowledgeable about the pruning techniques for all variety of trees. We treat all of our properties with the utmost care.
"I am the President of our 16 unit HOA. We required over 10 very large trees (about 50 ft tall) removed and another 3 very tall trees trimmed. Robin Hilton Professional Land and Tree Maintenance provided a very reasonable estimate and won the bid. Given the scope of work, a team of 14 men showed up and were able to complete the work in one day. They removed debris by mulching it on site and trucking it away. All trees stumps were ground down 18 inches and evidence of trees removed was gone. What amazed me the most was how efficient, professional and experienced her team was. I was so impressed with the team, I had to buy them lunch. You would be crazy not to hire them. You will be so pleased with their work ethic that you may also consider buying them lunch. There aren't enough stars to rate this business so they get the max!"

FAQs for mulch and topsoil service projects in Descanso, CA
Topsoil costs from $12 to $55 per cubic yard, depending on the type you choose. For example, screened black dirt will cost about $15 per cubic yard. Loam (soil composed of sand, silt, and clay) costs about $17 per cubic yard. Standard screened topsoil costs about $20 per cubic yard. The type of topsoil you need depends on your landscaping plans.
Mulch costs anywhere from $30 to $150 per cubic yard, depending on the type you choose. On the inexpensive end, red and black mulch are about $35 to $40 per cubic yard, and are typically made from recycled waste wood like shredded old pallets or deck material. Cedar, cypress, and rubber mulch cost anywhere from $100 to $120 per cubic yard. A pro can help you determine the type of mulch most suitable for your landscaping needs.
Topsoil should go down first. If the topsoil is next to your house, make sure the grade slopes away from the house to keep water from pooling against your foundation and possibly leaking into your basement or crawl space. Don’t cover your decorative landscape mulch with topsoil as that defeats the purpose of laying down the mulch. If you’re trying to create a certain soil composition to improve plant growth, you’ll likely want compost mixed into the topsoil instead of mulch. Over time, any decorative wood mulch will simply decompose under the topsoil.
No, mulch itself does not necessarily attract termites even though it’s usually made of shredded wood. Some types of mulch like cedar or cypress resist termites because they’re toxic or unappetizing to the wood munchers. However, when the mulch is deep enough, say three inches or more, it creates a perfect habitat for insects of all kinds to build nests.
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.
