Fresh New Fruit specializes in food landscaping in San Diego. We install irrigation, teach harvesting and more. Weed abatement, water conservation, and local plants that use low water are all priorities. We do everything at a flat, fair rate and maintain the highest standards in the industry. http://www.freshnewfruit.com

"Jeremy is knowledgeable about plants but lacks integrity. He boasts knowledge about irrigation but continued to not fix any of the problems with my irrigation and added on more to the cost to troubleshoot until I was forced to reach out to someone who did know what they were doing who fixed the problem immediately while also noting that he hooked up the irrigation incorrectly. This cost me more money and I collected video proof of this which I sent to Jeremy who refused to acknowledge my email. Save yourself money and hassle."

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

Durable materials suited for climate include aluminum for coastal areas or composite wood in varying environments for durability and minimal upkeep.

Mid to late spring is the best time of year to mulch. If you do it too early in the spring, the mulch could slow down the warming process of the soil and affect how well plants grow. By mid to late spring the temperatures are usually steadying, making it an ideal time to spread mulch.

The best time to lay mulch depends on the type of mulch and the reason for installing it: 

  • Summer: Adding extra mulch helps soil retain moisture and keeps weeds at bay, allowing plants to thrive. 

  • Fall: Adding mulch helps control weeds and keeps soil and roots warm during the cooler months. Aim to add a layer of mulch 2 to 4 inches deep.

  • Winter: Mulch around perennial plants to help keep them insulated.

  • Spring: Wait until the ground has thawed. Depending on the thickness, add between 1 and 4 inches of mulch to provide freeze and rain protection and enrich the soil.

The best soil to put around a house foundation is fill dirt, which is soil that’s specifically designed for covering large areas and filling in holes. Don’t waste money regrading around your foundation with expensive topsoil. Use topsoil only for the last layer of soil, about 5 to 10 inches, so that when you do your foundation planting, your grass and plants will have the nutrients they need to grow.

The best equipment for moving large rocks from your yard depends on their size and weight. A heavy-duty wheelbarrow or a rock dolly can be effective for smaller boulders. A skid-steer loader or a mini-excavator with a grapple attachment provides the necessary power and control for larger, heavier rocks that you can’t lift manually. Professionals may use a larger excavator and ratchet hoist to remove larger boulders.
