"It went very well. New lawn, and plants were added to backyard. A brickwork planter was built in front side yard with trees and plants. A small cement sidewalk was added to backyard and some plant removal and tree pruning was done. Looks great! I’ve received lots of compliments."

"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."

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

Mulching any time of year can attract termites, so there’s no added risk in the fall. The important thing to remember is that termites are attracted to rotting wood, so you need to lay a thin enough layer that won’t trap too much moisture and lead to rotting. A layer between 1 and 4 inches thick should provide all the benefits you’re looking for without attracting termites.

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.

Timing is key when determining the best time to hydroseed your lawn. It’s best to hydroseed in the spring or fall due to the already wet conditions of your lawn and the more mild temperatures. 

Your local pro will also offer watering and fertilizer instructions for the months after your application. Make sure you will be available to water it consistently, especially in the first two to three weeks for best results.

Stump grindings are usually safe to use in soil, but in some cases, it’s not recommended. Wood chips in particular can bind nitrogen in the soil, which will make it difficult for grass to grow. That’s why it’s important to remove most wood chips and use healthy garden soil if you want to cover the stump spot with grass. Large wood chips may attract beetles and could encourage the growth of fungi when they decay, so you may want to remove them when using the grindings.

Beyond landscaping, limestone has multiple uses. For example, there are multiple pros and cons to limestone countertops, such as a lower cost compared to other types of stone and heat resistance. Limestone is also a key ingredient in limewash, a type of paint with a chalky texture. Other uses for limestone include siding, retaining walls, and mixed into cement.
