"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."

"I had new tenants moving into my rental property and hired them to clean the place before they moved in. They did a great job and left everything looking clean and ready for the new tenants. They were professional, showed up on time, and made the whole process easy. Really happy with the work they did and I?ll definitely be using them again!"

"I hired Brian and his team for this project and they went above and beyond my expectations. This project led to several others, mostly focused on my backyard Mindful Landscaping transformed my backyard from a chicken yard to a lovely, peaceful, and easy to maintain area. They added pebbles and stones and cleared weeds and mulched the beads, planted numerous plants and shrubs in pots, installed a small but beautiful lawn. Brian and crew also installed a whole new irrigation system in both yards. After another contractor, installed a new driveway for me, Brian and his helper, Steele designed and installed a pair of new gates between the front and back of the house. The gates have made a major difference in the curb appeal of my house. I can’t express my appreciation for the attention to detail and hard work that they put into all of the jobs. I would strongly recommend mindful landscapes for any landscaping, planting, or irrigation needs."

"Our Realtor referred us to Ivanscaping, and we are thrilled with the results from Ivan and his hard-working team. We needed a yard makeover to help with the sale of our home, completely replacing a large, unhealthy front yard with a new design to enhance the curb appeal of our property. Ivan met with us and helped plan a new landscape that would minimize the grass area for easier watering, and create a new perimeter featuring drought-resistent plants. We found Ivan to be very experienced, patient, and thoughtful with his approach, supplying multiple samples of stone and mulch for our review, and offering his expert advice on how to achieve our goals. He helped rough in the new design by providing both a digital sketch and walking us through the yard to mark specific locations for the new features so we knew exactly what to expect. Ivan recommended some specific plants and grass for us based on photos we supplied, and took care of all the details—making the project very simple and"

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

You should add 1 to 4 inches of mulch, depending on your garden type and needs. Keep in mind that no amount of mulch can completely prevent weeds, but a heavier coverage (closer to 4 inches) can suppress weeds enough that you are only seeing them sprout every few weeks. Finer mulch prevents weeds more effectively than large mulch, so if you’re using mulched leaves or shredded bark, 1 to 2 inches will likely suffice, while 3 to 4 inches is best for larger mulch, like bark chips or straw.

A base layer is typically required when installing artificial grass, and the specific materials depend on the surface where the turf is being placed.

If you are installing artificial grass over soil, you should lay down a sub-base and a weed barrier.

  • Weed Barrier: A fabric weed barrier, weed membrane, or geo-textile paper is essential to prevent weeds from growing through and damaging the turf.

  • Sub-base: This layer provides drainage, support, and prevents the turf from sinking. Common materials include a mixture of gravel and sand, such as crushed miscellaneous base (CMB), decomposed granite, decomposed limestone, or a specifically mixed road base. Other options include silica sand and granite sand.

If you are placing turf over a hard surface like concrete, you can often skip the sub-base and use a padded underlayment or shock-absorbent material like astro-cushion for comfort and safety.

If you are unsure which materials are best for your specific project, it's a good idea to consult with an artificial turf installer.

If you’re mulching in the fall, aim to lay down the material right after the first frost, which will vary by climate. Late October and early November are good time ranges to aim for. Try to lay down your mulch after a light rainfall to lock in moisture for root growth through the winter.

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.

The landscaping elements that add the most value are often the basics. A well-maintained, attractive lawn can have a return on investment (ROI) of up to 217%. Routine lawn maintenance, such as edging and mulching, can provide an ROI of over 100%. Other high-value projects include upgrading your front walkway, which can offer a 100% ROI, and planting trees. Projects like adding decks, patios, outdoor lighting, irrigation systems, fire pits, and outdoor kitchens also add value and enjoyment, though their direct financial ROI may be less than 100% in some cases.
