"I moved into a rental with nothing but dirt, thorns and foxtails in the backyard, which was horrible for my dog. So I called a few companies, one being Rough Terrain and they came out and gave me the most reasonable quote for half of the yard!!! Jesse came out and had it completed in one day and it looks FANTASTIC! Super friendly and professional young man and so was his assistant!"

"The first person, Tony, we dealt with was awesome! Unfortunately he moved on and left the company. We had signed a contract and paid a $1000 deposit but never heard from anyone. I finally reached out to the owner and he put us on the calendar to start work in a couple of weeks. We then went through multiple supervisors for our backyard makeover. None were half as knowledgeable as Tony. Finally had to call the owner out. He did make things right but not like it could have been."

"I was very pleased with Mountain Ridge and the work they got done on our property. Not only is it a blessing to interact with Jeremaia, but he brings a good and positive attitude along with very hard work. I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of tree work/ brushing Mountain ridge was able to get done in a short period of time. I will certainly use them again. If you want to hire someone who is hard working, respectful and trustworthy, I would recommend Mountain ridge."

Mulch and Topsoil FAQs, answered by experts

It depends on the model of your pool. You’ll always have to level the topsoil, but most vinyl-lined pools require an additional 1- to 2-inch layer of sand to protect the liner. This way, when a foot kicks down to the bottom of your pool, it’s not scraping the liner against the hard ground. If your pool isn’t vinyl-lined, you can skip this step or add a layer of another base material, like decomposed granite. Always check your manufacturer’s instructions before you begin.

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.

Yes, and in many cases, you should. Large gravel works best as a base layer because it improves drainage and keeps the surface stable. A top layer of smaller gravel fills in gaps and creates a smoother, more compacted surface. This combination is common in driveways and high-traffic areas where both stability and comfort matter.

It depends. High-end colored mulch can be fairly costly. However, you'll have to replace less-expensive natural mulches, like pine needles and cedar mulch, more frequently. 

The cost is balanced out somewhat, though, as although you'll have to replace colored mulch less often, you'll have to replenish nutrients in your soil more frequently to make up for the decrease in organic matter and nitrogen from the mulch.

Mulch is best used in garden beds and yards, not in your driveway as pothole filler. It is meant to stimulate plant growth. Upon repeated pressure, it turns into compost, which also serves as fertilizer for weeds to take over. The roots will then break into your driveway, leading to more material loss and structural collapses.
