"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 questions, answered by experts

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.

You should use mulch because it protects garden soil in a few key ways. This extra layer between the ground and the elements protects against erosion, helps your soil maintain moisture, regulates changes in temperature, adds nutrients as it decomposes, and keeps weeds at bay.

The most important thing to put under a rock garden is the appropriate soil. The specific soil needed will depend on the type of plants you’re growing as well as the environment you live in. You can also put non-woven or woven fabric under the rocks to add to the garden's structural stability.

Most experts recommend a quarter-inch layer of compost for best results, and you will need about .77 cubic yards of material per 1,000 square feet. To measure how much compost to use, take the square footage of your yard and multiply it by .77, then divide that number by 1,000.

Depending on the size of the river rock and the density of your soil, add woven landscape fabric or sand under river rock. The extra layer will ensure your river rock sits evenly and doesn't create puddles or uneven areas throughout the design. In some cases, nothing is necessary beneath river rock, but be sure to speak with a landscaper to keep your landscaping looking sharp.
