"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!"

"Our front yard project was completed on 4/01/22. Made an appointment with Javier and discussed our project with him in person. Javier was so personable, honest, and knowledgeable, not only with landscape options, but also with nursery products. He took out our old sprinkler system and replaced it with drip line for our entire yard, Then sod, weed cloth, and 4 1/2 tons of cobblestones which accented our existing hedges and synthetic front lawn. His entire crew were very hard working, friendly, and dedicated to finish our project to perfection. We met Javier's wife who dropped off some materials, and she was so friendly, just like Javier. We would rate Javier and his entire crew with ten stars!!! If you want an honest, dedicated landscape company, with excellent professional results, All Exclusive Custom Landscapes should be your choice. My wife and I are absolutely thrilled with the outcome of our project and strongly recommend this company. Thank you Javier and crew."

"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 amount of soil you’ll need around your foundation depends on a variety of factors, but in general, you want a 6-inch decline over the first 10 feet extending out from your foundation. How much soil it will take to achieve that will depend on the current grade of the yard, how much foundation is exposed, and the size of your home.

The right depth depends on your intended use for the area. For instance, pea gravel for walkways and patios typically only needs to be about 2 to 3 inches deep. However, driveways and other areas with heavier loads may require 4 to 6 inches for better stability.

While they’re popular and have a lot of pros, the cons of river rocks include the following:

  • River rocks don’t break down or provide nutrients to plants. 

  • These stones can get hot and scorch nearby plants. 

  • River stones may heat the surrounding soil to inhospitable temperatures. 

  • Rocks can block rainwater from seeping into the ground if installations are too thick or tightly packed.

Most downsides occur when using river rock as mulch in gardens and flower beds. However, you can still incorporate river rocks into your landscape as long as you use them in the correct ways.

There are a few ways you can reduce the cost of mulch delivery, including the following:

  • Place your order in the winter months for spring delivery

  • Choose a more affordable mulch color

  • Opt for a more affordable type of mulch

  • Place larger orders to get a lower cost per cubic foot

  • Opt to lay your own mulch to save on installation costs

  • Add on other delivery or landscaping services to save on travel costs

  • Prepare a single delivery site in the front of your property, and use a wheelbarrow to move smaller quantities 

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.
