"I couldn’t be happier with the work Ibarra Landscape did on my property. From start to finish, they were professional, punctual, and attentive to detail. The crew transformed my yard beautifully — the lawn looks lush and clean, and the new plants and stonework really made a difference."

"I recently hired Ernie and George with Bluestar to bid and ultimately complete what I am calling "phase 2" of my backyard. I put a pool in when I first moved in 2 years ago and the second half and both sides of the house were unfinished. I had unfortunately worked with shrubhub to design something and that experience is one I wouldn't recommend. That said, I worked with blue star to come up with a design that was within my budget (after some back and forth and cutting a few things out) which was not huge. They were both super flexible, understanding, great listeners, detail-focused, and I ended up with a phenomenal phase two! I was happy with the experience overall and would definitely recommend Blue Star."

"Mark and his crew did and excellent job with installing pavers in my backyard. He told me it would take 3 days and they were finished in 3 days. They cleaned up after themselves which I have had contractors before leave their empty water bottles and food wrappers behind. Mark and his crew are professional, friendly and hard workers. I had used Mark 13 years ago when I bought this home and they did a great job with the front of the house. It is unrecognizable from what I had purchased. I was so glad he did not retire and was happy that he was still on Angi's list for me to hire. Great work team."

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

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.

Each bag of mulch includes 2 cubic feet of mulch. And since a cubic yard is about 27 cubic feet of materials, you'll need 14 bags of mulch to have enough to cover a cubic yard. The right amount of mulch for your yard, however, depends on the depth of the mulch, the type of mulch you choose, and your desired look.

This will depend on the depth of the structure. For a landscape, patio, or walkway that’s around 2 inches deep, a ton of gravel will cover around 100 square feet or about 0.6 cubic yards. However, if you’re building a driveway, which should be a minimum of 12 inches deep, you’d need about 6 tons of gravel to cover the same area.

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.

The best size river rock for your landscaping project depends on how you plan to use the stones. Generally, most river rocks used in landscaping are between 1/2 and 8 inches in diameter. For walkways and pathways, smaller rocks between 1 and 3 inches are suitable. For water features, medium-sized stones from 2 to 5 inches often work best. Garden beds can benefit from a mix of medium and large stones, ranging from 3 to 8 inches. These sizes can cover applications like decorative flower beds and drainage areas around foundations or retaining walls. For added visual interest, landscapers sometimes intersperse smaller river rocks with large boulders.
