Customers say: True professional

"I highly recommend Jesse of Rough Terrain Services. He is a very personable and responsible individual who possesses high integrity and skills. He was very responsive to my needs. He did an outstanding job in the Weedeating, brushing and tree work. He mad a number of burn piles which he then burned and monitored. Jesse was very reliable, arriving on time and providing professional service. I have highly recommended him to friends and neighbors in the North Fork and Oakhurst areas. I look forward to his working on our property in the future."

"We also want to highlight how professional and detail-oriented Andres and his team were throughout the entire project. From site preparation to the final finish, everything was done thoughtfully and with care. Andres kept the worksite organized, communicated clearly about timing and next steps, and followed through on everything discussed. Even small details like clean edges, consistent finishes, and overall layout were handled extremely well. It’s clear that Andres takes pride in his work and genuinely cares about delivering quality results. We appreciate his transparency, reliability, and strong work ethic, and we would not hesitate to hire A&A Lawn Care again for future projects."

"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

The number of bags of topsoil you need depends on the depth you’re filling. The average topsoil is sold in a roughly forty-pound bag, covering 12 square feet at a one-inch depth. Since topsoil is by nature the uppermost layer of soil, you can bet on only needing to fill about 4 to 8 inches of soil depth with it.

When it comes to which stone is better, crushed or natural gravel, it all depends on the project. Crushed stone is a great base and filler material for projects like retention walls, concrete slabs, driveways, pipes, and drains. Gravel is a common choice for visually attractive landscaping projects like walkways, above-ground drainage systems, patios, and garden borders.

The hydroseed mix—known as a slurry—helps grass seed take root in many ways. Water combines with the mulch, allowing the grass seed to stay moist while grounded in the soil. The extra fertilizer then provides the boost the seed needs to flourish. In just a few weeks, you'll be ready to break out the lawnmower again.

Yes, gravel comes in different sizes, from fine powder to pea-, coin-, and even golf ball-size. Pea gravel is about 3/8 inch, while crushed stone gravel is about 3/8 to 4 inches. Most companies use a numerical system to assign a size, with the smallest being #10 and the biggest being #1. 

That depends on the number of cubic feet in each bag. Ten 2-cubic-foot bags of mulch will cover 20 cubic feet, while 10 3-cubic-foot bags of mulch will cover 30 cubic feet. Learning how to DIY mulch can save you money and help you repurpose natural items such as wood chips, pine needles, and leaves.
