I couldn’t be happier and will definitely have him back in the future. Eli was a pleasure to work with and understood what I was envisioning for my yard."

"Luis was able to locate my hidden sprinkler valves. Some of which were more than 18” deep. I had many other contractors tell me they couldn’t guarantee finding those valves. After finding those valves I requested he replace them above ground. I appreciated the fact that he worked with all my requests. Before replacing the valves he made sure the sprinklers for that valve were working correctly—very conscientious. He eliminated two valves after we discussed the situation and came to an agreement. He completely cleaned up the yard and put everything back in perfect order. I would definitely have Luis work on your irrigation."

"We worked with Sequoia for redoing our back yard with a new patio and artificial turf. Will was very easy to brainstorm with, helped us plan out the project, and kept the whole thing very organized. We had a deadline to be ready before a weekend party, and the crew worked in heat and rain to get done a full week ahead of the event. Everything looks crisp and professional, and was done in a steady, organized fashion without any surprises. I'm absolutely bringing them back for the work we need in the front yard."

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

You should exercise care when deciding how to landscape over a leach field for your septic system. You typically want lightweight materials that won’t damage the drain field’s perforated pipes. When adding plants to the area, select plants with shallow roots, such as grass or flower gardens. Trees with deep roots could damage the pipes in the field.

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.

You should add 1 to 4 inches of mulch, depending on your garden type and needs. Keep in mind that no amount of mulch can completely prevent weeds, but a heavier coverage (closer to 4 inches) can suppress weeds enough that you are only seeing them sprout every few weeks. Finer mulch prevents weeds more effectively than large mulch, so if you’re using mulched leaves or shredded bark, 1 to 2 inches will likely suffice, while 3 to 4 inches is best for larger mulch, like bark chips or straw.

While you don’t need to put anything down before mulch, you can apply a pre-emergent herbicide to prevent weed growth. As long as you remove weeds before you spread mulch, you should be in the clear. But a herbicide is something that you can put down before mulch as an extra layer of protection.

If you have a steep driveway, angular gravel, which is 3/4 to 2 inches in length, is a great choice. The stones won’t slide, allow for proper drainage, and stay in place even on the steepest slope.
