"Absolutely Thrilled with Valleyview Landscape and Maintenance! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I cannot say enough good things about Valleyview Landscape and Maintenance! I had a terrible, sinking driveway, and they completely ripped it out and replaced it with a brand-new one that looks absolutely flawless and perfectly level! While they were here, they also sealed my existing stamped concrete. To top it all off, they put up a gorgeous new little gate that fits the yard perfectly. Their team was professional, incredibly efficient, and their attention to detail was unmatched. If you want top-tier quality and an amazing crew, call Valleyview Landscape and Maintenance they completely transformed my property!"

"Completely exceeded my expectations. Very efficient; great prices and very friendly. I had moved into a rental that the yard was overgrown with weeds and couldn’t even go outside. Now my yard is gorgeous and safe for kids to play outside. I recommend to anyone that needs yard work. Definitely keeping them around to keep ours up to par. Very Happy!!"

"I hired this company to install new sod on my property they were really nice and professional and explained all the questions I had for the after care, I also contacted them a couple days after installation due to some corners on the patches turning dark or drying out and explain that since it?s real grass I had to give it a couple days or weeks to allow it to root well and new grass will grow. It?s been almost a month and my lawn looks great"

Mulch and Topsoil FAQs, answered by experts

Gravel is a versatile option for home projects. It is low-maintenance and cost-effective compared to other materials. In addition, gravel provides excellent drainage, reducing the risk of flooding in your yard or driveway. Pairing gravel with a weed barrier fabric during installation can mitigate the risk of weed growth.

Topsoil costs from $12 to $55 per cubic yard, depending on the type you choose. For example, screened black dirt will cost about $15 per cubic yard. Loam (soil composed of sand, silt, and clay) costs about $17 per cubic yard. Standard screened topsoil costs about $20 per cubic yard. The type of topsoil you need depends on your landscaping plans.

Top up your gravel driveway whenever water starts to pool in areas. This is bound to happen over time. You can be proactive and top up your driveway at the start of the warm season, and then check on it throughout the summer, particularly after heavy rainfall. Every few years, you should consider installing a new, clean layer of gravel—and that’s a good opportunity to install a layer of landscaping fabric before doing so.

Colored mulch can be bad for plants in that it robs them of nitrogen as it depletes the soil to break itself down. With this in mind, it’s a good idea to test your soil to check the nitrogen levels. If the nitrogen levels are low, use fertilizer with extra nitrogen or switch to regular mulch.

Another downside of colored mulch is if it’s heavily contaminated, it can contaminate the soil and damage your plants. To avoid this, look for the MSC certification logo on the mulch bag before purchasing.

Mulch costs anywhere from $30 to $150 per cubic yard, depending on several factors. On the lower end, common types like red and black mulch cost about $35 to $40 per cubic yard and are often made from recycled wood. More premium options like cedar, cypress, and rubber mulch can cost between $100 and $120 per cubic yard. The total cost is also influenced by delivery, which can be around $75 per cubic yard, though many companies provide a free estimate. It is generally cheaper to buy mulch in bulk and have it delivered, but buying it in bags may be more cost-effective for smaller areas. Other factors like the quantity you need, time of year, your geographical location, and professional installation will also affect the final price. Before getting quotes, it's a good idea to calculate how much mulch you need. A professional can help you determine the most suitable type for your landscaping needs.
