"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."

"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

Generally, you want the soil for your edible plants to have good drainage, organic matter for nutrients, a loose texture (like loam soil), and a balanced pH level. However, the type of plants you're growing will dictate the exact characteristics your soil needs to thrive. For example, brussels sprout prefers more acidic soil, while broccoli prefers more alkaline soil. 

Some drawbacks of forestry mulching include leaving behind a thick mulch layer, not being suitable for extremely rocky areas, creating conditions that attract pests, and not being able to fully remove large trees and stumps. You may need to pay extra to have larger trees felled and stumps ground in order to fully clear your land.

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.

Hydroseeding is a great option for sloped yards, as sod might not root as well. Hydroseeding also traditionally creates sprouts faster than normal seeding—up to a full week faster. Additionally, you can customize your slurry mix with hydroseed, allowing you to create a mixture that will work specifically for your yard’s conditions. 

It’s important to remember that hydroseeded lawns require a lot of water during the first few weeks of installation, which can be time-consuming and costly. Additionally, the installation window tends to be shorter than that of sod and traditional grass. 

There should be a 1-inch thick layer of sand underneath your pavers in order to provide a proper base.
