Get matched with top mulch and topsoil pros in Moorpark, CA

Q: Can you mix small and large gravel?

• <div><p>Yes, and in many cases, you should. Large gravel works best as a base layer because it improves drainage and keeps the surface stable. A top layer of smaller gravel fills in gaps and creates a smoother, more compacted surface. This combination is common in driveways and high-traffic areas where both stability and comfort matter.</p></div>

Q: Is pea gravel good for driveways?

• <div><p>Yes, pea gravel is good for driveways as long as your driveway isn&rsquo;t built on a hill or any type of slope where it can slide. It&rsquo;ll settle on a flat surface and create a suitable driveway over time, though some spreading initially will take place. If you're wondering <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-make-gravel-driveway.htm">how to make a gravel driveway</a> in a high-rainfall area, using pea gravel could help you to cut down on costs needed for extra drainage solutions.</p></div>

Q: What are the cons of forestry mulching?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Can you lay pea gravel directly on dirt?

• <div><p>Yes, you can lay pea gravel directly on the dirt. First, dig a trench 2 to 6 inches deep the length and width of the area you want to cover. Plants and weeds will eventually grow through the pea gravel if you don&rsquo;t lay down landscaping cloth.</p></div>

Q: How often should you top up a gravel driveway?

• <div><p>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&mdash;and that&rsquo;s a good opportunity to install a layer of landscaping fabric before doing so. </p></div>

Al's Tree Service are real pros. We have a tight drive way and Al's drivers navigate it with no problems. We've had three mulch drops from them and we will not hesitate to get more. The mulch is incredibly clean, no trash in it, I've heard some mulch drops have a lot of trash/plastic with them....

The hardscape around the pool was great. Basically, they cemented the existing flagstones instead of having patches of grass and dirt around the pool. If the work stopped there, I would give them an A. Then they removed the brown lawn on the side of the house, created a drip system for the...
