"Jose and Saul are not your average landscapers. They are well versed in landscape design, cement work, plant and legume knowledge, construction and property management. They have been in my employ for over twenty years. They are friendly, bilingual and timely in their appointments. I highly recommend Sola de La Vega!"

"Carlos is very responsive and professional. He said he'd be right over and he did. He listened to what I wanted to be done and gave me a quote. This is the second time he's done work for me and again I'm completely satisfied. He worked with his brother and son and they are just as meticulous and hard working as Carlos."

"I hired Brian and his team for this project and they went above and beyond my expectations. This project led to several others, mostly focused on my backyard Mindful Landscaping transformed my backyard from a chicken yard to a lovely, peaceful, and easy to maintain area. They added pebbles and stones and cleared weeds and mulched the beads, planted numerous plants and shrubs in pots, installed a small but beautiful lawn. Brian and crew also installed a whole new irrigation system in both yards. After another contractor, installed a new driveway for me, Brian and his helper, Steele designed and installed a pair of new gates between the front and back of the house. The gates have made a major difference in the curb appeal of my house. I can’t express my appreciation for the attention to detail and hard work that they put into all of the jobs. I would strongly recommend mindful landscapes for any landscaping, planting, or irrigation needs."

"We hired Green Magic to makeover our yard. I gave Geno a sketch and a "vision" of what we wanted and he made ir come to life! We were extremely pleased with how quickly the team worked, and how the finished project turned out, but most of all, with working with Geno. Green Magic truly transformed our yard into a space we can use and enjoy, just like magic!"

Mulch and Topsoil FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, you can put topsoil over sand to encourage grass growth. The topsoil will help to improve water retention and promote grass roots’ development, making it a recommended step of the seeding process. Adding a layer of topsoil will provide additional nutrients to the sandy soil, helping the grass grow and remain healthy through many seasons.

Depending on the size of the river rock and the density of your soil, add woven landscape fabric or sand under river rock. The extra layer will ensure your river rock sits evenly and doesn't create puddles or uneven areas throughout the design. In some cases, nothing is necessary beneath river rock, but be sure to speak with a landscaper to keep your landscaping looking sharp.

If you like the look of mulch in your plant beds, be aware that it can attract a variety of pests, including termites. To avoid wood-to-foundation contact, leave a one-foot barrier around your house and fill it in with rocks or gravel, starting mulch past that barrier and working it outward into your plant beds. 

You can fill the holes weeds leave behind with soil or sand to avoid unsightly spots or tripping hazards. If you remove weeds from a grassy area, fill the hole with soil and grass seed, and water regularly to promote grass growth.

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.
