"Simon came for an estimate quickly and he and his crew got the job done the next day. They trimmed some trees and trimmed a large shrub that covers our front hillside. He was polite and friendly and they cleaned up pretty well afterwards. I’d definitely use him again."

"We needed a safer entrance for everyday use and accessibility, so Eran suggested building steps alongside a ramp. His crew built the structures at the same time, using rebar and proper slope calculations. The ramp has a gentle incline that meets code, and the broom finish provides good traction. The steps are wider than before, with a landing that improves access. City inspectors visited to check compliance, and the project passed. The combination design works well for our family and makes the entry more functional. It?s practical, durable, and complements the rest of the exterior improvements nicely."

"My wife and I have hired RainforestLA for four separate landscaping and design projects (turf, fence, concrete, stepping stones, etc.) and are always amazed with the final product. They do amazing quality work that lasts year after year. We could not recommend them more and look forward to hiring them again."

"I have had services through this company for over 12 years now. They’ve already provided excellent service, been loyal, and show up to get the job done. They also were able to landscape my front and backyard and do additional services beyond lawn maintenance. Easy to communicate with, and I am able to express what I would like done and they certainly deliver. They are knowledgeable about not only lawn service, but plantings and their sustainability for the valley heat. A definite recommendation!"

"Green Republic did an amazing job. They worked with us to give us what we wanted and within our budget. The work was fast. Seriously, their staff are fantastic. And extremely friendly. They completed the entire job in days. The best part about this is I’m pretty positive I now have the best front yard on my block. The neighbors continue to compliment the job and ask who did the work. Will totally be using them again when we start on the backyard."

"We couldn’t be happier with the way our cement, grass, and rock came out. We love our low maintenance yard. The Lanter Landscapes team was amazing to work with. They showed up on time, listened to our ideas, offered opinions and suggestions, worked within our budget, and were friendly and professional. Jesse gave us a time frame and broke the steps down so we knew when everything was going to be completed and would give us updates throughout the process. Edward shared his knowledge about our specific grass type, offered suggestions on specific fertilizers, made sure we approved items before moving to the next steps, and explained everything we needed to know step by step. Thank you again Lanter Landscapes! I can’t wait to recommend your work to others. Keep up the amazing work!!!"

Mulch and Topsoil FAQs, answered by experts

Delivery services save time and effort, ensuring precise quantities reach your site conveniently and reducing the physical strain of self-transportation and handling.

The best soil to put around a house foundation is fill dirt, which is soil that’s specifically designed for covering large areas and filling in holes. Don’t waste money regrading around your foundation with expensive topsoil. Use topsoil only for the last layer of soil, about 5 to 10 inches, so that when you do your foundation planting, your grass and plants will have the nutrients they need to grow.

Pea gravel can retain some heat, but it generally stays cooler than materials like concrete, asphalt, or stone pavers. Lighter-colored pea gravel reflects more sunlight and tends to stay cooler, while darker-colored gravel can absorb heat and become warmer to the touch.

When you purchase mulch for delivery, it’s usually by the cubic yard, so you’ll want to convert your space to cubic yards to get the right amount. First, determine the square footage of the area you want to cover, and then determine how deep the bed of mulch will be—a good rule of thumb is around three inches. Multiply your square footage in feet by the depth in inches and divide by 324. You may want to add a ½ to one additional cubic yard to ensure you have enough.

Seal bags firmly for materials like soil or mulch, store unused parts in dry and cool spaces to prevent decay and use material visually formed covers for extended periods.
