"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."

"Our front yard needed some structure. Gadi helped design and build two entry pillars in stone masonry, plus a new walkway to the door. The old path was narrow and cracked, and the new one is wide and fits the property better. The pillars gave us a real entrance feel. They also ran low-voltage lights inside the pillars so they light-up at night. It's not flashy, just clean and sharp. The stone matches the front steps, and everything feels like it belongs now. Gadi and his crew kept things simple and stuck to our request. Would work with them again."

"This is the second review I am writing for RainforestLA in reference to a second job they have just completed for my wife and I. We can now confidently say that our backyard is now the most aesthetically pleasing part of our house, as well as the most enjoyable part in which to spend time, thanks to the beautiful work done by Yosef and his guys at RainforestLA. They produced quality work quickly. As has been our experience, Yosef kept us up-to-date with daily progress reports. Because of our earlier experience with the company, we felt free to trust their suggestions and my wife and I are, once again, extremely grateful to RainforestLA for transforming our backyard into the perfect place to lounge. We plan on hiring them again, and cannot recommend enough."

"Everything looks great. Rigo is totally responsive to any requests. His prices are more than reasonable for his crew's high quality work. We had quotes for over twice what he charges us for weekly service by people who can't hold a candle to him in terms of quality."

"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

You should exercise care when deciding how to landscape over a leach field for your septic system. You typically want lightweight materials that won’t damage the drain field’s perforated pipes. When adding plants to the area, select plants with shallow roots, such as grass or flower gardens. Trees with deep roots could damage the pipes in the field.

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. 

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.

The best way to keep dirt around your foundation is to ensure your drainage is working properly and redirecting water well away from the foundation. Soil erosion is one of the most common causes of basement flooding, so it’s important to make sure you’re retaining the soil you replaced after learning how to regrade around the foundation. In addition, your foundation planting can also help prevent erosion. For example, plant roots to help keep soil in place.

Food-grade diatomaceous earth is a natural product that comes from diatoms—fossilized aquatic organisms from tens of millions of years ago. Food-grade diatomaceous earth is considered "natural," while pool or filter-grade diatomaceous earth has been treated and transformed to have higher crystalline silica content.
