"The project went great! Sebastian was amazing. He and his guys transformed our yard to something beautiful. They cleaned up the whole hill side (removing all the weeds) , added compost, and planted new plants over the entire area. They also replaced our irrigation valves and repaired all of the sprinklers that needed it. They cleaned up other parts of the yard and mulched everything. It looks amazing!! So lucky I found them!!"

"Excellent! We extended 2 areas on each side of our pool to make it more usable for lounge chairs on one side and a table with 6 chairs on the other. I can highly recommend Kent Horner and his company for many reasons. They started the work quickly, showed up daily and on time until it was completed, had a large crew and fixed any issues that we had due to moving sprinklers and lights. Kent used a large excavator to level the areas himself over 3 days. When this part was done, the crew took away the grass and dirt and disposed it, prepped the areas and put in the retaining walls, pavers and drains. I really appreciated that Kent showed up every day to check on the progress and address any concerns. He said the job was priced a bit low because there was so much compacted hard soil. He didn’t try to up the price, he did the work for the price he quoted. Thank you so much Kent and CH Gardens for the wonderful job! It’s awesome!"

"Tropical Landscape's Filemon responded promptly to our request, came to access the stairs and fencing that needed repair, and presented the estimate in a timely manner. The project was completed to our satisfaction with only a slight increase in time spent and estimate. We are very pleased with the experience and would recommend Filemon to our neighbors."

"Jay and his team at Greenland did a great job for me! I would highly recommend them! They installed a paver walkway and patio in the backyard, including a border around my grass area. New sprinklers, new plants, weed barrier & pebble ground cover. We also did a dry riverbed in the front yard with plantings and sprinkler system. I’m very pleased. Thank you!"

"CJ's Landscaping 937-205-5178. Chad and Jon are really hard workers. They cleaned up and spiffed up our front and backyards. They don't charge us for every little thing and go out of their way to do things well. They point things out that need trimming and/or replacement, go above and beyond what's asked of them, and don't overcharge us... We got four quotes and they were very reasonable. Highly recommend them. This is the task list we asked of them. Front - Plant palm tree - Trim trees and bushes - Add mulch Back - Trim trees - Remove dead trees - Plant a couple trees - Add mulch - Aerate/reseed grass - Cleanup vines - Plant succulents - Power wash patio and retaining wall and re-stucco/repaint wall - Install solar lighting"

"The project went great. Once again the people over at Evo Turf did a great job. The price was great and the customer service was as good as we have ever had. I can honestly say that these guys are the best in the turf and paver business. I will recommend them to my friends and family. Now all we need is a basketball court.... Hopefully soon."

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

That depends on the number of cubic feet in each bag. Ten 2-cubic-foot bags of mulch will cover 20 cubic feet, while 10 3-cubic-foot bags of mulch will cover 30 cubic feet. Learning how to DIY mulch can save you money and help you repurpose natural items such as wood chips, pine needles, and leaves.

You should add 1 to 4 inches of mulch, depending on your garden type and needs. Keep in mind that no amount of mulch can completely prevent weeds, but a heavier coverage (closer to 4 inches) can suppress weeds enough that you are only seeing them sprout every few weeks. Finer mulch prevents weeds more effectively than large mulch, so if you’re using mulched leaves or shredded bark, 1 to 2 inches will likely suffice, while 3 to 4 inches is best for larger mulch, like bark chips or straw.

If you are xeriscaping a lawn from scratch, your best bet for preparing the lawn is to work with a xeriscaping specialist in your area. The most common first step to making the transformation, however, will be to remove the turfgrass from your lawn. The subsequent steps will often include amending the soil to support new plants and installing low-drip or drip irrigation systems.

The cost of 200 square feet of pea gravel depends on how deep your installation will be. The pea gravel material alone costs between $15 and $75 per cubic yard. You'll need just under two yards to cover 200 square feet to a depth of three inches, for a total cost of between $30 and $150.

Rocks are less likely to attract snakes and other critters because their prey (termites, ticks, and other insects) don’t usually inhabit this environment. However, if you have placed together rocks with large spaces in between or near a source of water, you may find a snake or an occasional chipmunk seeking shelter.
