"Highly recommend Los Amigos! The owner David quickly became a trusted advisor for all of our landscaping needs, and has continued to be a resource for us going on 6 years now. Los Amigos has worked with us on many projects including custom landscaping for 2 homes. They offered everything we needed; gravel, decomposed granite, plants and sod. They continue to maintain landscaping at our current home and 2 of our rental properties. If there is ever an issue or emergency I know I can call them and get a solution right away, and always at a fair price. I recommended them to many of my clients as well. Everyone has been overjoyed with their work and professionalism. If you’re looking for a reliable landscaper look no further!"

Mulch and Topsoil FAQs, answered by experts

Timing is key when determining the best time to hydroseed your lawn. It’s best to hydroseed in the spring or fall due to the already wet conditions of your lawn and the more mild temperatures. 

Your local pro will also offer watering and fertilizer instructions for the months after your application. Make sure you will be available to water it consistently, especially in the first two to three weeks for best results.

Durable materials suited for climate include aluminum for coastal areas or composite wood in varying environments for durability and minimal upkeep.

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.

Basic kits exist, but professional soil engineers provide in-depth analysis and construction recommendations.
