"We love and highly recommend Oasis Turf and Hardscape for your lawn and design needs. They came in and built concrete edging for our flower bed, they prepared the soil and installed artificial turf. We absolutely love ho it turned out. The staff were very professional and after the job was completed they left the area clean."

"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!"

"Privado put in new sprinkler valves, a new control box, and drip irrigation for 12 potted plants. They also capped 7 buried sprinkler heads that were covered by the work of another contractor when we had our lawn replaced and crushed granite brought in to replace the back lawn. The work was done in a couple of days and was completed so neatly and the ground restored completely. I would not hesitate to recommend their work to anyone contemplating this type of job."

Mulch and Topsoil FAQs, answered by experts

Each bag of mulch includes 2 cubic feet of mulch. And since a cubic yard is about 27 cubic feet of materials, you'll need 14 bags of mulch to have enough to cover a cubic yard. The right amount of mulch for your yard, however, depends on the depth of the mulch, the type of mulch you choose, and your desired look.

Yes, weeds can still grow in decomposed granite. If properly compacted, it can act as a good weed suppressant, meaning you’ll only pull weeds occasionally. But no ground cover is completely weed-proof. To further prevent weeds, you can try spraying your decomposed granite with distilled white vinegar.

While you don’t need to put anything down before mulch, you can apply a pre-emergent herbicide to prevent weed growth. As long as you remove weeds before you spread mulch, you should be in the clear. But a herbicide is something that you can put down before mulch as an extra layer of protection.

Yes, you can put new mulch over old mulch, since it’s decomposable. The only reason you should remove old mulch before laying new mulch would be to maintain a certain aesthetic. 

Ensure clear delivery pathways, remove obstacles, and prepare to cover surfaces to protect landscaping areas. Coordinating with the provider for an estimated arrival prepares punctuality.
