"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

Costs vary, but you can expect to spend between $1,000 and $4,000 to prepare land for a mobile home or before you build a house. You’ll need to clear enough land for the foundation, which may require leveling or grading, as well as removing trees, stumps, and plants. Don’t forget to plan for permits and fees and the installation of a gas line, water line, and sewer main.

First, dig a hole that’s the same depth as the root ball and wide enough for the roots to spread out fully. Before placing the tree in the hole, pour water in to help get rid of any air pockets in the soil.

When filling the hole back in, opt for a 1:1 ratio of organic compost with the soil left over from the ground. Do not use potting soil, fertilizer, or chemicals of any kind, as these can stress out and kill your newly planted tree.

The time that it takes to fill in a pool with dirt varies based on the size of the pool and the equipment you have available. Using heavy equipment, like an excavator rather than a shovel, will significantly cut down on the time it takes to complete the project. With the right equipment, it may only take a day or two. However, after the initial filling, the dirt will continue to settle over the following weeks and months. You may need to add more dirt to make the empty area level with the rest of the yard.

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. 

Organic mulch typically lasts between 4 to 6 years. However, factors like the type of organic mulch you choose, mulch size, and weather conditions can all play a role in its longevity. In some cases, you’ll need to replace organic mulch every few years.
