"This was a giant coastal hillside project with drainage, terracing, lighting, irrigation, walls built, stairs built, pet relief area created, and tons of rocks placed and plantings. Raul and his crew were top notch. They worked efficiently and quickly. The crew was clean and respectful. Raul was so easy to work with and took care of all the details that you want addressed. It could not have been easier! I would 100% recommend Raul for any landscape job you are looking for. He even has a maintenance crew for weekly upkeep!"

"Velasco Landscaping did an amazing job installing pavement at my property! From start to finish, the team was professional, efficient, and detail-oriented. The quality of the work exceeded my expectations, and the finished pavement looks fantastic—clean lines, solid craftsmanship, and it’s built to last. They were respectful of the space, cleaned up thoroughly after the job, and completed everything on time. I highly recommend Velasco Landscaping for anyone looking for top-notch paving work and reliable service. Definitely a 5-star experience!"

"We live on a hill in very rainy Scotts Valley and had three redwood retaining walls that were failing. David Stevenson and his crew replaced all three -- two with concrete blocks, one with wood -- for a reasonable price. They also updated our sprinkler system. They were very efficient, highly professional and always gave us notice of days and times they would be working (and actually did work those days and times). We will use them for future projects and have already recommended them to friends in Ben Lomond."

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

When laying gravel, it's often a good idea to apply a base layer, such as sand or crushed concrete. You may also want to layer a weed-blocking membrane on top of the base layer to prevent weeds and grass from sprouting up in your gravel driveway. Without the appropriate base layer, the gravel you lay may sink into the soil.

Although it’s not required to lay anything under mulch, it can help to put landscape fabric or plastic weed barrier down and lay mulch on top. The barrier helps keep weeds from growing up through your mulch. It also helps keep rodents and insects from burrowing into the ground underneath.

There are several reasons your grass may be dying that could be in or out of your control. The most common issues include poor drainage, under/overwatering, poor soil pH, low soil nutrients, low sunlight, or too much foot traffic.

How tall your mulch should be around your tree depends on the type of mulch you use, but aim for 3 to 4 inches as a rule of thumb. You’ll want to avoid simply piling it up in hopes of offering additional benefits to your tree. Volcano mulching is the infamous term for piling way too much mulch against the stem of your tree. This could actually kill your tree or severely harm it, as your tree trunk needs space to breathe without too much moisture.

Mulching any time of year can attract termites, so there’s no added risk in the fall. The important thing to remember is that termites are attracted to rotting wood, so you need to lay a thin enough layer that won’t trap too much moisture and lead to rotting. A layer between 1 and 4 inches thick should provide all the benefits you’re looking for without attracting termites.
