"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."

"He called me within an hour and we set up an appointment. He knew I was going into surgery soon and needed the job done as soon as possible. He hauled away a truckload of yard waste and took it to the dump. He was polite, very professional and cleaned up the whole mess thoroughly. I will definitely use him again."

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

Mulching any time of year can be beneficial, so you can choose based on your preference. Most homeowners avoid the winter and summer because of the uncomfortable temperatures, so spring and fall are often best. Try not to mulch right before heavy rainfall or a big storm is expected, as wind and runoff can move newly laid mulch around and make more work for you.

While they’re popular and have a lot of pros, the cons of river rocks include the following:

  • River rocks don’t break down or provide nutrients to plants. 

  • These stones can get hot and scorch nearby plants. 

  • River stones may heat the surrounding soil to inhospitable temperatures. 

  • Rocks can block rainwater from seeping into the ground if installations are too thick or tightly packed.

Most downsides occur when using river rock as mulch in gardens and flower beds. However, you can still incorporate river rocks into your landscape as long as you use them in the correct ways.

A 50-pound bag of pea gravel equals approximately one-half of a cubic foot. That amount will cover a three-square-foot area to a depth of about two inches. A three-square-foot area with equal-length sides is approximately 1.73 feet by 1.73 feet, or about 20.75 inches on each side.

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.

Mulch costs anywhere from $30 to $150 per cubic yard, depending on several factors. On the lower end, common types like red and black mulch cost about $35 to $40 per cubic yard and are often made from recycled wood. More premium options like cedar, cypress, and rubber mulch can cost between $100 and $120 per cubic yard. The total cost is also influenced by delivery, which can be around $75 per cubic yard, though many companies provide a free estimate. It is generally cheaper to buy mulch in bulk and have it delivered, but buying it in bags may be more cost-effective for smaller areas. Other factors like the quantity you need, time of year, your geographical location, and professional installation will also affect the final price. Before getting quotes, it's a good idea to calculate how much mulch you need. A professional can help you determine the most suitable type for your landscaping needs.
