Get matched with top mulch and topsoil pros in Strawberry, CA

Q: Can you mix small and large gravel?

• <div><p>Yes, and in many cases, you should. Large gravel works best as a base layer because it improves drainage and keeps the surface stable. A top layer of smaller gravel fills in gaps and creates a smoother, more compacted surface. This combination is common in driveways and high-traffic areas where both stability and comfort matter.</p></div>

Q: Is colored mulch more expensive?

• <div><p>It depends. High-end colored mulch can be fairly costly. However, you'll have to replace less-expensive natural mulches, like pine needles and cedar mulch, more frequently. </p><p>The cost is balanced out somewhat, though, as although you'll have to replace colored mulch less often, you'll have to replenish nutrients in your soil more frequently to make up for the decrease in organic matter and nitrogen from the mulch.</p></div>

Q: What is the most profitable part of landscaping?

• <div><p>A well-maintained lawn has the most ROI when it comes to landscaping. Other enhancements, such as building a deck or patio and adding a front walkway, follow suit, but aiming to enhance the basics is where your home can truly shine and increase its profitability. Not only does it increase curb appeal, but it sets potential homebuyers up for landscaping success when they have a healthy, clean slate of grass to begin with.</p></div>

Q: How long does mulch last?

• <div><p>Replace organic mulch every <b>one to two years</b>, depending on the variety. Wood chips and straw, for example, will last a couple of years, while grass clippings and pine needles need replacing every several months. Inorganic mulch&mdash;such as rock and rubber chips&mdash;can stay in place for up to four years, depending on erosion and general garden upkeep. </p></div>

Q: What should you put underneath artificial grass?

• <div><p>Artificial turf usually requires some sort of base. If you&rsquo;re installing the grass over soil, you&rsquo;ll want to add a weed barrier (weeds can damage your fake grass) and an artificial grass sub-base . Typically, this is a mixture of gravel and sand, like crushed miscellaneous base (CMB) or decomposed granite. If you're placing turf over concrete, you can skip the sub base and use a padded underlayment.</p></div>

"I can't say enough good things about Jesse & Hannah. They are extremely attentive to every detail on my property as well as with billing. They not only regularly maintain the landscaping of my vacation rental property but have also made significant upgrades to the landscaping too.
