Should I use mulch on a topped tree?

• <div><p>A light layer of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/best-tree-mulch.htm">mulch can help protect a tree</a>, retain moisture, and keep the soil healthy. However, it’s important to avoid over-mulching or piling the mulch up around the trunk of a tree, a practice notoriously called “volcano mulching.” That piled mulch can increase the chances of rot and disease on the tree trunk as well as overwhelming the soil, which needs access to a certain amount of air. Topped trees have it hard enough: mulch sparingly while they heal.</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>

Q: Can I also get installation services with my material delivery?

• <div><p>Many suppliers offer installation services, either directly or through reliable subcontractors. Discuss these needs when ordering, as they may require additional scheduling or payment.</p></div>

Q: Are there environmental considerations in site preparation?

• <div><p>Key considerations include dust control, soil erosion prevention, and protecting local wildlife habitats through sustainable clearing practices.</p></div>

Q: What are the disadvantages of mulching leaves?

• <div><p>If you have a lot of trees around your home, mulching all those leaves can smother the lawn. Air and light won't reach the grass and soil if too many leaves have been mulched. Turf grass and other lawn problems can arise if the weather is too wet and excessive leaves have been mulched.</p></div>

Easy Seasons has done work for us every summer over the past 6 years from re-edging, planting, concrete work, building a fence, re-sodding, and mulching. We love their work and highly recommend them.

Great experience! Owner set up time to look at project, showed up, gave me an estimate and the dates he could complete. Barely knew he was there (no damage to grass during the laying of 7 tons of rock, plus mulch). Highly recommend! And just super nice person!

The work was performed in a very timely way. It was near the end of the season and the guys really hustled to finish before the snow flew. While we are extremely happy with much of the work, we specifically requested significant topsoil in our rock garden/perennial bed and got the typical 3and...

Drew's estimate visit was free. Since we already had a design for the landscape, Drew was flexible in adjusting his price to use our design and to buy plants and mulch that would keep us at $2500. (We found this flexibility rare among the landscapers we consulted.) At each step, Drew was...
