"TrueCare Landscaping gave a very reasonable quote. They showed up promptly. They worked so hard and professionally. The front yard and back yard look AMAZING. They got rid of old mulch, weeds, huge WEEDS, wild honeysuckle everywhere, climbing vines, and trimmed treees. Then they put down new mulch and straighten the rocks. They cleaned up afterwards, and gave tips for keeping the yard in shape. They advised what to do next and in the spring. I will hire them again for future projects. I recommend them to others needing landscaping. You will be happy."

"Perfect experience! Life Outdoors crew started and ended on-time and did a fabulous job. They re-did my front lawn after I had the lawn dug up to install a backflow valve and fix a water leak. The law looks better than new now. Life Outdoors crew are highly experienced and dependable. The job they did was second to none from start to finish. If you have a landscaping job in mind, I highly recommend them."

"Very well. They were in and out. They arrived on time, I didn't see any slacking. The job was done lickety split, and they cleaned up after themselves. I'm very pleased with the results, and I've already spoken to a few neighbors who've commented on how nice my landscaping looks. I've also added a post to Nextdoor, and there are commenters who indicate that they'll be giving Frankie's a call."

"Even though they had to come back to add more mulch, they did so willingly to make sure we were satisfied. They were very easy to work with and made sure we got what we wanted. The only problem we had was their payment plan, Square. It was slow in verifying that our payment had gone through their bank."

"Corey came out to see a property I was looking at purchasing. Corey absolutely over delivered. I can not thank this team enough for their expertise. I was on a super short timeline and they got on-site the next day (which was a Sunday). These guys are awesome and I can not recommend them enough."

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

The most important thing to put under a rock garden is the appropriate soil. The specific soil needed will depend on the type of plants you’re growing as well as the environment you live in. You can also put non-woven or woven fabric under the rocks to add to the garden's structural stability.

Topsoil should go down first. If the topsoil is next to your house, make sure the grade slopes away from the house to keep water from pooling against your foundation and possibly leaking into your basement or crawl space. Don’t cover your decorative landscape mulch with topsoil as that defeats the purpose of laying down the mulch. If you’re trying to create a certain soil composition to improve plant growth, you’ll likely want compost mixed into the topsoil instead of mulch. Over time, any decorative wood mulch will simply decompose under the topsoil.

Yes, rotting leaves can be good for your soil. The decaying leaves release nutrients into the soil that can boost the health of your plants, and the organic matter also helps improve airflow and water drainage.

You should add 1 to 4 inches of mulch, depending on your garden type and needs. Keep in mind that no amount of mulch can completely prevent weeds, but a heavier coverage (closer to 4 inches) can suppress weeds enough that you are only seeing them sprout every few weeks. Finer mulch prevents weeds more effectively than large mulch, so if you’re using mulched leaves or shredded bark, 1 to 2 inches will likely suffice, while 3 to 4 inches is best for larger mulch, like bark chips or straw.

The hydroseed mix—known as a slurry—helps grass seed take root in many ways. Water combines with the mulch, allowing the grass seed to stay moist while grounded in the soil. The extra fertilizer then provides the boost the seed needs to flourish. In just a few weeks, you'll be ready to break out the lawnmower again.
