"Amazing work! Franklin Landscaping called me within 24 hours, gave a below-anticipated quote, and began work the same day. They returned the very next day to complete the project. Every recommendation the company made was economical and only improved upon our original plans. In addition, we added other requests at the end of the second day and those were immediately accommodated. This was not a small job. Franklin Landscaping created and mulched flowerbeds, trimmed a tree, planted new landscaping, create tree groves from a tree line, and graded/ seeded/ covered bare areas of the lawn. Best of all, the owner and staff are friendly and extremely easy to work with. We looked forward to seeing them. I will use both Home Advisor and Franklin Landscaping in the future."

"After interviewing several companies, I knew Isaac Branham was who I was going to hire. He did a walk around with me and I could tell he knew his plants, how to take care of them and he emphasized his employees were also knowledgeable of landscape maintenance. Some of the other people I interviewed seemed to mainly mow lawns, but were not as knowledgeable at plant maintenance. Isaac's crew has been to my home to perform the maintenance and their work was excellent. They even fluffed my mulch, which made it look like it had just been laid. I strongly recommend considering Branham Yard Outfitters for your landscape maintenance needs."

"The people who came out were friendly and did a pretty good job.  I signed up for a special $99 yard clean-up deal.  They were a little slow about setting up the appointment, I think they had recently lost a receptionist.  Although I told them before they came that one of the things I wanted them to do was to clear the poison ivy out of my mulch bed, once they got there they said that they couldn't do that because they hadn't brought their protective gear, and that they didn't usually do that as part of the $99 deal.  Someone said that she would get back to me about rescheduling the poison ivy work but she didn't.  I called them a couple of weeks later and spoke to David (I think) who said that he would check his schedule when he got back to the office and let me know when they could come back out to do the poison ivy removal, but he never contacted me.

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

A light layer of mulch can help protect a tree, 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.

A base layer is typically required when installing artificial grass, and the specific materials depend on the surface where the turf is being placed.

If you are installing artificial grass over soil, you should lay down a sub-base and a weed barrier.

  • Weed Barrier: A fabric weed barrier, weed membrane, or geo-textile paper is essential to prevent weeds from growing through and damaging the turf.

  • Sub-base: This layer provides drainage, support, and prevents the turf from sinking. Common materials include a mixture of gravel and sand, such as crushed miscellaneous base (CMB), decomposed granite, decomposed limestone, or a specifically mixed road base. Other options include silica sand and granite sand.

If you are placing turf over a hard surface like concrete, you can often skip the sub-base and use a padded underlayment or shock-absorbent material like astro-cushion for comfort and safety.

If you are unsure which materials are best for your specific project, it's a good idea to consult with an artificial turf installer.

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.

Most experts recommend a quarter-inch layer of compost for best results, and you will need about .77 cubic yards of material per 1,000 square feet. To measure how much compost to use, take the square footage of your yard and multiply it by .77, then divide that number by 1,000.

You can choose from various kinds of organic mulch and inorganic mulch. Organic mulch may be in the form of wood chips, pine needles, and compost and eventually decompose. Inorganic mulch, such as gravel, rocks, and landscape fabric, is more durable but doesn’t help the soil.
