"I have used West Lawn Service regularly and for annual projects for over 10 years now. The crew is always kind and professional. They do a great job with every project! When I have expressed needs or wants, they provide suggestions on what would work best or make things look better but are always price aware. The crew is very reliable and come regularly and as needed. They definitely go above and beyond what is expected. My yard always looks very nice and tidy when they are finished with it. Love West Lawn Service!!!"

"Highly recommended. Being an operator myself I can be very critical of other’s work but these guys were above even my standards. The Owner/Operator Tyler and his dad Jody are very professional and family friendly. Always polite and willing to work with you if any unforeseen issues come up. This is a family owned and operated company that takes pride in their work from start to finish. Equipment is new and well maintained so there was no downtime due to repairs and no mess on my property from oil leaks. I will definitely be calling them again for any future work I may need. Thanks"

Mulch and Topsoil FAQs, answered by experts

You should exercise care when deciding how to landscape over a leach field for your septic system. You typically want lightweight materials that won’t damage the drain field’s perforated pipes. When adding plants to the area, select plants with shallow roots, such as grass or flower gardens. Trees with deep roots could damage the pipes in the field.

Yes. One of the main benefits of organic mulch is weed prevention. Organic mulch forms a physical barrier that blocks light and stops weeds from germinating. It can reduce your need to weed and improve the physical appearance of your garden.

Although it’s not required to lay anything under mulch, it can help to put landscape fabric or plastic weed barrier down and lay mulch on top. The barrier helps keep weeds from growing up through your mulch. It also helps keep rodents and insects from burrowing into the ground underneath.

As a base, you should use a fertilizer with a 5-5-5 NPK ratio (5% nitrogen, 5% phosphorus, and 5% potassium). You may need a different ratio depending on what your soil is lacking, but a soil test can help determine the perfect amount.

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.
