MRW Lawns celebrates 35 years of servicing customers throughout Maryland. We take great pride in who we are and what we do! Our environment matters greatly to us, we are helping our ? one lawn at a time. Whether it is for the quality professional products and technicians, or the honest way we present expectations and meet or exceed them. MRW Lawns, Inc. remains the best choice when you choose to hire a professional lawn care and pest control company.
"How long and how much money is enough for a nice lawn? I paid MRW Lawn Service over $2000 and gave them almost a year to achieve satisfactory results – after 10 months. with too many weeds and several bare spots I gave up. I learned my lesson and cancelled. I regret I ever started their pricy and less than satisfactory lawn service. I had hired MRW Lawn Service to provide lawn care services which included soil testing, fertilization, weed control, grub control, seeding and Core/Slice combo renovation. I recognized that results take time, so I stuck with MRW for almost one-year hoping to see the results their representative had promised. Unfortunately, the results from all the treatments applied by MWR were unsatisfactory. The primary issues of concern were weeds and bare spots."

"I found these guys on Angi and submitted a request for a quote. About 5 to 10 minutes later Ed called me and said he could be by in about 2 hours and gave me a quick quote. He showed up on time, was very fast and efficient, and my yard looks great! I usually prefer to do the work myself, but work didn't allow any time for that this week, so these guys were a huge relief. 10/10 would definitely hire again, maybe for some more landscaping work."

Chesapeake Property Services was founded in 2002. We are a family owned and operated company. Our rapid growth and great reputation has been built by our philosophy of total dedication to the needs of our customers. We are proud to serve central Maryland and look forward to helping your family live cleaner and feel better!
"Chesapeake has been cleaning my gutters twice a year for a number of years. They always (weather permitting) come within the time frame given (week requested, and time of day). We have a very wooded lot (many leaves), as well as solar panels which makes this work a little more challenging. The crew that comes not only cleans the gutters, but does a very thorough job of cleaning the debris that falls on the deck/driveway... Highly recommend. FYI - the cost is higher due to having solar panels"

MD Legacy LLC is a family owned business. Current services are Landscaping, Maintenance, and Hardscaping. Our mission is to provide clients with high quality work and turn their dream projects into reality! Our home is our Legacy. MHIC License: 160877
"This is the fourth major project that we’ve hired MD Legacy for, and once again, they blew us away by turning our landscaping dreams into reality. We asked them to build paver-stone borders around several of our mulched beds, to give long-lasting definition to the shapes, prevent intrusion by grass and weeds, and create a buffer to protect the garden plants from damage by lawn equipment. As we’ve come to expect, the estimate process was clear and detail-oriented, and Eric’s level of communication from start to finish was unparalleled. The entire crew is basically like family at this point, and they worked tirelessly to bring our exact vision to life, making sure to consult us on any decisions that had to be made along the way. Jose excavated the trenches neatly and precisely, at the proper depth needed for each area. We continue to be amazed by Carlos’ artistic stone-cutting skills—he is able to take rectangular pavers and transform them into graceful curves and shapes that redefine the composition of our yard. And when some of the pavers from the supplier turned out to be the wrong kind, Reggie and Chris traveled promptly to obtain the right ones; the crew ended up working hours longer than anticipated to leave us with a perfectly completed job and a spotlessly clean yard. Not only are the results gorgeous, but as usual the team at MD Legacy made the entire experience fun and enjoyable as well."

Mulch costs anywhere from $30 to $150 per cubic yard, depending on the type you choose. On the inexpensive end, red and black mulch are about $35 to $40 per cubic yard, and are typically made from recycled waste wood like shredded old pallets or deck material. Cedar, cypress, and rubber mulch cost anywhere from $100 to $120 per cubic yard. A pro can help you determine the type of mulch most suitable for your landscaping needs.
Topsoil costs from $12 to $55 per cubic yard, depending on the type you choose. For example, screened black dirt will cost about $15 per cubic yard. Loam (soil composed of sand, silt, and clay) costs about $17 per cubic yard. Standard screened topsoil costs about $20 per cubic yard. The type of topsoil you need depends on your landscaping plans.
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.
No, mulch itself does not necessarily attract termites even though it’s usually made of shredded wood. Some types of mulch like cedar or cypress resist termites because they’re toxic or unappetizing to the wood munchers. However, when the mulch is deep enough, say three inches or more, it creates a perfect habitat for insects of all kinds to build nests.
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.
