"Tim and Dan were easy to work with and provided tremendous value for the money. We were preparing to see our house and needed the entire yard sodded and mulched. They worked with us on timing, gave us a great price, and the work was fantastic. We highly recommend."

"We recently moved to Columbia and I wanted to lay some river rock in 3 areas of my courtyard to make a permanent cover where previously it was mulch. The estimate was about 3 tons of stone and I contacted a local stone supplier for the materials. At the same time I checked on HomeAdvisor for someone to to the work placing all the stone as that's just too big a job for me to do by myself (maybe 20 years ago....). After reading the reviews and checking with several companies I was very pleased with my conversation with Fred from DMF Landscaping and decided to go with Fred. He worked up an estimate for me that included everything start to finish, and also included an option to pickup the stone as part of the project rather than having to coordinate with the Stone Store for delivery. The price was not the lowest, and was the next to highest, but in a world where you don't wlays get what you pay for, I found Fred's estimate to be very fair, assuming quality work would be included. Fred contacted me the day before the project to confirm, and that was already off to a good start as that doesn't always happen with contractors. Many times it's been a guessing.waiting game. Not with DMF! On project day Fred called me from the Stone Store to let me know he had the materials and was on the way over. 40 minutes later he and his team arrived on schedule and after a quick walk-through of the project site to make sure everyone was on the same page, they got to work. His crew were friendly and very conscientious of their work: -- the type of stone we ordered ranged in size from 2-3 inches across (think big golf ball) to 5-6 inches across on some of the bigger stones (big softball). My wife and I were able to see them working through the kitchen windows and we noticed the care they used to select the largest stones to place around the edges of each of the areas to create a border, and them placed the smaller stone in the middle to fill out the areas. This careful border placement very much added to the visual appeal of the areas. It would have been quite easy for them to just dump all the stones and spread them out, and I mist likely would not have known the difference. But they went to this extra effort and the results are simply fantastic. Fred was an excellent communicator through the entire process and I cannot recommend them highly enough. I will absolutely be calling on Fred and the DMF team for all future work, and have already given his name to several neighbors who came by to compliment us on the 'new look'. It's really a show stopper and it's due to the hard work and professionalism of Fred and his crew. Not easy to find this type of quality and concern for a job well done, so in closing, a big 'THANK YOU - WELL DONE' to Fred and DMF!"

Customers say: True professional

"Twins Evergreen Landscaping crew was a pleasure to work with. Ashley and Juan walked with me with what I wanted done and Ashley provided me with a detailed estimate including the steps they would take to accomplish my project number of landscaping crew and a list of the cost of each step or product needed. I knew what to expect from the beginning and with the detailed estimate. The scope of work was understood and the work was completed timely with no issues. The landscaping crew were hard working and did a fasctastic job clearing my overgrown flower beds and yard. I didn't realize how much anxiety the state the yard was causing me until after they completed the job. I have hired Twin Evergreen Landscaping for byweekly mowing and would recommend them to anyone looking for landscaping. Ashley, Juan and their crew were definitely an answer to my prayers and I look forward to working with them for any future projects."

"To say it went perfect would be an understatement. We could not be more pleased with the craftmanship, the staff, the materials, and the professional construction we had done from this company. The photos of both bathrooms do not even do it justice because we can't capture the entire room with one photo. We have never had such amazing construction done by any contractor in the 32 years of home ownership, prior to this company. They do it all. Indoor, outdoor, heavy construction, light construction. They had to relocate HVAC ducts, plumbing, electric, and move some walls. They are a one-stop shop!! Prices were extremely reasonable."

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

Before you put down grass seed, you should cultivate your soil or add two inches of topsoil. You should also put down fertilizer at the same time as your seed to prompt healthy growth. Be sure to water after you put down grass seed, especially for the first two weeks.

Hydroseeding is a great option for sloped yards, as sod might not root as well. Hydroseeding also traditionally creates sprouts faster than normal seeding—up to a full week faster. Additionally, you can customize your slurry mix with hydroseed, allowing you to create a mixture that will work specifically for your yard’s conditions. 

It’s important to remember that hydroseeded lawns require a lot of water during the first few weeks of installation, which can be time-consuming and costly. Additionally, the installation window tends to be shorter than that of sod and traditional grass. 

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.

Small gravel is the better option since it creates a stable, even surface that’s easier on paws and hooves. Large gravel can be uncomfortable and may shift too much underfoot. So if you’re using gravel in pet or livestock areas, go for smooth, rounded small gravel to prevent injuries and discomfort.

If you are xeriscaping a lawn from scratch, your best bet for preparing the lawn is to work with a xeriscaping specialist in your area. The most common first step to making the transformation, however, will be to remove the turfgrass from your lawn. The subsequent steps will often include amending the soil to support new plants and installing low-drip or drip irrigation systems.
