"The entire experience from 1st consultation, until the job was completed was seamless and very professional. Julio walked through the project with me as I explained what I wanted/needed and he communicated what could and couldn't be done while detailing the why behind his conclusions/suggestions. My landscaping had been neglected for the past few years and it was a heavy lift with hugely overgrown shrubs, out of control vines and super sized weeds that looked like bushes. From consultation, to proposal, scheduling and job completion all done in a 2 week time frame. I will be using Julio and his team for all my future landscape needs."

"I have my gardens mulched every year and this was the best job ever done. It looks wonderful! The workers arrived on the designated day and were very anxious to please. They did a great job. The neighbors have remarked about noticing the effort these people made and how nice it looks. The mulch was applied several inches deep and will do a great job of controlling weeds throughout the summer. I have already asked them to schedule me for next year."

"I hired Yancey Lawn Service to mow the yard and mulch the flower beds. We agreed on a price and time, but when he arrived he told me he couldn?t do the mulch for another week or two. It?s been two weeks and I have not heard from them. I was excited to use this company and have my yard look great this spring. I?m disappointed they did not deliver."

"Melecio and his worker came onsite and were very professional. He worked with me regarding all of my landscaping needs . He did the work very fast and i was impressed. He made sure that we were happy and walked around the whole house with me to show me all the mulch beads and gave advice on some poison ivy that is growing that needs to be sprayed. I will definitely be using him next year for my clean up service and for my mulching services."

"Rick returned our calls promptly and gave us a fair quote for services. Baumann's does not overcharge or upsell. Once we settled on Baumann's Landscaping as our contractor, we called Rick and the crew were out the next morning promptly at 9am. We were expecting two days of work to clear the brush, but they completed the job in 4 hours. The crew went above and beyond, killing vines choking our trees, mulching all the deadfall, and pushing the brush line all the way back beyond the trees (we live on Maryland wetlands). Fast, prompt, great job. Would absolutely hire again. A++."

"Brian and his crew, they are amazing!! They cleared my dad’s basement, showed up on time, knocked the job out in a timely manner. Professional and reliable, I definitely recommend them to do whatever you need. The list of what they actually do isn’t accurate at all, they do so much more. Stevie Jr."

Mulch and Topsoil FAQs, 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.

There are two main times of year to apply mulch: mid to late spring and late fall. Spreading mulch in mid to late spring helps protect new seedlings as the soil warms up. It's best to wait until temperatures are steady, as mulching too early in the spring can slow down the soil's warming process and hinder plant growth. Fall mulching is also beneficial, as it insulates the soil and helps regulate its temperature when the first frosts arrive.

Grass varieties such as tall fescue, zoysia, Bermuda, Bahia, and centipede grow best in sandy soil. These types of grass are drought resistant, so they help retain water and nutrients more easily. Consult a local lawn care company to determine the best type of grass to plant in your sandy lawn.

The best time to lay mulch depends on the type of mulch and the reason for installing it: 

  • Summer: Adding extra mulch helps soil retain moisture and keeps weeds at bay, allowing plants to thrive. 

  • Fall: Adding mulch helps control weeds and keeps soil and roots warm during the cooler months. Aim to add a layer of mulch 2 to 4 inches deep.

  • Winter: Mulch around perennial plants to help keep them insulated.

  • Spring: Wait until the ground has thawed. Depending on the thickness, add between 1 and 4 inches of mulch to provide freeze and rain protection and enrich the soil.

The best mulches for trees are wood chips, bark nuggets, or pine straw. Depending on your goals, you may want to avoid using plastic, stone, rubber, or wet grass clippings. Plastic mulch prevents water from reaching the mulched areas of your tree, stones don’t offer any nutritional benefits to the soil, rubber can release byproducts into the soil when it decomposes, and wet grass clippings can lead to rot. 

Plastic may prove beneficial in cold climates in the winter, but wood chips are the ideal option for most environments.
