"I hired Earthworks last summer to dig out part of my hillside and create a larger turnaround area for my driveway, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. They did excellent work from start to finish. The team was friendly, polite, and incredibly easy to work with. They took the time to explain my different options clearly and helped me choose the best approach for the space. They were also very flexible with scheduling and paid close attention to weather conditions and rain so the project could be done safely and without issues. I really appreciated how considerate they were of my neighbors as well—they made sure the heavy equipment didn’t damage the road and kept everything clean and respectful."

Mulch and Topsoil FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, you can put topsoil over sand to encourage grass growth. The topsoil will help to improve water retention and promote grass roots’ development, making it a recommended step of the seeding process. Adding a layer of topsoil will provide additional nutrients to the sandy soil, helping the grass grow and remain healthy through many seasons.

Stump grindings are usually safe to use in soil, but in some cases, it’s not recommended. Wood chips in particular can bind nitrogen in the soil, which will make it difficult for grass to grow. That’s why it’s important to remove most wood chips and use healthy garden soil if you want to cover the stump spot with grass. Large wood chips may attract beetles and could encourage the growth of fungi when they decay, so you may want to remove them when using the grindings.

The average cost of a gravel driveway is about $1.25 to $2.00 per square foot, including materials, equipment, and professional installation. For example, a 1-car, 20-foot-long driveway (240 sq ft) might cost $300–$432, while a 2-car, 50-foot-long driveway (1,200 sq ft) could cost $1,500–$2,160. Key cost factors include the type and thickness of the gravel, the amount of site preparation required, the condition of the landscape, local labor costs, and job site accessibility.

Wood from black walnut, magnolia, eucalyptus, red maple, and invasive species like tree of heaven are not recommended for mulching. These trees release allelochemicals that can suppress plant growth. Some homeowners, however, use wood from these trees for mulching if it is less potent due to age or concentration, or if the plants are not as sensitive to them.

Weeds can grow through rubber mulch, but it depends on if you removed all the weeds in your garden beforehand. Weeds already in the soil can grow even when using rubber mulch. However, that doesn’t mean that your garden will be littered with rubber and weeds, but it does mean that the occasional weed might still pop up. Another way you can increase your weed suppression is by using landscape fabric as a second layer.
