"Wonderful experience with Better Yards and Gardens. Good communication, great patience with property being in Saint Paul and challenging little acreage of a backyard. Patio is beautiful! And the cleanup of retaining wall beds and beds along house and putting in landscape rock looks great. Timing to schedule was short and the project was completed in a day and a half. Would definitely recommend Better Yards and Gardens!"

"Jason was great from start to finish. He came to our house to evaluate the project and returned to provide an estimate. He didn't pressure us in any way. We hired him to perform our project and his communication was fantastic. He and his team did a great job and I will hire him again. Highly recommend!"

"Very easy and professional to work with from start to finish. My husband and I were nervous to work with another contractor, due to a previous very larger concrete project that had a few bumps towards the end of the project and we don't realize it would tear up most of our yard. The first call to Dan started with a small project grading and leveling estimate but through further discussions and Dan answering our questions; we decided to have them complete a larger landscaping project: replace a 72 feet rock wall with a boulder wall, frame a small flower garden with rocks, level and grade entire yard, over 4,500 sq feet, hydro seed, and place a few boulders throughout the yard . They initiated conversations with our neighbor, explaining and ensuring no damage to their yard would occur and if hey had any questions or concerns to please talk to them right way, they had none, and everything went smoothly. Dan and his brother pay attention to detail from start to finish and we greatly appreciated that. The grass is starting to grow and everything looks great. The price was well worth it."

"Taz construction did a outstanding job on our retaining wall and refreshed our hill with new plants and mulch. They cleaned up after the project was completed, along with doing extra work around the site. We will have them back on any further work we need done."

"Gary and his crew were terrific. They did the job on time, on budget, and the workmanship was wonderful. They were respectful of my existing landscaping and lawn, and caught errors and added design upgrades as they worked that really added to the total experience. Great communication, very straightforward, and I'm very pleased. Will hire them again (in fact, already did)."

Mulch and Topsoil FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, rotting leaves can be good for your soil. The decaying leaves release nutrients into the soil that can boost the health of your plants, and the organic matter also helps improve airflow and water drainage.

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.

Nonorganic mulch, like river rocks, pebbles, or lava rock, technically lasts the longest. It helps with moisture retention and weed control but doesn’t break down and release nutrients like organic mulch. Wood mulch decomposes slowly, which can help it last longer than leaf or straw mulch, but it won’t provide as many nutrients as quickly as the faster decomposing types.

The amount of soil you’ll need around your foundation depends on a variety of factors, but in general, you want a 6-inch decline over the first 10 feet extending out from your foundation. How much soil it will take to achieve that will depend on the current grade of the yard, how much foundation is exposed, and the size of your home.

A 50-pound bag of pea gravel equals approximately one-half of a cubic foot. That amount will cover a three-square-foot area to a depth of about two inches. A three-square-foot area with equal-length sides is approximately 1.73 feet by 1.73 feet, or about 20.75 inches on each side.
