"Coorley and his team did an outstanding job trimming bushes and cleaning area of trimmings. In fact we were so impressed with their work, we hired them to mulch the area. They used high quality black mulch, installed at a 2.5 inch thickness, and absolutely beautified my front landscaping area! I highly recommend CTC Landscaping. Very clean, professional, respectful of our property, and great value for cost."

He came back to water my plants while I was out of town, followed up with me in-person to show me the proper care for my new plants, and gave me guidance on what to choose for my soil. I will absolutely hire him again and highly recommend his services."

"We hired Stars & Stripes to take out the rock in all our landscape beds and replace with new weed fabric and mulch. It was a big job and they made it look great. They were prompt in getting us a quote and getting the job done. They worked in the rain and communicated exactly what they were doing and made sure to ask questions if they weren't sure what we wanted. Overall, my landscaping looks so nice and they are a very professional and hard-working group of people. We would definitely use them again!"

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

Generally, it is not necessary to remove old mulch before applying a new layer. As organic mulch breaks down, it enriches the soil with nutrients. However, you should remove the old layer if it shows signs of fungus or disease, which can be common in moist areas, or if the total depth is already too thick. Avoid letting the total mulch depth exceed 3 inches, as this can harm plant roots. If you do remove old, disease-free mulch, it can be added to a compost pile.

A base layer is typically required when installing artificial grass, and the specific materials depend on the surface where the turf is being placed.

If you are installing artificial grass over soil, you should lay down a sub-base and a weed barrier.

  • Weed Barrier: A fabric weed barrier, weed membrane, or geo-textile paper is essential to prevent weeds from growing through and damaging the turf.

  • Sub-base: This layer provides drainage, support, and prevents the turf from sinking. Common materials include a mixture of gravel and sand, such as crushed miscellaneous base (CMB), decomposed granite, decomposed limestone, or a specifically mixed road base. Other options include silica sand and granite sand.

If you are placing turf over a hard surface like concrete, you can often skip the sub-base and use a padded underlayment or shock-absorbent material like astro-cushion for comfort and safety.

If you are unsure which materials are best for your specific project, it's a good idea to consult with an artificial turf installer.

When it comes to which stone is better, crushed or natural gravel, it all depends on the project. Crushed stone is a great base and filler material for projects like retention walls, concrete slabs, driveways, pipes, and drains. Gravel is a common choice for visually attractive landscaping projects like walkways, above-ground drainage systems, patios, and garden borders.

Rubber mulch costs an average of $90 per yard to replace, or $4 per foot. Costs vary based on the quality of the rubber mulch, manufacturer prices, and the cost of delivery and installation labor to lay it down. Consult a local mulch professional for a price quote on your specific installation project.

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.
