"TrueCare Landscaping gave a very reasonable quote. They showed up promptly. They worked so hard and professionally. The front yard and back yard look AMAZING. They got rid of old mulch, weeds, huge WEEDS, wild honeysuckle everywhere, climbing vines, and trimmed treees. Then they put down new mulch and straighten the rocks. They cleaned up afterwards, and gave tips for keeping the yard in shape. They advised what to do next and in the spring. I will hire them again for future projects. I recommend them to others needing landscaping. You will be happy."

"Last year I needed to adjust all my sprinkler heads as landscaping changed a bit and needed my weather station moved. They did an excellent job and the sales person even came out when I called because I could not figure out how to make some more adjustments that I needed. So far I have been happy with my irrigation system and the service."

"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."

"We hired Carlos to restore an area that had been started but not properly completed by another landscaper. As agreed, the first landscaper properly removed the overgrown shrubs. Next, he was supposed to replace the gravel with mulch and then plant about a dozen native grasses where the shrubs had been. Instead, he put the mulch on top of the gravel, which made it impossible to plant the grasses because of the depth of gravel and mulch. Carlos was able to carefully remove the mulch and save it to use after he removed the gravel. He also suggested that we leave a border of gravel along the house and use edging to separate the areas, which we did. Last, he planted the native grasses exactly according to our specs, and everything came out great. Before starting the work, Carlos discussed the situation at length with us to help determine the best approach. Also, since we were out of town when he did the work, he stayed in touch with us and sent photos of the progress and the final result"

"Even though they had to come back to add more mulch, they did so willingly to make sure we were satisfied. They were very easy to work with and made sure we got what we wanted. The only problem we had was their payment plan, Square. It was slow in verifying that our payment had gone through their bank."

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

How tall your mulch should be around your tree depends on the type of mulch you use, but aim for 3 to 4 inches as a rule of thumb. You’ll want to avoid simply piling it up in hopes of offering additional benefits to your tree. Volcano mulching is the infamous term for piling way too much mulch against the stem of your tree. This could actually kill your tree or severely harm it, as your tree trunk needs space to breathe without too much moisture.

If you’re using crushed stone or gravel as a base material, then yes, you should compact it to prevent movement of the top layers. For instance, if you don’t compact crushed stone or gravel and you lay pavers on top of them, the pavers will shift over time. However, if you’re using gravel or crushed stone as a top layer for aesthetic purposes, you might not want to compact the materials.

Many ways to landscape a steep slope on a budget exist. Avoiding expensive retaining wall construction is the first step. Consider creating a rocky slope with boulders or large stones, or think about planting perennials that return every year with a single investment. Transplanting small trees from elsewhere on your property is also possible and can help to stabilize steep slopes without purchasing new ones. 

Mulching any time of year can attract termites, so there’s no added risk in the fall. The important thing to remember is that termites are attracted to rotting wood, so you need to lay a thin enough layer that won’t trap too much moisture and lead to rotting. A layer between 1 and 4 inches thick should provide all the benefits you’re looking for without attracting termites.

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.
