"Scott is very prompt and dependable. Hired him to mow but he goes above and beyond mowing. County had left me a bunch of tree branches and he cleaned all that up for me as well.

"Ron yoder one of the owners of the natrual state landscaping and curbing went into partnership with Keeton Lefgren and committed timber theft on my property, using the natrual state equipment and trucks to haul my timber, fully knowing this man had a felony for timber theft once before! We had never been paid, they damaged the land, dropping a large cedar on the septic tank and busting it, as well as stripped the value of the trees, depreciated the value of the timber and left trees fallen, cut wrong and worthless. They never took them to a sawmill, no invoices, no payment. This company, Ron Yoder, keeton lofgren and John raped our land and caused detrimental damages to our property and family FULLY AWARE they were working with a serial con man who has over 10 CRIMINAL AND CIVIL CASES AGAINST HIM! Two in October of 2025 plus Two more at the first of November! Do not do business with this company or these people! I'm reaching out to the attorney General, the prosecuting attorney & BBB"

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

As a base, you should use a fertilizer with a 5-5-5 NPK ratio (5% nitrogen, 5% phosphorus, and 5% potassium). You may need a different ratio depending on what your soil is lacking, but a soil test can help determine the perfect amount.

There are two main times of the year to spread mulch—mid-spring and late fall. Spring mulching protects new seedlings as the soil warms up and the rainy season begins. Fall mulching insulates the soil and regulates its temperature as the first frosts arrive.

Hydroseeding is a great option for sloped yards, as sod might not root as well. Hydroseeding also traditionally creates sprouts faster than normal seeding—up to a full week faster. Additionally, you can customize your slurry mix with hydroseed, allowing you to create a mixture that will work specifically for your yard’s conditions. 

It’s important to remember that hydroseeded lawns require a lot of water during the first few weeks of installation, which can be time-consuming and costly. Additionally, the installation window tends to be shorter than that of sod and traditional grass. 

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.

Topsoil should go down first. If the topsoil is next to your house, make sure the grade slopes away from the house to keep water from pooling against your foundation and possibly leaking into your basement or crawl space. Don’t cover your decorative landscape mulch with topsoil as that defeats the purpose of laying down the mulch. If you’re trying to create a certain soil composition to improve plant growth, you’ll likely want compost mixed into the topsoil instead of mulch. Over time, any decorative wood mulch will simply decompose under the topsoil.
