What goes down first, topsoil or mulch?

• <div><p>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 <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-can-you-improve-plant-growth-start-improving-your-soil.htm">soil composition to improve plant growth</a>, you’ll likely want compost mixed into the topsoil instead of mulch. Over time, any decorative wood mulch will simply decompose under the topsoil. </p></div>

What’s a reasonable budget for landscaping?

• <div><p>You don’t have to spend a small fortune to make big changes to your landscape. You can achieve a lot for well under $5,000, especially if you like a DIY challenge. With a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/landscaping-what-can-you-get-50-500-or-5000.htm">landscaping budget of $5,000</a>, you could tackle a project like building a simple patio or deck, sprucing up your existing landscape with new plants, mulching, and tree trimming, or adding an impressive water feature. You’ll have no shortage of possibilities if you budget wisely. </p></div>

GREAT! Couldn’t ask for better lawn service! Our lawn was one huge weed bed. They first killed the weeds, then reseeded. It’s actually green again and we now have to cut it twice a week to keep up with the growth. We highly recommend this lawn service. They are very professional, knowledgeable,...

It was great. Samuel was there to explain exactly what would happen, how long it would take and how much it would cost. He was very reasonable when I asked for additional work on the same day, and he had it done professionally and fairly.

"Jonathan is still working on projects at my home, but the completed part is the excellent work that Jonathan did by digging up the large bushes in the front and transplanting them to the back and giving me grass in the front yard. He is building me an extensive patio, a kitchen, walls, and walkways. I have renovated many homes and De La Rosa is my FAVORITE sub. Jonathan has qualities that ensure you will not be miserable, stressed and panicky: he is COMMUNATIVE, CALM, EXTREMELY CAPABLE, REASONABLE, and HONEST.He knows his stuff! I am a very experienced gardener and I never have to explain to him how to properly do something. His paver and stone work is beyond compare. Don't waste your time with another company"
