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>

Will mulching in the fall attract termites?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

How much do different kinds of landscaping services cost?

• <div><p>Since the nature of the landscaping project can heavily influence the overall cost, it helps to understand what different types of landscaping projects cost on average. For example:</p><ul><li><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-do-trees-cost.htm">Plant a tree</a>: $100–$2,000</p></li><li><p>Build a retaining wall: $3,250–$9,200</p></li><li><p>Reseed a lawn: $450–$1,700</p></li><li><p>Install a water fountain: $950–$4,800</p></li><li><p>Install a paver patio: $2,400–$7,000</p></li><li><p>Install a concrete walkway: $1,200–$2,400</p></li><li><p>Install a flower bed: $800–$3,000</p></li><li><p>Landscape lighting: $2,000–$6,000</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

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.
