"I trusted this company to do a major job in our yard in March; grinding up tree roots, bringing in top soil, leveling the yard, and spraying hydroseed with Bermuda grass ? with the hope of finally having a nice, healthy lawn. I spent almost $5,000 on this project, and unfortunately the results have been extremely disappointing. A couple days after they finished the job, we had a very heavy rain that caused all of the hydroseed to wash away. I was able to get them to come back a couple weeks later and re-hydroseed. I thought it would be great from here. I was wrong. I followed the instructions I was given and watered the grass twice daily, but the hydroseed mulch from the second spray never broke down, which caused moss/fungus to grow and ultimately killed off all of the grass. Instead of the lush Bermuda lawn I was promised, I was left with bare dirt and invasive crabgrass taking over. I ended up having to rake up the failed hydroseed myself, hire another company to aerate the soil,"

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

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.

Stump grindings are usually safe to use in soil, but in some cases, it’s not recommended. Wood chips in particular can bind nitrogen in the soil, which will make it difficult for grass to grow. That’s why it’s important to remove most wood chips and use healthy garden soil if you want to cover the stump spot with grass. Large wood chips may attract beetles and could encourage the growth of fungi when they decay, so you may want to remove them when using the grindings.

Grass varieties such as tall fescue, zoysia, Bermuda, Bahia, and centipede grow best in sandy soil. These types of grass are drought resistant, so they help retain water and nutrients more easily. Consult a local lawn care company to determine the best type of grass to plant in your sandy lawn.

Yes, it is possible to add too little mulch. Anything less than 1 inch will likely result in too little coverage around your plants, allowing weeds to grow through and minimizing the positive effects that a deeper bed of mulch would have, like maintaining proper soil moisture and insulating the ground.

Delivery distance, material type and quantity, provider rates, and ease of access to your location all impact overall costs. Requesting an upfront quote can help inform budget planning.
