"He Roni and his team did a great job. They communicated with me throughout the planning. Were very much involved in what I needed down. They were quick, fast and cleaned up all debris when it was over. For a job that I thought would be several hours it was half of that! Such a great job done I'm actually planning to continue to use Tropigala Tree Service as my yard people/ connection! Great job well done!"

"We are very happy with the landscaping that was done in the front of our home. It was in poor shape for a long time, so everything needed to be ripped out and replaced. We love the dark mulch that Brian suggested and all of the plants and flowers he picked out for us (I know nothing about flowers so I asked him to give us his recommendations). He was very patient with me through the whole process and didn't mind at all that I asked for input on what should be planted. I would absolutely hire Landscape Impressions again as well as recommend them to my friends."

"Angel and his team are incredible! We first spoke on a Wednesday, he sent the estimate IMMEDIATELY, we scheduled the work and it was completed that Saturday. He and his team were right on time and they were so professional, so hard working, so efficient and so kind. Angel was also always responsive to any questions I had along the way. They completed our mulching project in great time, they did an incredible job and they thoroughly cleaned up after. We are so pleased with their services and plan to work with them again for our future landscaping needs. Highly recommend Angel and his team."

"It went really well! He was courteous, straightforward, and efficient while cleaning. The price was fair and he had all the equipment and supplies ready, so I didn’t have to worry about anything. The weather was bad, so I gave him a tip for the trouble, which he really appreciated."

Customers say: Quality work

"They are not local to my area. Please, hire local. And this is for Angi: Try not to recommend contractors who are a significant distance away, in this case around 80 miles (and 2 states) away. Great website, appears to be professionally designed and maintained, I like what they do (judging from the content in the website) but I am outside their service area. I don't live in that area. If I owned a home or apartment in that area, I would hire them."

"This company from its owner to its employees are some of the best in the industry. I expanded my driveway, created a new walkway and created a brand new patio and stairs in my backyard. The outcome was excellent. During the job they were neat, organized and professional. Most importantly they made sure I was satisfied. Fantastic work!!"

Mulch and Topsoil FAQs, answered by experts

Wood from black walnut, magnolia, eucalyptus, red maple, and invasive species like tree of heaven are not recommended for mulching. These trees release allelochemicals that can suppress plant growth. Some homeowners, however, use wood from these trees for mulching if it is less potent due to age or concentration, or if the plants are not as sensitive to them.

The hydroseed mix—known as a slurry—helps grass seed take root in many ways. Water combines with the mulch, allowing the grass seed to stay moist while grounded in the soil. The extra fertilizer then provides the boost the seed needs to flourish. In just a few weeks, you'll be ready to break out the lawnmower again.

It depends on the model of your pool. You’ll always have to level the topsoil, but most vinyl-lined pools require an additional 1- to 2-inch layer of sand to protect the liner. This way, when a foot kicks down to the bottom of your pool, it’s not scraping the liner against the hard ground. If your pool isn’t vinyl-lined, you can skip this step or add a layer of another base material, like decomposed granite. Always check your manufacturer’s instructions before you begin.

The least costly way to keep grass from growing is also the most labor-intensive: regular weeding. Pull out grass blades as you see them pop up through the soil in areas where they’re unwanted. Another cost-effective way to keep grass from growing is by spreading a thick layer of mulch on the area as this will suffocate the grass.

Mulching any time of year can be beneficial, so you can choose based on your preference. Most homeowners avoid the winter and summer because of the uncomfortable temperatures, so spring and fall are often best. Try not to mulch right before heavy rainfall or a big storm is expected, as wind and runoff can move newly laid mulch around and make more work for you.
