"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."

Customers say: Quality work

"We hired Ernest and Sons to construct our patio tiles. We purchased 2' X 2' Tiles and I have to say they did a gorgeous job. I was so pleased with the way they showed up when they said they would. The men that laid out on my job worked so hard. The labor was very strenuous but they never took a break. They were the most conscientious and polite workers I've ever dealt with. They worked neatly, cleaned up totally afterward, and just had a great deal of respect for our property. They really did a beautiful job and Ernest, the owner is a real gentleman also. Love this company!"

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

How tall your mulch should be around your tree depends on the type of mulch you use, but aim for 3 to 4 inches as a rule of thumb. You’ll want to avoid simply piling it up in hopes of offering additional benefits to your tree. Volcano mulching is the infamous term for piling way too much mulch against the stem of your tree. This could actually kill your tree or severely harm it, as your tree trunk needs space to breathe without too much moisture.

It is generally not recommended to put topsoil over new grass seed. A thick layer can suffocate the seedlings by preventing sunlight, water, and oxygen from reaching them. The seeds only need about a quarter-inch of soil for protection. If you want to protect the seeds, a better alternative is to apply a thin layer of organic matter, such as straw mulch or hay.

That depends on the number of cubic feet in each bag. Ten 2-cubic-foot bags of mulch will cover 20 cubic feet, while 10 3-cubic-foot bags of mulch will cover 30 cubic feet. Learning how to DIY mulch can save you money and help you repurpose natural items such as wood chips, pine needles, and leaves.

Although it’s not required to lay anything under mulch, it can help to put landscape fabric or plastic weed barrier down and lay mulch on top. The barrier helps keep weeds from growing up through your mulch. It also helps keep rodents and insects from burrowing into the ground underneath.

Most experts recommend a quarter-inch layer of compost for best results, and you will need about .77 cubic yards of material per 1,000 square feet. To measure how much compost to use, take the square footage of your yard and multiply it by .77, then divide that number by 1,000.
