"Outstanding contractor with hardworking and talented staff. JM Maintenance Contruction surveyed our 30 year old lawn and garden sprinkler system, identified deficiencies, and brought it up to standard in one day. Now we have even water coverage throughout the lawn and garden areas. As to the stone and gravel work, JM Maintenance refurbished our extensive xeriscape and driveway areas with quality gravel. The color selections were excellent and the JM team worked tirelessly, wheel barrel by wheel barrel to apply the gravel evenly, smoothly, and well compacted. Our hats off to the JM Maintenance team."

"Marius and his crew Jean and Rolando are best. They installed our landscaping precisely to our draw up design. They took their time and paid attention to very small details to ensure quality work. The water rock fountain exceeded expectations and we appreciated them getting to the job on time considering how many clients they have and their work schedule. They even put in a brick pad for our trash bins after the fact when we realized we needed it. Great craftsmanship fellows. Thank you."

"We had a great experience working with Dmitri and his team. Dmitri was incredibly helpful, responsive, and very understanding of our budget from start to finish. We hired them to level our backyard and remove several inches of dirt and rocks, and they did an excellent job. The crew was friendly, fast, and efficient, and everything was completed exactly as discussed. We really appreciated the clear communication and professionalism throughout the process. Highly recommend!"

"We chose Summersweet because of the innovative design by the owner (Eric Jaramillo) and pricing comparable to other bids. Eric made a few minor modifications based on our input but the plan was pretty much as he originally envisioned. He is experienced and knows what he is doing him. Trust him! We did and everything came out beautifully. His workers were polite, efficient, showed up when agreed and did a great job. We could not be more pleased and highly recommend Summersweet. Dan & Regina Puccetti"

"Excellent cleaning and very reasonably priced! I was amazed when I entered my home. I am not a dirty person, but my house hasn't looked that clean in a very long time. Whatever cleaning supplies were used smelled wonderful! Most importantly, outstanding customer service!"

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

While you don’t need to put anything down before mulch, you can apply a pre-emergent herbicide to prevent weed growth. As long as you remove weeds before you spread mulch, you should be in the clear. But a herbicide is something that you can put down before mulch as an extra layer of protection.

The best way to landscape your front yard on a budget is to invest in hiring a professional for hardscaping—things like upgrading walkways, redoing driveways, and installing partitions around garden beds. You can often do the softscaping yourself—think laying down mulch, caring for your lawn, removing weeds, and planting flowers and shrubs. It’s also almost always worthwhile to pay a professional for routine yard maintenance, as this dramatically improves curb appeal and delivers above 100% ROI in most cases.

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.

Shredded hardwood black mulch and red mulch are the two best types of mulch for landscaping purposes. They last a few seasons, look nice in your yard, and are affordable (about $40 or less per cubic yard). Contact your mulch delivery pro to discuss which mulch type works best for your needs.

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 soil composition to improve plant growth, you’ll likely want compost mixed into the topsoil instead of mulch. Over time, any decorative wood mulch will simply decompose under the topsoil.
