"Charles and Lorenzo are first-rate, knowledgeable, hard-working professionals. We will have them taking care of our landscaping needs from now on. Charles and Lorenzo were friendly, courteous, and above all professional and efficient. I was very impressed in that after the job had been completed they were more than happy to offer suggestions and advice on how to maintain and take care of minor concerns not associated with the original agreement - talk about establishing goodwill with their clients. Because of the above-mentioned and the overall excellent quality of the work, I will be using High Country Landscaping on a permanent basis."

"Grantt came out to take a look at my property and give me an estimate. He was very courteous very professional and gave me a fair price. He said he has two crews that work on projects so this morning a crew of three or four guys came out and started to work. They cleaned up my yard. Mow the grass, trimming and cleaned up the weeds. It looks absolutely stunning. I can’t overestimate that I mean stunning with all capital letters. They’re all really good guys to talk to and they did excellent work. I highly recommend them. I will be using them more in the future for sure."

Mulch and Topsoil FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Key considerations include dust control, soil erosion prevention, and protecting local wildlife habitats through sustainable clearing practices.

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.

Using sand under stepping stones can be beneficial in certain situations. Sand can help level the ground and provide stability for the stepping stones, especially if the ground is uneven. It also allows for minor adjustments during the installation process. However, sand may not be the best choice for all environments. In areas with high foot traffic or heavy rain, sand may wash away or become displaced, leading to an uneven surface. In such cases, a more stable base material like gravel or crushed stone is preferable. Consider your specific landscape conditions before deciding whether to use sand under stepping stones.

If you like the look of mulch in your plant beds, be aware that it can attract a variety of pests, including termites. To avoid wood-to-foundation contact, leave a one-foot barrier around your house and fill it in with rocks or gravel, starting mulch past that barrier and working it outward into your plant beds.
