"I have been dealing with RJ Lawn and Landscape for almost 2 years now. I Signed a contract with RJ in January of 2022, for a patio surrounding an inground pool, small deck from the door to the patio, landscaping, fence and fire pit. This project was supposed to be completed in October/November of 2022. RJ did not complete this project in 2022, and now in November of 2023 it is still not completed because RJ has walked away from the job without any notice. He has simply stopped returning calls/texts/emails. He left me with over $9,500 in work paid for and not completed, that I am now working to try to recover through legal action. His work is unprofessional. He completely botched the concrete pour he did in June 2023 and had to paver stone over the brand-new concrete because of how badly he messed it up. I tried to be patient with him as the project timeline got pushed back repeatedly. I tried to be patient when his shoddy and rushed work had to continually be redone. However, it is completely unacceptable to cut off all communication when work has been paid for and not completed. RJ is unethical, unprofessional, and untrustworthy. BEWARE!!!"

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

You shouldn’t put topsoil over new grass seed. Even though it may seem like this would increase soil contact and help the seeds grow, adding more soil overtop of planted grass seed will only make it harder for water and oxygen to reach the grass seeds. If you want to protect the grass seeds, consider adding a thin layer of organic matter, such as straw or hay.

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.

Generally, you want the soil for your edible plants to have good drainage, organic matter for nutrients, a loose texture (like loam soil), and a balanced pH level. However, the type of plants you're growing will dictate the exact characteristics your soil needs to thrive. For example, brussels sprout prefers more acidic soil, while broccoli prefers more alkaline soil. 

Yes, you can put soil on top of existing grass to level small areas. This is helpful for filling in small divots or leveling out minor dips in your yard that collect rainwater. However, this isn’t a good option if you need to regrade your entire lawn. It’s better to have a professional excavate some of the dirt first so that the level of the lawn doesn’t rise too high.

There are two main times of the year to spread mulch—mid-spring and late fall. Spring mulching protects new seedlings as the soil warms up and the rainy season begins. Fall mulching insulates the soil and regulates its temperature as the first frosts arrive.
