"I was looking for someone who could take on a very large project that is so tedious and time consuming. My husband and I are getting older and having a hard time maintaining all of the large flower beds on front, back and sides of over an acre of property. Oscar answered our quote request within minutes of submitting and showed up within an hour to discuss the project. Oscar was so friendly, enthusiastic to work and take on any and all projects we discussed, no matter how small. We hired him to begin with weeding and edging and since we need 100 yards of mulch, decided to hold off. Oscar showed up the next day, Sunday afternoon, and weeded each flower bed methodically and with determination. He and his partner stayed until it was too dark and arrived first thing Monday morning to complete. We were so happy with his work we hired him to maintain our beds and property and also to install the mulch. Oscar is very quick to respond to any questions and willing to do anything to work with you. It is such a pleasure to know him and look forward to seeing how he transforms our home. He has the exact work ethic my husband and I have and have had trouble finding in many other companies we have tried in the past. Thank you Oscar!"

"I highly recommend their junk removal services! They did an excellent job clearing out the junk from my house. They were professional, hardworking, efficient, and very respectful of my home. They made the entire process easy and stress-free, and the difference was amazing. Everything was removed quickly and the area was left clean and organized. I’m extremely happy with the service and would definitely use them again. Great job and thank you so much!"

Mulch and Topsoil FAQs, answered by experts

You should add 1 to 4 inches of mulch, depending on your garden type and needs. Keep in mind that no amount of mulch can completely prevent weeds, but a heavier coverage (closer to 4 inches) can suppress weeds enough that you are only seeing them sprout every few weeks. Finer mulch prevents weeds more effectively than large mulch, so if you’re using mulched leaves or shredded bark, 1 to 2 inches will likely suffice, while 3 to 4 inches is best for larger mulch, like bark chips or straw.

Yes, you can custom-color your gravel if you’d like. Use an acrylic- or oil-based paint designed for outdoor use, and apply sealant to protect it from the elements. Some companies offer customized color gravel, either mixing the colorant in a cement mixer with gravel or using industrial mixers to dye, paint, or color it.

There are a few ways you can reduce the cost of mulch delivery, including the following:

  • Place your order in the winter months for spring delivery

  • Choose a more affordable mulch color

  • Opt for a more affordable type of mulch

  • Place larger orders to get a lower cost per cubic foot

  • Opt to lay your own mulch to save on installation costs

  • Add on other delivery or landscaping services to save on travel costs

  • Prepare a single delivery site in the front of your property, and use a wheelbarrow to move smaller quantities 

The best size rock for your landscaping depends on the design, as different boulders serve different purposes. If you want to group boulders to create a natural-looking cluster, you’ll need a range of sizes. Otherwise, here are some suggestions:

  • Small boulders (smaller than 12 inches across): Best for landscape edging and fire pits 

  • Medium boulders (12–24 inches): Best for retaining walls and water features

  • Large boulders (more than 24 inches): Best as standalone landscaping features, steps, or walkways.

Of course, you can mix and match sizes to create a unique display.

Pea gravel is a type of gravel that is generally smaller and rounder than regular gravel. It's usually made from river rock and is available in a wide range of colors. Thanks to its soft, round shape, pea gravel is more comfortable to walk on compared to standard gravel, which can have sharp edges. A drawback of pea gravel is that it can scatter more easily than other gravel types.
