Spring Is just around the corner! Joing our family for professional lawncare service, at an oracle price, we also offer fencing instaltion , small demolition, junk leaf and wood removal and much more.

"The team leader 'Blue' came, looked at the pile of leaves and suggested crushing the leaves instead of hauling away. He gave an estimate which was reasonable but I doubted the results. After they were done (within a 1/2 hour) it was a pile of flatten dirt. I was impressed and pleased. For the future I'll call him next time I need yard work. I highly recommend Blue Jay's Landscaping."

Business run and work completed by owner of company.

"This is not the company that you want to plow your business parking lots. I attempted to discuss what spots needed to be done better and the driver wouldn't even stop to talk. All he did was yell from his truck cab that he didn't have the time and then attempted to hit me in the parking lot, telling me that I better move. I don't know but that seems like a form of vehicular assault to me...? They are a shabby landscaper as well. They cut corners and will even cut holes in your expensive garden hose with their weed wackers if you leave it out."

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

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.

Since the nature of the landscaping project can heavily influence the overall cost, it helps to understand what different types of landscaping projects cost on average. For example:

  • Plant a tree: $100–$2,000

  • Build a retaining wall: $3,250–$9,200

  • Reseed a lawn: $450–$1,700

  • Install a water fountain: $950–$4,800

  • Install a paver patio: $2,400–$7,000

  • Install a concrete walkway: $1,200–$2,400

  • Install a flower bed: $800–$3,000

  • Landscape lighting: $2,000–$6,000

The best time to lay mulch depends on the type of mulch and the reason for installing it: 

  • Summer: Adding extra mulch helps soil retain moisture and keeps weeds at bay, allowing plants to thrive. 

  • Fall: Adding mulch helps control weeds and keeps soil and roots warm during the cooler months. Aim to add a layer of mulch 2 to 4 inches deep.

  • Winter: Mulch around perennial plants to help keep them insulated.

  • Spring: Wait until the ground has thawed. Depending on the thickness, add between 1 and 4 inches of mulch to provide freeze and rain protection and enrich the soil.

If you’re mulching in the fall, aim to lay down the material right after the first frost, which will vary by climate. Late October and early November are good time ranges to aim for. Try to lay down your mulch after a light rainfall to lock in moisture for root growth through the winter.

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.
