"--- Beautiful Backyard Transformation by Harry’s Team! Harry Professional Landscaping Service did an outstanding job on my backyard. I hired them to level the yard and install pavers around an existing cement walkway, and the results were fantastic. The team was efficient, detail-oriented, and clearly experienced in hardscaping. They took the time to ensure the ground was properly graded, which made a huge difference in the final look and functionality. The pavers were laid with precision, creating a clean, polished border that really enhances the space. It’s now both beautiful and practical—perfect for entertaining or just relaxing outdoors. I highly recommend Harry and his crew for any landscaping or hardscaping needs. Their professionalism and craftsmanship truly exceeded my expectations!"

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

Colored mulch can be bad for plants in that it robs them of nitrogen as it depletes the soil to break itself down. With this in mind, it’s a good idea to test your soil to check the nitrogen levels. If the nitrogen levels are low, use fertilizer with extra nitrogen or switch to regular mulch.

Another downside of colored mulch is if it’s heavily contaminated, it can contaminate the soil and damage your plants. To avoid this, look for the MSC certification logo on the mulch bag before purchasing.

A light layer of mulch can help protect a tree, retain moisture, and keep the soil healthy. However, it’s important to avoid over-mulching or piling the mulch up around the trunk of a tree, a practice notoriously called “volcano mulching.” That piled mulch can increase the chances of rot and disease on the tree trunk as well as overwhelming the soil, which needs access to a certain amount of air. Topped trees have it hard enough: mulch sparingly while they heal.

Basic kits exist, but professional soil engineers provide in-depth analysis and construction recommendations.

A 40-pound bag of topsoil covers 0.76 cubic feet, enough for 4.5 square feet with a 2-inch depth or 36 square feet with a .25-inch depth, such as topdressing a standard garden bed. If you want 2 inches of fresh topsoil for your 36-square-foot garden bed, you’ll need eight 40-pound bags.

Nonorganic mulch, like river rocks, pebbles, or lava rock, technically lasts the longest. It helps with moisture retention and weed control but doesn’t break down and release nutrients like organic mulch. Wood mulch decomposes slowly, which can help it last longer than leaf or straw mulch, but it won’t provide as many nutrients as quickly as the faster decomposing types.
