One of the first things that impressed us is responsive Byron's is. In both cases, Ricardo was able to come out the next day to give us an estimate (including coming out on a Saturday). Then, he was willing to have a crew to come out that day, or the next day to get started. Both times, the work was completed in a couple of days. The second thing that impressed us was that both times, we got much more than we expected. The first time, all beds were mulched thoroughly, and everything was cleaned up beyond our expectations. And in both cases when they have done planting, they have provided many more plants, and in a great variety, than we were expecting for the money. Each time, they left our property neat and clean, delivering a definite wow factor. Finally, we really appreciate that while different crews may do different things (irrigation versus planting, for example), Ricardo always starts and finishes the process, making sure everything is satisfactory.

"Needed to find someone to complete some huge tasks in short period of time; and without breaking my budget. Word of mouth, I'd gotten some great reviews from some neighbors and friends of mine regarding this local company. I explained my situation, and how I needed this work completed pretty quickly since I was getting ready to travel. They sent a very friendly representative that same day whom provided me with some great ideas on how to save some money, was will to work within my budget, and provided a free quote. I quickly scheduled them for that week, and they came through for me in a big way. Their team was very professional, they cleaned-up after themselves, and I was left with peace of mind before I needed to leave. Great crew; will definitely call them back if I should get more work for them."

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts
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.
Grass varieties such as tall fescue, zoysia, Bermuda, Bahia, and centipede grow best in sandy soil. These types of grass are drought resistant, so they help retain water and nutrients more easily. Consult a local lawn care company to determine the best type of grass to plant in your sandy lawn.
If you hire a professional landscaper, you could expect to pay between $90 and $660 to install three cubic yards of river rock. (That’s based on the average river rock installation cost of $30 to $220 per cubic yard.) However, the exact price depends on the kind of river rock you choose. Crushed limestone and riprap are some of the more affordable options, while boulders and Arizona river rock are pricier.
Under artificial turf, you can lay a subbase, fabric weed barrier, or both. Subbased materials typically include a collection of decomposed limestone and granite or specifically mixed road base. The layer supports water drainage and keeps your artificial turf from sinking and pooling rainwater. If you’re unsure what to put under your artificial turf, call an artificial turf installer near you.
If you are xeriscaping a lawn from scratch, your best bet for preparing the lawn is to work with a xeriscaping specialist in your area. The most common first step to making the transformation, however, will be to remove the turfgrass from your lawn. The subsequent steps will often include amending the soil to support new plants and installing low-drip or drip irrigation systems.
