"Luis and his team were accommodating and professional. They were able to fit my delivery in with short notice and were communicative and nice to work with. They delivered the gravel right where I asked & sent a photo of the delivery because I was not home. I will definitely work with Luis for materials as I continue to put my yard together."

"Cesar did an awesome job! He removed three large concrete footings left from some old fence posts, and then installed three new 4x4 fence posts with new concrete footings. He gave me a bid, started that same day, and then finished on the second day. I couldn't have been more pleased. He works hard, is honest and reliable. Thank you Cesar!"

"Fred and his team were great! We needed an old deck remove and hauled away, new irrigation and sod placed, mulch in our garden beds and a concrete pad laid. They gave us a fair quote and stuck to the budget, even when concrete shortages were impacting the market this summer. There were a few delays due to unforeseen circumstances, but they communicated well with us about what was going on, and when they could do they work, they worked hard to get the job done quickly and well. We will use Good Samaritain again for future projects!"

"Cesar is an expert in Sprinkler Repair and Landscaping. My sprinkler system was old and broken. He was able to install new parts and fix what could be fixed. He removed all my dead weeds/sod at my request and installed new good soil and sod. I am so happy with the work he does. I would recommend his work to anyone! He knows what he is doing!"

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

Timing is key when determining the best time to hydroseed your lawn. It’s best to hydroseed in the spring or fall due to the already wet conditions of your lawn and the more mild temperatures. 

Your local pro will also offer watering and fertilizer instructions for the months after your application. Make sure you will be available to water it consistently, especially in the first two to three weeks for best results.

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.

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.

The best mulches for trees are wood chips, bark nuggets, or pine straw. Depending on your goals, you may want to avoid using plastic, stone, rubber, or wet grass clippings. Plastic mulch prevents water from reaching the mulched areas of your tree, stones don’t offer any nutritional benefits to the soil, rubber can release byproducts into the soil when it decomposes, and wet grass clippings can lead to rot. 

Plastic may prove beneficial in cold climates in the winter, but wood chips are the ideal option for most environments.

Generally, it is not necessary to remove old mulch before applying a new layer. As organic mulch breaks down, it enriches the soil with nutrients. However, you should remove the old layer if it shows signs of fungus or disease, which can be common in moist areas, or if the total depth is already too thick. Avoid letting the total mulch depth exceed 3 inches, as this can harm plant roots. If you do remove old, disease-free mulch, it can be added to a compost pile.
