"Alex and his team did a wonderful job with our backyard project. The price Alex gave me was a third of what other landscapers were offering. I was a little hesitant thinking of the adage "you get what you pay for", but the results were so much better than what the other landscapers were offering. Alex conceived the layout concept, and we discussed what could be added or rearranged. During the installation he would be constantly checking in and tweaking the layout with me. That is one of the best parts, Alex was continuing to "evolve" the concept and the results came out much better in the end. The crew was extremely hard working even in the rain and snow. They would wait out the storm and go right back to work. Even after the snow they would shovel out the area they were working on and get back at it. The crew leader, Alfonzo, was always courteous and willing to answer questions. He would give me updates on the progress and kept me informed of what to expect that day."

"We have used Edger and his crew for a few years now for spring and fall cleanup, tree removal, leaf removal and even running loads to the dump. Very professional and far with pricing on work performed. Will be using him for many years to come. Have even recommended him to family and neighbors and they were very happy with him."

"Stone hollow did an awesome job on my back and front yards. My current yard was old and in need of updating and they nailed it. I got several quotes and there were a couple others that were cheaper but they were missing some of the items so I think Stone Hollow did a more thorough job. I would recommend them to anyone need a yard remodeled."

"The job was expertly completed. Eddie is friendly, responsible, and does outstanding work. He designed and installed railing and capstones on a retaining wall. He completed a block wall as part of the job. He was quick, very fair in his pricing, and an absolute pleasure. He was punctual and efficiently completed the job. We will definitely hire him again for our next landscaping project.without"

"They were wonderful! They worked hard and were very careful not to harm electrical wiring and Yard Light. I would hire them again. In fact, I plan to have them repair our sprinkler system in April this year!"

"Franklin did a great job! He was very mindful with our modest budget and planned a beautiful retaining wall and walkway for our sloped yard for a very reasonable price. He communicated well and completed the work in the timeframe he specified. He is one of the kindest and most reliable contractors I’ve ever met."

Mulch and Topsoil FAQs, answered by experts

Gravel is a versatile option for home projects. It is low-maintenance and cost-effective compared to other materials. In addition, gravel provides excellent drainage, reducing the risk of flooding in your yard or driveway. Pairing gravel with a weed barrier fabric during installation can mitigate the risk of weed growth.

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.

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.

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.

Topsoil should go down first. If the topsoil is next to your house, make sure the grade slopes away from the house to keep water from pooling against your foundation and possibly leaking into your basement or crawl space. Don’t cover your decorative landscape mulch with topsoil as that defeats the purpose of laying down the mulch. If you’re trying to create a certain soil composition to improve plant growth, you’ll likely want compost mixed into the topsoil instead of mulch. Over time, any decorative wood mulch will simply decompose under the topsoil.
