Q: How long does organic mulch last?

• <div><p>Organic mulch typically lasts between 4 to 6 years. However, factors like the type of organic mulch you choose, mulch size, and weather conditions can all play a role in its longevity. In some cases, you&rsquo;ll need to replace organic mulch every few years.</p></div>

Q: What is the best mulch to put around a tree?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;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. </p><p>Plastic may prove beneficial in cold climates in the winter, but wood chips are the ideal option for most environments.</p></div>

Q: Is colored mulch bad for plants?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;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.</p><p>Another downside of colored mulch is if it&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: What should you put underneath artificial grass?

• <div><p>Artificial turf usually requires some sort of base. If you&rsquo;re installing the grass over soil, you&rsquo;ll want to add a weed barrier (weeds can damage your fake grass) and an artificial grass sub-base . Typically, this is a mixture of gravel and sand, like crushed miscellaneous base (CMB) or decomposed granite. If you're placing turf over concrete, you can skip the sub base and use a padded underlayment.</p></div>

Q: Is colored mulch more expensive?

• <div><p>It depends. High-end colored mulch can be fairly costly. However, you'll have to replace less-expensive natural mulches, like pine needles and cedar mulch, more frequently. </p><p>The cost is balanced out somewhat, though, as although you'll have to replace colored mulch less often, you'll have to replenish nutrients in your soil more frequently to make up for the decrease in organic matter and nitrogen from the mulch.</p></div>

I hired them for laying mulch. Excellent job. I hired for a second job of painting parts of the exterior of my home. Such precision and hard work. I am going to hire for a third job. I recommend them highly. Great skills, knowledge, communication and availability.

They had estimated it would take 6 weeks to get to this job - but then were able to fit it in a week after the estimate. This was tough for me. We were attracted to this house in 1979 because of the glorious large Pink dogwood out front. It has been a staple in my yard for over 35 years....

"This was a very difficult job - the juniper I wanted removed was on a slope under large trees. Despite this, the juniper was completely removed, the area was completely rehabilitated with top soil and mulch, and grass was planted where fitting. The finished project was absolutely amazing! Neighbors have been very complimentary. I was also very impressed by this landscaper’s professionalism -I highly recommend him - he made a difficult job seem easy."
