We began with a single vision shared between brothers. Initially, we opened our doors as Sunshine Grounds Care in 1987. As time passed and more brothers joined the project, it became a widely recognized brand built on the principles of excellent workmanship, customer satisfaction, and genuine care. Since then, The Grounds Guys has exploded nationwide with more than 250 franchise locations around the U.S. and Canada. Leveraging these exciting developments, we remain focused on our original vision for hard work and value. Our Northern Virginia location focuses on landscape design and lighting, cleanups, drainage, and landscape maintenance.

"Andre and his crew did a fabulous job for our late winter work. The work is not cheap, but I feel that it is worth what Andre and his crew delivers. Everyone was friendly, the work was done efficiently, and they did a bonus rework of some rocks lining our driveway that looks great. There was one plant that needed to be replanted once the ground thawed. That was taken care of and they are following up with staking it. This company does live up to it's message of continuing to take care of details until the customer is fully satisfied. My one note is to follow up with Andre on the phone if you don't get a reply email in a day or two."

Beginning my career in the tree service industry while growing up in New Zealand in addition to playing rugby at a high level has shaped my business ethic. My small business has been family owned and operated for thirty years, which attests to my dedication and love for the tree service industry. I am a professional, dependable, and dedicated owner and operator, and I am teaching my son these qualities so that he can take over the business one day. I pride myself in treating your property with the highest quality of care, as if it were my own, as our reputation in the community means everything to us. We belong to the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA) and the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) and have relevant insurance and follow all applicable industry standards ANSI (A300) (Z133). Give me a call for a free estimate! We look forward to meeting you and servicing your property.

"I cannot praise Tony and his team enough. He came by the same day I called to take a look at the wooded area behind the house and identified nine trees that needed to come down because they were either dead or diseased (half dead and looking like if they came down they’d hit the house). None were a surprise as they were the reason we called for a quote to take them down to begin with. He sent a quote right away that we felt was extremely reasonable for everything he proposed should be done (included trimming a couple other trees). Once we got HOA approval we got on his schedule pretty quickly. They did an excellent job, setting aside the logs my husband wanted and shredding the rest to create the mulch that he would then put around the new trees. He selected, sourced, transported, and installed all the trees the HOA required to replace the ones that came out. They kept the area clean and the whole backyard now looks amazing. I couldn’t be happier!"

FAQs for mulch and topsoil service projects in Fairfax, VA

Topsoil costs from $12 to $55 per cubic yard, depending on the type you choose. For example, screened black dirt will cost about $15 per cubic yard. Loam (soil composed of sand, silt, and clay) costs about $17 per cubic yard. Standard screened topsoil costs about $20 per cubic yard. The type of topsoil you need depends on your landscaping plans.

Mulch costs anywhere from $30 to $150 per cubic yard, depending on the type you choose. On the inexpensive end, red and black mulch are about $35 to $40 per cubic yard, and are typically made from recycled waste wood like shredded old pallets or deck material. Cedar, cypress, and rubber mulch cost anywhere from $100 to $120 per cubic yard. A pro can help you determine the type of mulch most suitable for your landscaping needs.

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.

No, mulch itself does not necessarily attract termites even though it’s usually made of shredded wood. Some types of mulch like cedar or cypress resist termites because they’re toxic or unappetizing to the wood munchers. However, when the mulch is deep enough, say three inches or more, it creates a perfect habitat for insects of all kinds to build nests.

Although it’s not required to lay anything under mulch, it can help to put landscape fabric or plastic weed barrier down and lay mulch on top. The barrier helps keep weeds from growing up through your mulch. It also helps keep rodents and insects from burrowing into the ground underneath.
