"This is a second time I hired Lazaro because he did a superb job on pavement. This time, a bit hesitating to call him because it's landscaping work rather than hardscaping. However they did a great job removing weeds, adding top soil and planting sod and bushes with mulch on front yard. On side yard, they removed weeds, added top soil and planted seeds. I like his prompt response, reliability and commitment. They have a solid work habit. Strongly recommend."

"I have never been happier with a landscaping company. Straight A's are well-deserved. Fast, on-time, on budget, with impeccable workmanship. Our lawn and landscape have never looked so good - and they are a pleasure to work with. First time looking on Angie's List and it was a win. Highly recommended."

"My recently-purchased townhome in Reston backs to woods and the unfenced backyard was a *mess* with overgrown weeds & bushes, rampant poison ivy, and many fallen trees. My husband and I wanted to transform it into an area where our dog could roam free and we could make use of the space too. First step was to clear everything out, and then we planned to install a fence. I initially called ET Landscaping and Lawn Care for a quote just to clean out all the weeds, bushes, poison ivy, fallen trees, etc. Julio was happy to come out to provide a free estimate, even with COVID-19 going on. When Julio arrived there was some standing water from recent rain and he explaned that we'd have some drainage & erosion issues if we cleared everything down to bare earth and left it like that while we formulated a plan for sod, mulch, landscaping, etc. After a few more visits to discuss options -- first with me and then with my husband too -- we ended up getting a quote that included labor & materials for: yard clearing, removal of a few dead and/or heavily leaning trees, installing a French drain through the wettest area, re-routing PVC drainage pipes to the edge of the yard (originally dead-ended in the middle of the yard), about 600 square feet of sod, 30 cubic yards of mulch, and 160 linear feet of board-on-board fencing. While it was more than we anticipated spending on the backyard at this time, we felt we were in good hands with Julio & felt his price was fair. From contract signing to job completion was about 6 weeks. However, most of this time was waiting for wood! Due to COVID-19, there is a significant shortage of pressure-treated pine in our area & Julio had a really tough time finding enough wood for our fence from a single supplier. He kept me informed at least weekly (sometimes more often than that!) about his search. As soon as he confirmed that the materials would be available within the following 2 weeks, his landscaping crew came to do their portion of the work. The four-man landscaping crew was here 3 times: one day to clear the big stuff; another full day to clear all the smaller stuff, install the french drain, lay the sod, spread the mulch, etc.; and another few hours on a third day to finish up. The following week, his fencing crew (3 men and 1 woman) completed the entire fence in one day! Both of his crews worked quickly but didn't rush. Our yard looks so much better!! Julio and his landscaping & fencing crews were all friendly and knowledgeable about the work they were performing. They truly are professionals! I left them to their work while doing other things around the house or working from home. I never had any concerns about whether the work would be done how I wanted it or whether they were doing a good job. Also, we are not an end unit and the only way to access our property is through the yard of one neighbor who hates people walking through his yard. Julio had his crews use a pathway that was less convenient & not as easy to get materials/tools through, but disturbed our neighbor a little less. Thank you Julio!"

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.

Determining how many boulders you’ll need for your landscaping project depends on the area you need to cover and how big each boulder is. First, you’ll need to determine how big of an area you want covered, then divide that by the base surface area of the boulders. A landscape professional can help you determine how many boulders will be right for your project.

Pea gravel is the most common type of gravel, and it can be made of limestone, granite, basalt, sandstone, and many other types of rock. The strength in gravel comes from the distribution across the stones, so while one rock type may not be particularly strong (like sandstone), the matrix of small rocks that is gravel can become incredibly strong when installed correctly. 

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. 

Mulch costs anywhere from $30 to $150 per cubic yard, depending on several factors. On the lower end, common types like red and black mulch cost about $35 to $40 per cubic yard and are often made from recycled wood. More premium options like cedar, cypress, and rubber mulch can cost between $100 and $120 per cubic yard. The total cost is also influenced by delivery, which can be around $75 per cubic yard, though many companies provide a free estimate. It is generally cheaper to buy mulch in bulk and have it delivered, but buying it in bags may be more cost-effective for smaller areas. Other factors like the quantity you need, time of year, your geographical location, and professional installation will also affect the final price. Before getting quotes, it's a good idea to calculate how much mulch you need. A professional can help you determine the most suitable type for your landscaping needs.
