Should you remove old mulch before putting down new mulch?

• <div><p>Mulch is made from natural materials, which will break down and add nutrients to your soil for better plant and soil health, so removing old mulch is unnecessary before putting down new mulch. However, if you live in a particularly moist area, it’s possible that the old mulch will harbor fungus or mold, which can hurt plant health. If you notice these issues, you might want to consider removing the old mulch first. Otherwise, save time and money by placing new mulch right over the old mulch.</p></div>

Q: How do I calculate how many boulders I need for my yard?

• <div><p>Determining how many boulders you&rsquo;ll need for your landscaping project depends on the area you need to cover and how big each boulder is. First, you&rsquo;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. </p><p></p></div>

Q: Can you put gravel directly on dirt?

• <div><p>While you can put gravel directly on dirt, it won&rsquo;t be very stable. It also won&rsquo;t block out any weeds. Most experts recommend layering weed barrier and a layer of packed sand or other foundation material to prevent the gravel from sinking into the earth and being overtaken by weeds.</p></div>

Q: What happens to decomposed granite when it rains?

• <div><p>When it rains, decomposed granite can become muddy and mushy in texture and start to wash away, leading to erosion of the surface. Decomposed granite&rsquo;s inability to endure heavy rainfall is one of its biggest drawbacks. </p></div>

Q: How long does mulch last?

• <div><p>Replace organic mulch every <b>one to two years</b>, depending on the variety. Wood chips and straw, for example, will last a couple of years, while grass clippings and pine needles need replacing every several months. Inorganic mulch&mdash;such as rock and rubber chips&mdash;can stay in place for up to four years, depending on erosion and general garden upkeep. </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 do my lawn all the time. They mow my lawn and edge the yard. They also spread mulch and do weed removal. They come every week this time of year. Their work is consistent and reliable.

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....

They were very prompt and they honored a discount from an out of date quote. The install cost per yard was less than traditional companies. They did a great job with clean up and top dressing the mulch.

"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."
