Grigsby boys have over 20 years of experience. 2 entrepreneurs, a father and a son that make a great team just recently Decided to venture out on our own and build a brand. Our work here with Grigsby Boys Lawn Care will be clean cut, we both are familiar with the ability to make a yard beautification ready . Never leaving an edge unedged or a pole unweeded. Grigsby Boys have what it takes to make your yard and hedges look exactly the way you want them to look! We are your guys, just give us a call!

"Some of the weeds were removed but many were just cut down to about an inch and are already growing back. They removed flowers that were blooming and should have been left alone. The worst part are my bushes. They were supposed to be TRIMMED but they were cut completely down to approximately a foot with all the leaves gone. These were beautiful bushes and my heart sinks every time I go into my yard. There was a large bush that has dead branches at the bottom that should have been trimmed but wasn't touched. I am very disappointed and saddened by the work I paid for. I will never hire any company to do this type of work again after this experience."

Mulch and topsoil services FAQs

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 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.

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.
