"Recently was in desperate need of some hardcore weed/brush clearing on my back property 90' x 50' area that had gotten neglected and had become a fire hazard. Angie's connected me to JP landscaping. We got a prompt call back & same day appt for quote. Leo and his father from JP came out and we agreed on a price to cut and haul away the debris. The morning of project, they arrived on time and wasted no time getting to work. I figured this was going to be a two-day job. Leo and Nathan Impressed me with their hard work and completed it in one day including two dump trips. My backlot looks great now and is no longer a fire hazard!

With an exemplary reputation of being the leader in paver stone and landscape design & installation throughout California, our company’s ultimate goal is to provide an exceptional client experience. Our family of experts will create your custom Dreamscape with a commitment to professionalism, quality, value and customer service. We work with “Experts Only” to achieve 100% customer satisfaction by offering the highest quality work, including a 27 year warranty on paver installation & a lifetime warranty on paver stones.
"We cannot say enough positive things about our experience with Black Diamond Paver Stones & Landscape, Inc., our project manager Nick Miller, our foreman Raymundo and his wonderful hardworking crew/sons. It was very refreshing and relieving to find a company and individuals that we not only trust but do remarkable work. My wife and I were budgeting for a project to replace our back lawn (or what was left of it) with synthetic turf so that our young kids had a safe and clean play area. We received several quotes from other companies but ultimately chose Black Diamond because of Nick. From the first day we met Nick and throughout the entire project, Nick was easy to reach, professional, knowledgeable, and understanding when our toddlers were competing for attention (i.e., having meltdowns). At no point did Nick make us feel pressured or like we were being difficult (even when we probably were). He simply answered our questions, gave us recommendations, and ultimately let us choose what worked best for our needs. Raymundo and his team quickly began work after coming to an agreement on the scope of the project. Our project began relatively small but evolved once we saw the amazing quality of Raymundo’s work and included an expansion of our back lawn, mow strips (front and back), replacement of our front walkway, added steps with lights, and paver overlay of our front porch. The quality of Raymundo’s work is unparalleled to any other company we have worked with in the past. Aside from their knowledge and quality of their work, Nick and Raymundo both stand out from others because of their honesty and flexibility. They both went above and beyond our expectations and kept us involved and informed throughout the project. There were a few times during the project that they let me know of minor changes or issues. These were often so minor that I would not have even known or noticed but they were transparent, which allowed us to have a conversation and come to an agreement on next steps. There were many more times where we came to them with questions or changes and they were equally willing to have a conversation and accommodate us whenever possible. My wife and I could not be happier with the outcome of the work with Black Diamond, Nick, and Raymundo. We have already referred them to several family members and friends and will certainly be using them again for future projects."

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.
