"I'm going to try and remain as objective as possible in this review, but do yourself a favor and DO NOT hire TruGreen. After several years with a local lawn care company, I was enticed to switch over to TruGreen given the number of promotions being offered. I had used TruGreen at another residence and was not happy, but it was over a decade ago, and I thought it couldn't hurt to give them a second chance. I was dead wrong. First, the actual service constantly would get rescheduled, and when someone did actually come out to treat the lawn, they would be here for no more than 10 minutes. I can verify that given that I work remotely and know exactly when they arrive compliments of our family dog's barking notification. The robotic service was evident in the worsening condition of the lawn. And while it could be dependent on things I did wrong in my upkeep, I'm aware of what length to mow the lawn and do have an automated sprinkler system to make sure it receives enough water. During rainy periods, I turn that off as to not overwater. The condition of the lawn was the worst I've ever seen in every facet from weeds to spotting to the overall color of the lawn. Next, the customer service element appears friendly and available, but does not actually solve any problems. I simply tried to cancel my service. If TruGreen hired as many service people as they do sales people, they may actually have a chance. I was getting calls around the clock from individuals trying to restore service and harass me about the condition of my surrounding trees and bushes to upsell even more services. How about you focus on what you were hired to do, and do that well, before you push yourselves for more revenue? Customer service's solution was to send someone out to do an "analysis." This is code for "we're restoring your services without your permission" as if they "saved" the account. The analysis revealed nothing despite the feedback, and there was no willingness to explain the findings, just that this step was completed. I finally had enough and canceled all services plus pushed to be removed from all sales lists. This is a joke of a company that has no desire to provide anyone with good lawn care services. This is a greedy, revenue first, sales staff over service team members focused organization. If I could give a negative rating, I would, but here we are."

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.

Since the nature of the landscaping project can heavily influence the overall cost, it helps to understand what different types of landscaping projects cost on average. For example:

  • Plant a tree: $100–$2,000

  • Build a retaining wall: $3,250–$9,200

  • Reseed a lawn: $450–$1,700

  • Install a water fountain: $950–$4,800

  • Install a paver patio: $2,400–$7,000

  • Install a concrete walkway: $1,200–$2,400

  • Install a flower bed: $800–$3,000

  • Landscape lighting: $2,000–$6,000

Replace organic mulch every one to two years, 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—such as rock and rubber chips—can stay in place for up to four years, depending on erosion and general garden upkeep. 

The best way to keep dirt around your foundation is to ensure your drainage is working properly and redirecting water well away from the foundation. Soil erosion is one of the most common causes of basement flooding, so it’s important to make sure you’re retaining the soil you replaced after learning how to regrade around the foundation. In addition, your foundation planting can also help prevent erosion. For example, plant roots to help keep soil in place.

Colored mulch can be bad for plants in that it robs them of nitrogen as it depletes the soil to break itself down. With this in mind, it’s a good idea to test your soil to check the nitrogen levels. If the nitrogen levels are low, use fertilizer with extra nitrogen or switch to regular mulch.

Another downside of colored mulch is if it’s heavily contaminated, it can contaminate the soil and damage your plants. To avoid this, look for the MSC certification logo on the mulch bag before purchasing.
