"Excellent. Patrick was the absolute best! My yard looks amazing and will look even better when the grass fully comes up! Patrick was here every morning as promised and it seemed like he never stopped working until end of day. He turned my nightmare yard into beauty. His prices were quite reasonable and he was always polite and informative if any changes needed to be made. He even came back and monitored the yard for seed replacement if needed. He will also be cutting my lawn when it comes in. I cannot say enough of how wonderful he is and the job that he did. I highly recommend that you hire him for any lawn work you need done."

We are Carmelo's landscaping LLC. We provide a professional and safe service. Businesses started back in 2012 by Carmelo himself and still working with the crew to help bring the best. We service the Tri state area, mainly Chester County & Delco

"Carmelo and Miguel did a superb job at removing leaves from our yard. We took advantage of the "deal" for 2 hours of work by 2 men, and prioritized the most important areas to focus on. Carmelo and Miguel were terrific, they worked hard to get as much done as possible within the time frame, and were very amenable to focusing on the main areas we requested help with. One thing we did not realize was that the time required to take the leaves to the disposal area needed to come out of the total time allotted, so we weren't able to get everything completed as we had hoped, but the job was well done, and the price paid was worth hiring someone to do it. Definitely would like to employ their service in the future."

"Hard to find ANYTHING that went wrong on this project! I dealt with Chad from the initial estimate to the final payment and he was exceptional in every way. After giving me some great creative suggestions about the garden and selection of plants, Chad had his crew in/out in a single day. They completely removed a huge maple tree (stump grinded and roots taken out); removed the original grass and replaced it all with some fantastic looking fescue Sod. Another tree was removed on the side of the house and the garden was installed including 8 plants and decorative river rock accents. Very impressive. At 1 point we had 10 guys doing there thing. They were all very hard working and polite (a plus). They took 2 1/2 hour breaks and each knew exactly their role without having to be micromanaged. They worked very well together. I am confident I got the best job possible at a very reasonable price! Highly recommended vendor. (Ask for Chad if you call them)."

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.
