JPM Landscape
Mulching Companies in Palo Alto
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 23, 2013
“JPM came in and rescued our backyard. Understood our budget limitations and what we wanted and created a backyard paradise that incorporated existing items while adding some new features.

Bloom and Lawn Landscape Inc.
Mulching Companies in Palo Alto
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 7, 2018
“I’d like to commend Joel Tapia of Bloom and Lawn Landscaping and his crew for doing such a terrific landscaping job at our home. Joel is very nice to work with and is very professional. He takes the time to review your needs and offers suggestions. Our new sod lawn and plants make our home look beautiful and brand new. It’s like a model house! Joel took the time to go with us to select the plants to go along with the new lawn. His prices are reasonable and his workers great. We had 1,000 square feet of lawn plus a tree and plants added. The job was done in just two days. We decided to retain them for our biweekly maintenance too. Thank you, Bloom and Lawn, for a job well done! You guys are great! Steve & Liz.”

We can't wait to work with them again for future projects, we can not recommend them enough....overall an excellent experience and amazing work!!!”
A & E Landscapes
Mulching Companies in Palo Alto
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 6, 2022
“For the last few months, my wife and I were considering updating our yard. The idea originally was to freshen up the space with some plants and possibly do some hard-scape as well. We spoke to a couple of landscape contractors but truthfully weren't convinced. Sometime went by and a neighbor suggested to contact A&E Landscapes. This neighbor had had work done by them in the past and was very pleased with the workmanship and final product. I contacted them and spoke to a lady by the name of Ana. She was very pleasant and had a number of questions. We ended the call by agreeing to meet so she can have a better understanding of my wife and I ideas of the project. A day or so went by and we met. I was very surprise how Ana made me feel at ease. She was very detailed on her explanation and very resourceful with blue prints, pictures of current and past projects. Fast forward to now and I am happy to say that the vision my wife and I had for our backyard was met above and beyond! I couldn't say enough about this company. Well done, really.”
Crystal Springs Landscape Inc
Mulching Companies in Palo Alto
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 17, 2020
“Nato Vargas and his team did extensive drainage work for us in 2014. This involved taking down the soil level 4 inches in the back garden, digging and installing several french drains and a sump pump. Since then we've had no water accumulation during subsequent rainy seasons, protecting our foundation. The drainage works perfectly! Nato and team have come back twice, in 2017 and 2020, to repair and stain our back garden fence, resurface the gold fine decomposed granite paths, install a new mail box, replace a garden gate and build a wood shelter for our recology bins. Nato and his team do beautiful work!”

I would give them a five star rating. I am currently hiring their company once again to do more work. Sal is the type of guy that is easy to get along with and my clients loved his input.

Los Altos Landscaping Co
Mulching Companies in Palo Alto
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 21, 2017
“We used Craig's firm to do a complete landscape of our front and backyard in 2016 and 2017. Craig is easy to work with: he doesn't rush decisions; he works with you to create designs; and he hires high quality and hardworking team leaders and workers. When our friends and family walk into our large backyard, for the first time, complete with a gazebo with pink roses running around it, they gasp with delight. In addition, we found his prices to be competitive and fair.”
Lifescape Custom Landscaping, Inc.
Mulching Companies in Palo Alto
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 31, 2014
“As a professional landscape designer, I don't trust just anyone to install my designs, and I'm wary when working with a contractor for the first time. But when my VIP clients needed a swimming pool with spa and waterfall, stone patios and seatwalls, cedar arbors, a built-in BBQ, lighting, plantings, a putting green... the works!... I invited Jeff Veliquette of Lifescape to bid, based on similar projects in his portfolio. My clients ultimately hired Lifescape -- and man, am I glad they did! It was an ambitious design with lots of opportunities for failure... and Lifescape turned it into a stunning success. Somehow Jeff not only kept track of countless details and changes, he and his crew executed them to an extremely high degree of finish. They truly take personal pride in a job well done, and obviously understand the meaning (and value) of terrific client service. Jeff also has great vision, and I was completely comfortable entrusting him to develop my ideas into a beautiful reality. Lifescape's foreman was a consummate professional as well, handling even my unreasonable requests with grace and good humor. All of us are delighted with the outcome of this project; and wary no more, I will be recommending Jeff to install more of my designs in the future.”
SouthBay Design and Landscaping
Mulching Companies in Palo Alto
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 26, 2019
“Southbay Design & Landscaping redid our backyard over 4 years ago, and have been maintaining it ever since. They are very responsive to any requests we have and are thorough in the maintenance of our yard. I appreciate that they will plant new plants for us if we pick them up and have given advice on what kind of plants work around our yard. They even help out by fixing our sprinklers without us asking (we actually hadn’t realized it was broken but were suspicious of why the grass wasn’t growing well in one spot). We appreciate their professionalism and good work.”

Landscaper FAQs
The duration of a mulching project depends on the size of the area to be mulched and the complexity of the job. Small to medium gardens might take a few hours, while larger projects could take a day or more. Your mulching company will give you an estimated timeline after assessing your project.
Your Mulching Company can advise on the best materials based on your soil type, climate, and garden design. Organic mulches like wood chips or straw are popular for their soil-improving benefits, while inorganic mulches such as rubber or rocks might be preferred for specific aesthetic or functional purposes. Trends might include color-coordinated mulch or using mulch to create pathways or define spaces in your garden.
Before mulching, clear the area of weeds and debris. Water the soil if its dry, as mulch will help to retain moisture. Consider edging your beds or defining areas to keep mulch in place. Finally, communicate any specific requests or concerns to your Mulching Company to ensure the best results.
Common challenges include selecting the wrong type of mulch for the plants or climate, applying too much or too little, and not adequately preparing the area. A professional Mulching Company can overcome these challenges through their expertise, ensuring the right amount and type of mulch is used and properly preparing the garden beds.
Yes, professional mulching can improve curb appeal, contributing to a well-maintained and aesthetically pleasing landscape. This not only makes your property more enjoyable to live in but can also increase its value by enhancing its overall appeal to potential buyers.
Mulching, especially with organic materials, is considered environmentally friendly. It helps to conserve water, reduces the need for chemical weed controls, and as organic mulch decomposes, it adds beneficial nutrients back into the soil. Choosing locally sourced mulch can also reduce your carbon footprint.
