“I hired and her team to update the exterior of our house some construction on my home. Including landscaping and new containers for the plants. I was extremely pleased with the completed work. Patty delivered exactly what she said her team would do. It was completed on time and her time were professional and left the job site spotless at the end of everyday of work.”
Gravel To Gold, Inc.
Mulching Companies in University City
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 27, 2018
“Gravel to Gold took on a large hardscaping and landscaping project at our 1940s bungalow in Pacific Beach. The work entailed removal of many truckloads of old grass and debris, and much tedious prep work to lay the foundations of a successful planting plan, including irrigation, LED lighting, and specific "obscuring" objectives. GtoG was the designer and general contractor, with the concrete work sub-ed out to a trusted contractor with many decades of experience. The final product is beyond expectations and was completed in almost exactly the predicted time. GtoG even re-did some of the work that to me was perfect, but that did not meet their very high standards. In the end we paid what we were told the cost would be to within just a few percent (there are always surprises in work like this), but the accuracy with regard to budget and timing is the best I've ever encountered by a wide margin. We would definitely use GtoG again, and in fact we are on our new project, a much bigger remodel of a 1920s Spanish-style house. Highest recommendation.”
Terra Group Landscape
Mulching Companies in University City
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 6, 2018
“We were very pleased with the way Terra Group worked with us to provide a wonderful landscape plan within our budget. They were very professional and explained what they were doing at every step and the final installation was beautiful. I am upgrading my earlier review of this business based on more recent experience with Terra Group. They are a small group and very busy, which is a great recommendation in itself,”
Nature Designs Landscaping
Mulching Companies in University City
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 22, 2014
“I hired Nature Designs about 6 months ago to get my landscaping in order. My previous gardeners weren't the best at keeping things as nice as I'd like (although I'll admit they were very inexpensive). I am very pleased with Nature Designs. Very professional, personable, they listen, understand and follow-through with requests and are very pro-active. Ernie was great at getting things started and Teri is a dream to work! The crew is professional and pro-active. Would highly recommend. They aren't the cheapest, but worth the extra $$.”
Belle Terre Landscapes
Mulching Companies in University City
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 26, 2012
“Belle Terre did an outstanding job on the entire landscaping of our new home in Scripps Ranch about 10 years ago. When we moved to Kensington last year we called Janet to help us remodel the landscape and hardscape of our new home. We wanted a low maintenance backyard and wanted to utilize as much of the existing brickwork and trees and plants as possible. She did an outstanding job designing and installing hardscape, a new front courtyard, wrought fencing, new sprinklers and drip lines, brick work, lighting, patio cover and planting. What is most impressive is the quality of the work and the attention to detail. Her entire team of employees are dedicated and very professional. They took the time to dig up many of the existing plants and use them again when the remodel was done. They tied some existing brick work into the new brickwork and it turned out perfectly. They were ahead of schedule and did most of the remodel while we were traveling. Janet kept us up to date with the progress and any questions we had via email and text. We love our new outdoor living areas. We now feel like we have a outdoor living room in the front and back yard of our home. It is so rare to find a contractor who is honest, does what they say they are going to do and does it within the budget, and on time. We cannot say enough good things about this company.”
Rivers Landscape Construction
Mulching Companies in University City
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 7, 2014
“What can I say? These guys are amazing! Family owned and operated business. Respectful workers. The quality of their work is awesome. We live in San Elijo Hills (a suburb of San Diego), in a brand new neighborhood. When we moved in there was nothing but a dirt yard. Gabriel and his brother Tony (and their cousin Gus) have a crew of about 30 people. They are highly skilled and can do everything from softscape to hardscape work. We put in an elaborate outdoor kitchen, travertine decking, artificial turf in our courtyard (we love the turf), retaining walls, a fruit and vegetable garden, a beautiful entry way with travertine and stone work, a front yard with steps and a garden with succulents, etc. My wife and I are extremely picky and changed things throughout the job. Gabriel never complained about the constant changes and didn't nickel and dime us to death like others tend to do. The real bonus with these guys is that Gabriel created a 3D design (for free) of the entire project from end to end so we could see what we were getting before the work ever started. Oh, and I can't forget to mention that their prices came in remarkably lower than others who quoted the job. Sincerely I cannot say enough good things about Rivers and their owners, workers etc.”
GALA Services Inc
Mulching Companies in University City
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 1, 2016
“Gala services turned my dead front lawn and depressing hedges into an lovely outdoor space with a fenced patio, raised beds and a rose garden. We went from the blight of the neighborhood hanging our heads with shame during street parties to the best yard on the block!”
Dave Suda Landscape & Irrigation Repairs
Mulching Companies in University City
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 2, 2016
“As the Landscape Committee Chair for a small Mission Valley HOA, I reached out to Dave Suda Landscaping several years ago to provide monthly maintenace and irrigation services. After working with four different firms, I had grown skeptical of the whole industry. They all talked a good story at the beginning but after a year or two, the quality of work and oversight diminished. The thing I liked most about Dave Suda Landscape is Dave Suda. He's a real person who takes responsibility for his company's work. If you've worked with larger firms you know what I mean! I was tired of dealing with a new project manager every six months. With Dave on board, I have enjoyed a consistent and thorough work process. Dave Suda Landscape has been taking care of our community of 97 homes for over four years now. He has been responsible for over twenty-five thousand dollars worth of planting and irrigation upgrades. His proposals are detailed and competitively priced. I know I can always count on Dave to do the job right!”
Water Saving Landscapes
Mulching Companies in University City
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 19, 2016
“We were looking for a company that would take on our project that would be responsive and flexible. We knew we needed to do "something" but were not sure what. Rick worked with us to not only design the project, but assisted with budgeting and cost saving ideas - both in the short- and long-run. We appreciated his design ideas, as well as his practical solutions. The best thing: He does NOT have an ego. He wants YOU to like the final product as well. He did such a great job that the next door neighbor and the neighbor across the street are now hiring him!”

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.
