It’s only natural that once Spring or Summer rolls around, our thoughts turn mostly to yard design and renovation projects. The warm weather and long days make us want to spend as much time outside as possible and rev up our hardscapes for relaxation and entertaining.
What many homeowners don’t realize is that Fall and Winter are actually ideal seasons to plan and install hardscapes for these reasons.
- Cost Savings – Contractors are not as busy
- Quicker Turn-a-Round – Hardscaping products in Inventory
- Less Damage to your Yard – Turf may be frozen.
- Less Disruption – Not using your yard.
- Often Ideal Weather – Many nice low humidity days in early winter.

Homeowners ask what is the difference between Topsoil and Compost. Topsoil is the upper, outermost layer of soil having a high concentration of organic matter and microorganisms. RSSY stocks Landscape Topsoil that is screened and recommended for fill and landscape leveling only. RSSY has leaf compost that is a product that results from naturally decomposing organic material.
An alternative to compost is our RSSY Blends (70% hardwood fines and 30% Bloom DC Water’s Class A exceptional biosolids product) and is a great alternative to compost, providing organic matter as well as nutrients to stimulate improved plant growth of all kinds including turf, flowers, trees, and vegetable gardens. Call (703) 339-8095 to discuss with our staff your topsoil or compost application or visit our website for more details.
Your plants and trees can never have too much mulch, but generally a three-inch layer provides an effective and attractive covering. Mulch delivers all kinds of benefits, from helping to keep soil from drying out, to improving water penetration and air movement, to protecting plant roots and keeping weed growth at bay. Call (703) 339-8095 to discuss with our staff your mulch application. Take notice our website mulch photos and colors may vary, so we encourage you to visit the Yard to make your texture and color selection.
