Q: How do I slope water away from my house?

• <div><p>The soil around your foundation should slope down and away from your home, not toward it. If the grading drops the farther you are from your home, you can enhance the slope by removing more soil. Mark off a few feet from your house and dig up some of this soil. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-do-i-regrade-around-my-house-foundation.htm">Regrading around your fountain</a> should encourage water to flow away from your home and not collect or &ldquo;pond.&rdquo; </p></div>

Q: What is the best ground cover for a septic field?

• <div><p>The best <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/landscaping-around-your-septic-system.htm">landscaping for a septic drain field</a> is shallow-rooted grass or native vegetation that helps prevent soil erosion while allowing water to evaporate efficiently. Avoid planting trees, shrubs, or deep-rooted plants near the drain field because the roots can infiltrate pipes and cause blockages. Using mulch or gravel sparingly can also help retain moisture and protect the system without restricting airflow.</p></div>

Q: Which additional initiatives should I undertake concurrently to enhance my home's appeal?

• <div><p>You'll likely need more than great home staging to sell your home. Now is a great time to get to work on the curb appeal of your home . Hire local exterior painters and landscapers to coat the exterior of your home and bring it new life with some sprucing up.</p></div>

Q: How cold is too cold for landscaping?

• <div><p>You should avoid planting grass, shrubs, plants, and trees in freezing temperatures, as the ground can get frozen and become too hard for proper root growth. It&rsquo;s best to plant in the fall to allow your plants to establish root systems before the first frost. Landscaping when the average temperature in your area is between 50 and 60 degrees will usually deliver the best results.</p></div>

Q: Should I buy plants from a greenhouse or let my landscaper buy them?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s usually best to buy plants from a local greenhouse or nursery yourself, but landscapers are also a reliable option. First, you can choose exactly what plants you want based on their appearance rather than relying on your landscaper to choose. Additionally, while it&rsquo;s more time-consuming to go buy the plants yourself, you&rsquo;ll often save money because landscapers charge for delivery and may upcharge the plants. You can also speak to a professional at a nursery to ensure you understand how to care for your plants and get the most long-term value.</p></div>
