What do you put under a rock garden?

• <div><p>The most important thing to put under a rock garden is the appropriate soil. The specific soil needed will depend on the type of plants you’re growing as well as the environment you live in. You can also put non-woven or woven fabric under the rocks to add to the garden's structural stability.</p></div>

Q: What is the best soil to put around a house foundation?

• <div><p>The best soil to put around a house foundation is<b> fill dirt</b>, which is soil that&rsquo;s specifically designed for covering large areas and filling in holes. Don&rsquo;t waste money regrading around your foundation with expensive topsoil. Use topsoil only for the last layer of soil, about 5 to 10 inches, so that when you do your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/foundation-planting.htm">foundation planting</a>, your grass and plants will have the nutrients they need to grow.</p></div>

Q: Will a yard of dirt fit in a pickup?

• <div><p>Yes, a cubic yard of dirt will fit in most standard-size pickup trucks. However, consider the truck&rsquo;s payload as well as the truck bed dimensions before loading it up with dirt. Soil can be quite heavy, and if the total weight of a yard of dirt exceeds your truck&rsquo;s payload capacity, you risk damaging the chassis and suspension.</p><p> </p></div>

Q: Is colored mulch bad for plants?

• <div><p>Colored mulch can be bad for plants in that it robs them of nitrogen as it depletes the soil to break itself down. With this in mind, it&rsquo;s a good idea to test your soil to check the nitrogen levels. If the nitrogen levels are low, use fertilizer with extra nitrogen or switch to regular mulch.</p><p>Another downside of colored mulch is if it&rsquo;s heavily contaminated, it can contaminate the soil and damage your plants. To avoid this, look for the MSC certification logo on the mulch bag before purchasing.</p></div>

Q: Can you lay pea gravel directly on dirt?

• <div><p>Yes, you can lay pea gravel directly on the dirt. First, dig a trench 2 to 6 inches deep the length and width of the area you want to cover. Plants and weeds will eventually grow through the pea gravel if you don&rsquo;t lay down landscaping cloth.</p></div>

I have used burnetts to purchase bulk mulch and soil for a raised garden bed. The quality for the price is the best in the area!

Everything went perfectly. I was a little worried because they were using the neighbor's yard to get their truck to the tree, but you couldn't even tell they were there when they left except of course the dead tree was gone. In fact, it was even a bit cleaner. They even made a little mulch...

Buddy was great. He worked around rain storms and my schedule so he could get everything done as timely as mother nature would allow. The end result was fantastic, the yard looks good, the flower beds are clean, weeded and have fresh mulch down. Best of all I don't have a sore back and get to...
