How do you prepare the ground for planting a tree?

• <div><p>First, dig a hole that’s the same depth as the root ball and wide enough for the roots to spread out fully. Before placing the tree in the hole, pour water in to help get rid of any air pockets in the soil.</p><p>When filling the hole back in, opt for a 1:1 ratio of organic compost with the soil left over from the ground. Do not use potting soil, fertilizer, or chemicals of any kind, as these can stress out and kill your newly planted tree.</p></div>

What is the least expensive way to keep grass from growing?

• <div><p>The least costly way to keep grass from growing is also the most labor-intensive: regular weeding. Pull out grass blades as you see them pop up through the soil in areas where they’re unwanted. Another cost-effective way to keep grass from growing is by spreading a thick layer of mulch on the area as this will suffocate the grass.</p></div>

Should you remove old mulch before putting down new mulch?

• <div><p>Mulch is made from natural materials, which will break down and add nutrients to your soil for better plant and soil health, so removing old mulch is unnecessary before putting down new mulch. However, if you live in a particularly moist area, it’s possible that the old mulch will harbor fungus or mold, which can hurt plant health. If you notice these issues, you might want to consider removing the old mulch first. Otherwise, save time and money by placing new mulch right over the old mulch.</p></div>

What do you put under artificial grass?

• <div><p>You need to put shock-absorbent material under artificial grass. While it will depend on where exactly you’re placing artificial grass, there are a few different options you could use such as silica sand, granite sand, astro-cushion, weed membrane, and geo-textile paper.</p></div>

Q: Do you need to compact crushed stone or gravel?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re using crushed stone or gravel as a base material, then yes, you should compact it to prevent movement of the top layers. For instance, if you don&rsquo;t compact crushed stone or gravel and you lay pavers on top of them, the pavers will shift over time. However, if you&rsquo;re using gravel or crushed stone as a top layer for aesthetic purposes, you might not want to compact the materials.</p></div>
