Q: How do I calculate how many boulders I need for my yard?

• <div><p>Determining how many boulders you&rsquo;ll need for your landscaping project depends on the area you need to cover and how big each boulder is. First, you&rsquo;ll need to determine how big of an area you want covered, then divide that by the base surface area of the boulders. A landscape professional can help you determine how many boulders will be right for your project. </p><p></p></div>

Q: Which type of mulch lasts the longest?

• <div><p>Nonorganic mulch, like river rocks, pebbles, or lava rock, technically lasts the longest. It helps with moisture retention and weed control but doesn&rsquo;t break down and release nutrients like organic mulch. Wood mulch decomposes slowly, which can help it last longer than leaf or straw mulch, but it won&rsquo;t provide as many nutrients as quickly as the faster decomposing types.</p></div>

Q: Does mulch attract termites?

• <div><p>No, mulch itself does not necessarily attract termites even though it&rsquo;s usually made of shredded wood. Some types of mulch like cedar or cypress <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/proactive-tips-avoid-termite-damage-your-home.htm">resist termites</a> because they&rsquo;re toxic or unappetizing to the wood munchers. However, when the mulch is deep enough, say three inches or more, it creates a perfect habitat for insects of all kinds to build nests.</p></div>

Q: What should I consider when hydroseeding?

• <div><p>Timing is key when determining the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-tips-seeding-your-lawn.htm">best time to hydroseed your lawn</a>. It&rsquo;s best to hydroseed in the spring or fall due to the already wet conditions of your lawn and the more mild temperatures. </p><p>Your local pro will also offer watering and fertilizer instructions for the months after your application. Make sure you will be available to water it consistently, especially in the first two to three weeks for best results.</p></div>

Q: What do I do with holes after pulling weeds?

• <div><p>You can fill the holes weeds leave behind with soil or sand to avoid unsightly spots or tripping hazards. If you remove weeds from a grassy area, fill the hole with soil and grass seed, and water regularly to promote grass growth. </p></div>

The hardscape around the pool was great. Basically, they cemented the existing flagstones instead of having patches of grass and dirt around the pool. If the work stopped there, I would give them an A. Then they removed the brown lawn on the side of the house, created a drip system for the...
