What is the best mulch to put around a tree?

• <div><p>The best mulches for trees are wood chips, bark nuggets, or pine straw. Depending on your goals, you may want to avoid using plastic, stone, rubber, or wet grass clippings. Plastic mulch prevents water from reaching the mulched areas of your tree, stones don’t offer any nutritional benefits to the soil, rubber can release byproducts into the soil when it decomposes, and wet grass clippings can lead to rot. </p><p>Plastic may prove beneficial in cold climates in the winter, but wood chips are the ideal option for most environments.</p></div>

Q: What time of year is best to mulch?

• <div><p>Mid to late spring is the best time of year to mulch. If you do it too early in the spring, the mulch could slow down the warming process of the soil and affect how well plants grow. By mid to late spring the temperatures are usually steadying, making it an ideal time to spread mulch.</p></div>

Q: What can I use to make my driveway less slippery if I don’t have a deicer?

• <div><p>If a big freeze catches you by surprise and you don&rsquo;t have any deicer to hand, you can reduce the chance of taking a tumble by laying gritty, anti-slip materials. Some natural, readily-available options that don&rsquo;t melt ice but offer traction underfoot include sand, wood shavings, kitty litter, and fireplace ash.</p></div>

Q: What should you put underneath artificial grass?

• <div><p>Artificial turf usually requires some sort of base. If you&rsquo;re installing the grass over soil, you&rsquo;ll want to add a weed barrier (weeds can damage your fake grass) and an artificial grass sub-base . Typically, this is a mixture of gravel and sand, like crushed miscellaneous base (CMB) or decomposed granite. If you're placing turf over concrete, you can skip the sub base and use a padded underlayment.</p></div>

Q: Is gravel just crushed rock?

• <div><p>No, gravel and crushed rock are different. Crushed rock is made in a quarry and has sharp, jagged edges. It&rsquo;s most commonly used for building and construction.</p><p>Gravel naturally occurs in river beds or lakes and features smooth edges, making it a better choice for landscaping or other decorative areas. Like crushed stone, gravel can also be found in quarries, but it&rsquo;s typically due to rock-on-rock erosion rather than machinery.</p></div>

"Rene was prompt on arrival to start working on my yard. There was much to be done in both front and back, I needed both lawns mowed and edged. which needed much work. Had Rene remove all vegetation from front. In the back yard the ivy from neighboring yard was invading my yard. He cut all to top of my fence. I am very pleased with the work and the clean up. He will now do lawn, edging and weed maintance every two weeks. If you want a hard working young man I recommend calling him, Price is very reasonable."
