Are stump grindings safe to use in the soil or as fillers?

• <div><p>Stump grindings are usually safe to use in soil, but in some cases, it’s not recommended. Wood chips in particular can bind nitrogen in the soil, which will make it difficult for grass to grow. That’s why it’s important to remove most wood chips and use healthy garden soil if you want to cover the stump spot with grass. Large wood chips may attract beetles and could encourage the growth of fungi when they decay, so you may want to remove them when using the grindings. </p></div>

Can you put soil on top of grass to level?

• <div><p>Yes, you can put soil on top of existing grass to level small areas. This is helpful for filling in small divots or leveling out minor dips in your yard that collect rainwater. However, this isn’t a good option if you need to regrade your entire lawn. It’s better to have a professional excavate some of the dirt first so that the level of the lawn doesn’t rise too high.</p></div>

What size landscape boulders should I choose for my yard?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-size-river-rock-is-best-for-landscaping.htm">best size rock for your landscaping</a> depends on the design, as different boulders serve different purposes. If you want to group boulders to create a natural-looking cluster, you’ll need a range of sizes. Otherwise, here are some suggestions:</p><ul><li><p>Small boulders (smaller than 12 inches across): Best for landscape edging and fire pits </p></li><li><p>Medium boulders (12–24 inches): Best for retaining walls and water features</p></li><li><p>Large boulders (more than 24 inches): Best as standalone landscaping features, steps, or walkways.</p></li></ul><p>Of course, you can mix and match sizes to create a unique display.</p></div>

Q: Are Rotting Leaves Good for Soil?

• <div><p>Yes, rotting leaves can be good for your soil. The decaying leaves release nutrients into the soil that can boost the health of your plants, and the organic matter also helps improve airflow and water drainage.</p></div>

Q: Do you need topsoil before hydroseed?

• <div><p>Yes, you need to add topsoil before you hydroseed to ensure the roots can grow deep. You should cultivate and add compost or amendments to your soil before hydroseeding for optimal growth. Without topsoil, your hydroseed might not take root, leading to wasted effort and money down the drain. Soil preparation is key to the success of DIY hydroseeding.</p></div>
