Plant Watering questions, answered by experts

Your hot tub manufacturer may have a recommended frequency for how often you should change the water, but most experts advise draining, cleaning, and refilling every three to four months, or seasonally. If you use it frequently, if a lot of people use the hot tub, if your dog goes in the hot tub, or if you do not clean and maintain it between water changes, you should consider changing the water even more often. You should refill it if the water becomes foamy, filmy, discolored, or smells different than usual.

While they’re popular and have a lot of pros, the cons of river rocks include the following:

River rocks don’t break down or provide nutrients to plants.
These stones can get hot and scorch nearby plants.
River stones may heat the surrounding soil to inhospitable temperatures.
Rocks can block rainwater from seeping into the ground if installations are too thick or tightly packed.

Most downsides occur when using river rock as mulch in gardens and flower beds. However, you can still incorporate river rocks into your landscape as long as you use them in the correct ways.

Every one to three months, you should perform regular fountain maintenance, including draining, cleaning, and rinsing the components of your fountain basin and the pump and tubing to prevent algae and other buildup. Fountain maintenance also includes keeping the appropriate water level and removing debris like leaves, insects, and twigs from the water to avoid clogging the pump. You can also hire a professional landscaper to clean your fountain for around $50 to $150 per month on average.

You can choose several types of fountains to add to your backyard, ranging in size, number of basins, and special water features.

Check out the price ranges of common fountain types:

Birdbath fountains: $40 to $1,100
Cascading fountains: $40 to $2,000
Tiered fountains: $100 to $6,000
Kugel fountains: $150 to $5,000
Glass wall fountains: $100 to $3,000

Yes, professional services include proper electrical wiring and plumbing setup for continuous water circulation.
