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>

Q: What wood is bad for mulch?

• <div><p>Wood from black walnut, magnolia, eucalyptus, red maple, and invasive species like tree of heaven are not recommended for mulching. These trees release allelochemicals that can suppress plant growth. Some homeowners, however, use wood from these trees for mulching if it is less potent due to age or concentration, or if the plants are not as sensitive to them.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between river rock and landscape rock?

• <div><p>The difference between river rock and landscaping rocks is size, smoothness, and use. River rocks are smooth and flat, as if polished by water, and come in diameters between 1 and 8 inches. Landscape rock can vary in size from small pea gravel installations to car-sized boulders. However, landscaping and river rocks are interchangeable in many situations. River rock is best for pathways, walkways, garden bed mulch, water features, and planting accents, while small landscape rocks can serve as a walkway base, gravel playground areas, and filler between pavers.</p></div>

Q: What is the best soil to put around a house foundation?

• <div><p>The best soil to put around a house foundation is<b> fill dirt</b>, which is soil that&rsquo;s specifically designed for covering large areas and filling in holes. Don&rsquo;t waste money regrading around your foundation with expensive topsoil. Use topsoil only for the last layer of soil, about 5 to 10 inches, so that when you do your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/foundation-planting.htm">foundation planting</a>, your grass and plants will have the nutrients they need to grow.</p></div>

Q: How do I measure the amount of mulch I need?

• <div><p>The ideal amount of mulch is the square footage of your desired depth in inches divided by 324. Aim to keep your old and/or new mulch at a depth of no more than three or four inches.</p></div>
