Q: What simultaneous yard projects are recommended while installing a drainage system?

• <div><p>Since you&rsquo;ll likely be digging a trench to install your yard drainage system, this is a good time to complete other tasks that involve digging up your yard, including: Sprinkler system installation Lawn reseeding Regrading your yard Redesigning your landscaping If your drain is under a walkway or driveway, your contractor must also remove those materials. This is a great time to consider upgrading your hardscaping features, especially if they&rsquo;re nearing the end of their life span.</p></div>

Q: Do services include eco-friendly options?

• <div><p>Yes, many providers offer organic or eco-friendly treatments. Confirm availability with your contractor.</p></div>

Q: What does St. Augustine decline look like?

• <div><p>As much as you might try to keep a healthy, nutrient-rich lawn, you still may notice signs of St. Augustine decline (SAD)&mdash;a viral disease that discolors your grass blades. St. Augustine decline looks like:</p><ul><li><p>Discoloration in the leaves (chlorosis)&mdash;leaves appear yellow and splotchy</p></li><li><p>Decline in growth</p></li><li><p>Leaves turn black within 3 years</p></li><li><p>Grass appears less vibrant</p></li><li><p>Grass begins to thin</p></li><li><p>Root rot</p></li><li><p>Grass takes longer to recover</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: How do I slope water away from my house?

• <div><p>The soil around your foundation should slope down and away from your home, not toward it. If the grading drops the farther you are from your home, you can enhance the slope by removing more soil. Mark off a few feet from your house and dig up some of this soil. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-do-i-regrade-around-my-house-foundation.htm">Regrading around your fountain</a> should encourage water to flow away from your home and not collect or &ldquo;pond.&rdquo; </p></div>

Q: Is it better to plant small or large trees?

• <div><p>It depends. Smaller, younger trees take longer to mature, but they're more resilient, their roots don't get as damaged during transplanting, and they recover faster. Plus, they're much more affordable to plant, and it's possible to DIY the planting. </p><p>On the other hand, mature trees produce fruit faster and provide more shade and privacy immediately. Ideally, a small or medium tree is the better choice if you can wait a few years for it to mature. But if you need immediate maturity, a larger tree is the only option.</p></div>
