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>

Q: What kind of plants can I place under my rain chain or downspout?

• <div><p>Unless it only rains once in a blue moon where you live, you&rsquo;re going to want water-loving plants in your garden bed or pot. A few ideas for plants that aren&rsquo;t super fast-growing (meaning they&rsquo;re good in pots or near foundations) and can handle a lot of standing water include: </p><ul><li><p>Acorus (Sweet flag)</p></li><li><p>Colocasia esculenta (Taro or elephant ear): In many climates, these are annuals, making them less desirable because you need to adjust the chain again after each replant.</p></li><li><p>Equisetum scirpoides (Dwarf horsetail rush): non-dwarf varieties of horsetail are fast growers and can take over quickly.</p></li><li><p>Juncus effusus (Curly rush)</p></li><li><p>Osmunda regalis (Royal fern): Royal fern can grow quickly but can also handle being crowded, making them good container plants.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: How far apart should privet be planted?

• <div><p>Plant privet hedges at least 1 foot apart in a trench about 2 feet wide and 2 feet deep. It&rsquo;s important to space privet hedges relatively far apart due to how quickly they grow to significant sizes and heights. You don&rsquo;t want to crowd privet plants, or they could overcrowd each other, causing unwanted damage.</p></div>

Q: What if I can’t plant my branch right away?

• <div><p>Don&rsquo;t worry if there&rsquo;s a gap between cutting and planting an ideal branch. You can still cut the perfect branch when you see it. If you can&rsquo;t get it in a pot or water right away, put it in a zip-top bag in the refrigerator. When you&rsquo;re ready to finish the process, make a fresh cut.</p></div>

Q: What benefits does lakefront landscaping offer?

• <div><p>Lakefront landscaping offers benefits such as enhancing aesthetic appeal, increasing property value, supporting ecological balance, and providing recreational opportunities while preserving the shoreline's natural beauty.</p></div>

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Unless it only rains once in a blue moon where you live, you’re going to want water-loving plants in your garden bed or pot. A few ideas for plants that aren’t super fast-growing (meaning they’re good in pots or near foundations) and can handle a lot of standing water include:

Acorus (Sweet flag)
Colocasia esculenta (Taro or elephant ear): In many climates, these are annuals, making them less desirable because you need to adjust the chain again after each replant.
Equisetum scirpoides (Dwarf horsetail rush): non-dwarf varieties of horsetail are fast growers and can take over quickly.
Juncus effusus (Curly rush)
Osmunda regalis (Royal fern): Royal fern can grow quickly but can also handle being crowded, making them good container plants.

Plant privet hedges at least 1 foot apart in a trench about 2 feet wide and 2 feet deep. It’s important to space privet hedges relatively far apart due to how quickly they grow to significant sizes and heights. You don’t want to crowd privet plants, or they could overcrowd each other, causing unwanted damage.

Don’t worry if there’s a gap between cutting and planting an ideal branch. You can still cut the perfect branch when you see it. If you can’t get it in a pot or water right away, put it in a zip-top bag in the refrigerator. When you’re ready to finish the process, make a fresh cut.

Lakefront landscaping offers benefits such as enhancing aesthetic appeal, increasing property value, supporting ecological balance, and providing recreational opportunities while preserving the shoreline's natural beauty.
