Q: What factors affect the cost of landscape material delivery?

Q: What should you do with areas of grass that won't grow?

• <div><p>There are several reasons <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/why-dead-grass-your-lawn-inevitable.htm">your grass may be dying</a> that could be in or out of your control.

Q: How much does 3 yards of river rock cost?

• <div><p>If you hire a professional landscaper, you could expect to pay between $90 and $660 to install three cubic yards of river rock. (That&rsquo;s based on the average river rock installation cost of $30 to $220 per cubic yard.) However, the exact price depends on the kind of river rock you choose. Crushed limestone and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-rip-rap.htm">riprap</a> are some of the more affordable options, while boulders and Arizona river rock are pricier.</p></div>

Q: Do I need a base layer for a gravel driveway?

• <div><p>When laying gravel, it's often a good idea to apply a base layer, such as sand or crushed concrete. You may also want to layer a weed-blocking membrane on top of the base layer to prevent weeds and grass from sprouting up in your gravel driveway. Without the appropriate base layer, the gravel you lay may sink into the soil.</p><p> </p></div>
