Q: What can I plant over my septic leach field?

• <div><p>Grass is the most popular and safest option for planting over a septic drain field, but you can also plant small flowering plants and other lightweight plants that don&rsquo;t have woody or deep roots. Avoid trees and bushes within 10 feet of the field, as the woody roots can crack the perforated pipes. You should also avoid planting vegetable or fruit gardens over your drain field, as a leak from the pipes could contaminate the soil and put anyone who eats the produce at risk.</p><p> </p></div>

Q: Are landscaping costs worth the investment?

• <div><p>Landscaping costs can pay off by helping your home sell faster, and homes with professionally landscaped properties can sell for higher prices. By maintaining lush, healthy landscaping, you&rsquo;ll increase your home&rsquo;s curb appeal, and you get to enjoy the improvements. This is especially true if you install an outdoor living area as a gathering place for the family and a quiet respite to relax.</p></div>

Q: How much will 4 yards of dirt cover?

• <div><p>How much 4 yards of dirt will cover depends on how deep you want the soil to be. In general, a yard of dirt will cover 324 square feet for a 1-inch depth or 100 square feet for a 3-inch depth. Therefore, you can expect 4 yards to cover between 400 and 1,296 square feet if you keep your soil depth between 1 and 3 inches.</p></div>

Q: Can you put topsoil over sand to grow grass?

• <div><p>Yes, you can put topsoil over sand to encourage grass growth. The topsoil will help to improve water retention and promote grass roots&rsquo; development, making it a recommended step of the seeding process. Adding a layer of topsoil will provide additional nutrients to the sandy soil, helping the grass grow and remain healthy through many seasons.</p></div>

Q: Do rock gardens need water?

• <div><p>Yes, rock gardens do need water. That said, they typically require less regular watering and, instead, more occasional, deep watering since the rocks trap moisture for longer than mulch. Make sure you don&rsquo;t water your rock garden too much during the winter. </p></div>

Our backyard was graded wrong so Stork Landscaping dug us out and the retaining walls re-shifted the way the water flows, so it would flow around the house and not in the house, dug out the patio and pour new concrete. They didn’t have to do this but they did – we have part of the back end of...

They let the lawn grow too high; refuse to mow areas of lawn; turned on irrigation system, but failed to "winterize" it so that it was destroyed when the pipes froze in winter. Never removed a weed from landscaped beds.
