Q: When should you plant a peach tree?

• <div><p>Plant a peach tree right at the end of your local dormancy period, likely at the very end of winter after the last frost when you can dig into the soft soil. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/when-s-best-time-plant.htm">Plan your backyard gardening season</a>, including when planting peach trees, based on the frost schedule predicted in your local hardiness zone.</p></div>

Q: Can you plant junipers close to the house?

• <div><p>When planting, it's best to leave several feet between a house and a juniper bush. Many juniper varieties will become quite bushy and require space to grow. Juniper branches that come into contact with siding can damage the home's exterior over time. Also, some juniper bushes have aggressive roots that can put pressure on a home's foundation or basement walls. </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: 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: Which additional landscaping or backyard improvement tasks can be undertaken concurrently with constructing a greenhouse?

• <div><p>As long as you&rsquo;re building a greenhouse, consider the overall look of your backyard. Could it benefit from stone walkways or grading? As long as you&rsquo;re hiring a hardscaping pro to lay the foundation for a greenhouse, you could tackle those other projects to give your whole yard a glow-up at the same time.</p></div>

When planting, it's best to leave several feet between a house and a juniper bush. Many juniper varieties will become quite bushy and require space to grow. Juniper branches that come into contact with siding can damage the home's exterior over time. Also, some juniper bushes have aggressive roots that can put pressure on a home's foundation or basement walls.

As much as you might try to keep a healthy, nutrient-rich lawn, you still may notice signs of St. Augustine decline (SAD)—a viral disease that discolors your grass blades. St. Augustine decline looks like:

Discoloration in the leaves (chlorosis)—leaves appear yellow and splotchy
Decline in growth
Leaves turn black within 3 years
Grass appears less vibrant
Grass begins to thin
Root rot
Grass takes longer to recover
