Q: What is the best soil to put around a house foundation?

• <div><p>The best soil to put around a house foundation is<b> fill dirt</b>, which is soil that&rsquo;s specifically designed for covering large areas and filling in holes. Don&rsquo;t waste money regrading around your foundation with expensive topsoil. Use topsoil only for the last layer of soil, about 5 to 10 inches, so that when you do your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/foundation-planting.htm">foundation planting</a>, your grass and plants will have the nutrients they need to grow.</p></div>

Q: Should I put sand under my stepping stones?

• <div><p>Using sand under stepping stones can be beneficial in certain situations. Sand can help level the ground and provide stability for the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/five-stepping-stone-designs-try.htm">stepping stones</a>, especially if the ground is uneven. It also allows for minor adjustments during the installation process. However, sand may not be the best choice for all environments. In areas with high foot traffic or heavy rain, sand may wash away or become displaced, leading to an uneven surface. In such cases, a more stable base material like gravel or crushed stone is preferable. Consider your specific landscape conditions before deciding whether to use sand under stepping stones.</p></div>

Q: How do I measure how much compost to use?

• <div><p>Most experts recommend a quarter-inch layer of compost for best results, and you will need about .77 cubic yards of material per 1,000 square feet. To measure how much compost to use, take the square footage of your yard and multiply it by .77, then divide that number by 1,000.</p></div>

Q: How do I prepare my yard for river rock?

• <div><p>To prepare your yard for river rocks, smaller rocks may require laying landscape fabric to keep the stones from sinking into the ground while encouraging proper water drainage. You should also clear the land of weeds and larger boulders and, in some cases, test the density of the soil to ensure it can handle the weight.</p></div>

Q: How do I measure the amount of mulch I need?

• <div><p>The ideal amount of mulch is the square footage of your desired depth in inches divided by 324. Aim to keep your old and/or new mulch at a depth of no more than three or four inches.</p></div>
