How much mulch do I need?

• <div><p>When you purchase mulch for delivery, it’s usually by the cubic yard, so you’ll want to convert your space to cubic yards to get the right amount. First, determine the square footage of the area you want to cover, and then determine how deep the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/preparing-your-landscape-garden-mulch.htm">bed of mulch</a> will be—a good rule of thumb is around three inches. Multiply your square footage in feet by the depth in inches and divide by 324. You may want to add a ½ to one additional cubic yard to ensure you have enough.</p></div>

Q: Can I use regular sand with pavers?

• <div><p>You can use regular sand as the base for your pavers and in between pavers to seal the joints. Many pros reach for polymeric sand, also known as all-purpose sand, because it has been sifted and washed to remove impurities. But you can easily level ground and fill gaps between pavers for a clean look using regular sand, sometimes at a lower cost. </p></div>

Q: How do you prepare an area for hardscaping?

• <div><p>Hardscaping often requires preparation of the ground in the area where the feature is being installed. This can include digging, compacting, and leveling the soil, ensuring adequate drainage, and removing any existing plants. The extent of preparation needed will depend on the type and size of the hardscaping feature being installed.</p></div>

"First of all I would like to point out that Koby was very generous and respectful, something a lot of young adults lack, and spoke very well.
