Can I leave leaves on the ground all winter long?

• <div><p>A scattering of leaves won’t pose a problem through the winter, but a thicker layer of leaves may not decompose before the first frost and can instead weigh down your grass and harbor mold or fungi. A thick layer of leaves also cuts off light and air that grass needs to grow. That’s why we suggest removing thick leaf layers within several days if possible. If your lawn goes dormant over the winter and snow has already caught up with you, then remove the leaves in early spring before your grass-growing season starts so your lawn can thrive.</p></div>

Q: What are some ground cover plants I could grow between my pavers?

• <div><p>If you choose to leave gaps between your pavers, you can grow some ground cover plants between them for an organic feel. Look for plants such as creeping thyme, dymondia, jewel mint of Corsica, or clover.</p></div>

Q: When should you plant a tree?

• <div><p>The best time to plant a tree is in the <b>spring</b>, so the roots have time to grow into the surrounding soil before winter sets in. Some people recommend planting in the late fall. However, planting in the spring reduces the stress on the tree, as it will be emerging from dormancy, giving it the full spring and summer ahead to acclimate and put down roots into the soil.</p></div>

Q: How do you landscape a steep slope on a budget?

• <div><p>Many ways to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tips-landscaping-your-lawn-budget.htm">landscape a steep slope on a budget</a> exist. Avoiding expensive retaining wall construction is the first step. Consider creating a rocky slope with boulders or large stones, or think about planting perennials that return every year with a single investment. Transplanting small trees from elsewhere on your property is also possible and can help to stabilize steep slopes without purchasing new ones. </p></div>

Q: What is the best ground cover for a septic field?

• <div><p>The best <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/landscaping-around-your-septic-system.htm">landscaping for a septic drain field</a> is shallow-rooted grass or native vegetation that helps prevent soil erosion while allowing water to evaporate efficiently. Avoid planting trees, shrubs, or deep-rooted plants near the drain field because the roots can infiltrate pipes and cause blockages. Using mulch or gravel sparingly can also help retain moisture and protect the system without restricting airflow.</p></div>
