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: Can I leave leaves on the ground all winter long?

Q: What is a good landscaping budget?

• <div><p>The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-landscaping-cost.htm">cost of landscaping</a> is around <b>$3,500</b>, so you can start there if you&rsquo;re looking to revamp your outdoor space. If you just want softscaping like mulch, flowers, and shrubs, you could get the jobs done yourself and spend just a few hundred dollars on materials. On the other hand, you might want to budget <b>$14,000</b> or more if you&rsquo;re looking for hardscaping, like pergolas, patios, walkways, and more, in addition to plants and mulch.</p></div>

Q: Will foundation planting affect the drainage around my home?

• <div><p>As with anything you do near your foundation, you&rsquo;ll want to ensure proper drainage when you plant your foundation beds. Your drainage should run downhill from the highest point against your foundation to avoid water intrusion and incurring expensive <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-foundation-repair-cost.htm">foundation repair costs</a>.</p></div>

Q: How far away from my house should I plant a tree?

• <div><p>You should plant trees at least 15 to 20 feet away from your house, and more if the tree will grow large and spread its limbs. Trees pose several dangers to houses when planted too close. They can litter the roof with leaves and branches, create fire hazards, make a ladder for larger pests, and even damage the foundation as their roots grow.</p></div>

Q: What is the best month to plant trees?

• <div><p>Late August, September, and mid-October are the ideal months for planting a young tree. However, the best time to plant a tree ultimately depends on when the weather transitions to fall-like conditions and eventually winter frost. As long as the hottest days of summer have passed and the ground hasn&rsquo;t frozen yet, you can still successfully plant trees.</p></div>

I spent about $3000 to $4000. They did all the way around the house landscaping. They removed a large tree and laid down new sod in a couple of places. They left the area perfect after they were done. The staff was great.
