Q: Can you leave roots in the ground?

• <div><p>While you can leave roots in the ground, if you don&rsquo;t want the shrub to regrow again over time, it&rsquo;s best not to leave any roots behind. Ensure you remove as much of the shrub as possible, including the root ball and any main roots you can see, to prevent new growth. Some gardeners opt for using a chemical treatment to prevent the stump from growing back, but this can kill beneficial microorganisms living in your soil. </p></div>

Q: How far should metal edging be from the ground?

• <div><p>A half inch above ground level is ideal for metal edging. This provides enough depth for the edging to hold in place and enough height to keep in most landscaping materials (like mulch or gravel). If you install edging too high off the ground, it will stand out from your landscaping and pose a tripping risk. If you install it too low, your ground cover won&rsquo;t stay in place.</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>

Q: Can you hydroseed with a garden hose?

• <div><p>Yes, you can hydroseed with a garden hose, but you&rsquo;ll need a tank or other large vessel for mixing the slurry, then a pump to send the slurry through the hose for spraying. Making your own hydroseeding unit can work, but it&rsquo;s not usually worth the effort and supplies unless you already have them.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to have a tree planted?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-do-trees-cost.htm">cost to plant a small tree</a> or sapling is between <b>$100 and $300</b> on average, if you hire a professional. Big trees will cost more and usually require the work of a specialist, so expect to pay over <b>$1,000</b> for those.</p></div>
