Q: Can you use too little mulch?

• <div><p>Yes, it is possible to add too little mulch. Anything less than 1 inch will likely result in too little coverage around your plants, allowing weeds to grow through and minimizing the positive effects that a deeper bed of mulch would have, like maintaining proper soil moisture and insulating the ground.</p></div>

Q: What other projects should I do at the same time as installing a trellis?

• <div><p>Other projects that you can do at the same time as your trellis include painting the deck , installing a pergola, or adding mulch to your garden beds.</p></div>

Q: Is buying plants from a nursery worth it?

• <div><p>In most cases, buying plants from a local greenhouse or nursery is well worth the investment, even though they tend to be a bit more expensive than those at a home improvement store. Employees at nurseries are usually well-versed in gardening and understand how the climate in your area affects different plants. They can help you make selections based on your skill level and time commitment to your landscaping, and they can provide detailed care instructions and advice to help keep your plants alive and diagnose and treat issues like <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/common-houseplant-pests-treatment.htm">pest infestation</a> and illness.</p></div>

Q: What time of year is best to mulch?

• <div><p>Mid to late spring is the best time of year to mulch. If you do it too early in the spring, the mulch could slow down the warming process of the soil and affect how well plants grow. By mid to late spring the temperatures are usually steadying, making it an ideal time to spread mulch.</p></div>

Q: Can I DIY hardscaping in my yard?

• <div><p>It is possible to DIY complete hardscaping projects, but in most cases, hiring a professional is best to get the job done correctly. Hardscaping&mdash;including <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-install-patio.htm">installing patios</a>, decks, retaining walls, walkways, and water features&mdash;is challenging and time-consuming, so the money you spend on a professional is typically worth it. Not only will the quality be better, but you could avoid problems that come along with a lack of hardscaping experience, like drainage issues that can lead to costly foundation damage and leaks in your home.</p></div>
