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>

Will mulching in the fall attract termites?

• <div><p>Mulching any time of year can attract termites, so there’s no added risk in the fall. The important thing to remember is that termites are attracted to rotting wood, so you need to lay a thin enough layer that won’t trap too much moisture and lead to rotting. A layer between 1 and 4 inches thick should provide all the benefits you’re looking for without attracting termites.</p></div>

Q: Which type of gravel is best for pets and livestock?

• <div><p>Small gravel is the better option since it creates a stable, even surface that&rsquo;s easier on paws and hooves. Large gravel can be uncomfortable and may shift too much underfoot. So if you&rsquo;re using gravel in pet or livestock areas, go for smooth, rounded small gravel to prevent injuries and discomfort.</p></div>

Q: What does sand do?

• <div><p>Sand is a common sublayer for hardscape features like driveways, paver patios, and more. Most projects that involve sand require a 1-inch layer to promote evenness, drainage, and weight distribution. For further drainage, most projects have a 6-inch minimum layer of gravel beneath the sand. </p><p> </p></div>
