Does mulch attract termites?

• <div><p>No, mulch itself does not necessarily attract termites even though it’s usually made of shredded wood. Some types of mulch like cedar or cypress <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/proactive-tips-avoid-termite-damage-your-home.htm">resist termites</a> because they’re toxic or unappetizing to the wood munchers. However, when the mulch is deep enough, say three inches or more, it creates a perfect habitat for insects of all kinds to build nests.</p></div>

What kind of maintenance does a gravel driveway require?

• <div><p>Because gravel moves, it requires different maintenance than asphalt or concrete. Here are a few maintenance tips for your gravel driveway. Every few years (or as often as needed):</p><ul><li><p>Grade and level your driveway</p></li><li><p>Rake to fill holes and ruts</p></li><li><p>Compact any refilled potholes</p></li><li><p>Remove weeds with herbicide or by hand</p></li><li><p>Spray it with water to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-ways-reduce-dust-your-new-gravel-driveway.htm">reduce the amount of dust</a> kicked up</p></li><li><p>Avoid using a snowplow during winter months</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Should I put sand under my stepping stones?

• <div><p>Using sand under stepping stones can be beneficial in certain situations. Sand can help level the ground and provide stability for the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/five-stepping-stone-designs-try.htm">stepping stones</a>, especially if the ground is uneven. It also allows for minor adjustments during the installation process. However, sand may not be the best choice for all environments. In areas with high foot traffic or heavy rain, sand may wash away or become displaced, leading to an uneven surface. In such cases, a more stable base material like gravel or crushed stone is preferable. Consider your specific landscape conditions before deciding whether to use sand under stepping stones.</p></div>

Q: What materials are best for different climates?

• <div><p>Durable materials suited for climate include aluminum for coastal areas or composite wood in varying environments for durability and minimal upkeep.</p></div>

Q: Does rock landscaping attract snakes and other critters?

• <div><p>Rocks are less likely to attract snakes and other critters because their prey (termites, ticks, and other insects) don&rsquo;t usually inhabit this environment. However, if you have placed together rocks with large spaces in between or near a source of water, you may find a snake or an occasional chipmunk seeking shelter.</p></div>
