Q: How can I reduce my landscaping costs?

• <div><p>There are a few different landscaping projects that can help reduce landscaping costs overall. For one, you can plant everything from seed and watch your yard grow rather than purchasing plants. You can also repurpose old materials from other home projects and do the bulk of your landscaping by yourself instead of hiring a professional to cut down labor costs. </p></div>

Q: When should you not mulch?

• <div><p>Mulching any time of year can be beneficial, so you can choose based on your preference. Most homeowners avoid the winter and summer because of the uncomfortable temperatures, so spring and fall are often best. Try not to mulch right before heavy rainfall or a big storm is expected, as wind and runoff can move newly laid mulch around and make more work for you.</p></div>

Q: How much does 3 yards of river rock cost?

• <div><p>If you hire a professional landscaper, you could expect to pay between $90 and $660 to install three cubic yards of river rock. (That&rsquo;s based on the average river rock installation cost of $30 to $220 per cubic yard.) However, the exact price depends on the kind of river rock you choose. Crushed limestone and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-rip-rap.htm">riprap</a> are some of the more affordable options, while boulders and Arizona river rock are pricier.</p></div>

Q: Can I fill potholes in my driveway with mulch?

• <div><p>Mulch is best used in garden beds and yards, not in your driveway as pothole filler. It is meant to stimulate plant growth. Upon repeated pressure, it turns into compost, which also serves as fertilizer for weeds to take over. The roots will then break into your driveway, leading to more material loss and structural collapses. </p></div>
