What size landscape boulders should I choose for my yard?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-size-river-rock-is-best-for-landscaping.htm">best size rock for your landscaping</a> depends on the design, as different boulders serve different purposes. If you want to group boulders to create a natural-looking cluster, you’ll need a range of sizes. Otherwise, here are some suggestions:</p><ul><li><p>Small boulders (smaller than 12 inches across): Best for landscape edging and fire pits </p></li><li><p>Medium boulders (12–24 inches): Best for retaining walls and water features</p></li><li><p>Large boulders (more than 24 inches): Best as standalone landscaping features, steps, or walkways.</p></li></ul><p>Of course, you can mix and match sizes to create a unique display.</p></div>

Q: Are palm trees easy to grow?

• <div><p>Palm trees are relatively easy to grow, especially when planting different varieties in their native habitats. While regular watering is crucial in the first couple of months while the palm develops a strong root ball, palms typically require minimal maintenance once they&rsquo;re established. You&rsquo;ll need to prune palm fronds once or twice per year to keep it in tip-top shape. </p></div>

Q: What can I plant over my septic leach field?

• <div><p>Grass is the most popular and safest option for planting over a septic drain field, but you can also plant small flowering plants and other lightweight plants that don&rsquo;t have woody or deep roots. Avoid trees and bushes within 10 feet of the field, as the woody roots can crack the perforated pipes. You should also avoid planting vegetable or fruit gardens over your drain field, as a leak from the pipes could contaminate the soil and put anyone who eats the produce at risk.</p><p> </p></div>

Q: Do pergolas add value to a home?

• <div><p>Not only does adding a pergola to your landscaping add value to your home, but it also provides an excellent selling point to potential buyers who enjoy outdoor living.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to plant a tree in fall or spring?

• <div><p>While both fall and spring are suitable times of the year for planting trees, fall is typically the better option. Soil stays warm long enough to allow tree roots to establish in fall before they go dormant, while spring might give way to intense summer heat before spring-planted trees have time to grow strong roots.</p></div>
