Can I leave leaves on the ground all winter long?

• <div><p>A scattering of leaves won’t pose a problem through the winter, but a thicker layer of leaves may not decompose before the first frost and can instead weigh down your grass and harbor mold or fungi. A thick layer of leaves also cuts off light and air that grass needs to grow. That’s why we suggest removing thick leaf layers within several days if possible. If your lawn goes dormant over the winter and snow has already caught up with you, then remove the leaves in early spring before your grass-growing season starts so your lawn can thrive.</p></div>

Q: How much does a backyard remodel cost?

• <div><p>A full backyard renovation can cost between <b>$15,000 and $50,000</b>, depending on the scope of the project. Excavation, materials, and labor costs all contribute to the final cost of updating your outdoor spaces, and expensive features like a pool, a fence, or hardscaping carry a high price tag.</p></div>

Q: How long should you wait before repotting a plant from a greenhouse or nursery?

• <div><p>In most cases, wait <b>three to five days</b> to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-repot-plant.htm">repot or relocate a plant</a> from a greenhouse or nursery. That way, your plant has time to recover from any shock during the move and adapt to the conditions in and around your home. Some hearty plants may not need as long, and delicate plants might need several weeks. You should ask the professional at your nursery for a recommended timeline. Consider asking about an initial watering schedule to help stimulate root growth and promote a healthy plant.</p></div>

Q: What does a xeriscaped lawn look like?

• <div><p>Xeriscaped lawns are far more varied than many gardeners initially assume. The often-pictured rocky and cacti-filled landscapes are just one option. Many wildflower-, herb-, and mulch-covered landscapes follow the same principles without straying too far from the lush and colorful landscapes we have come to know. In fact, there are numerous <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/beyond-xeriscaping-how-create-low-water-landscape-design-your-yard.htm">xeriscape ideas</a> for customizing an energy-efficient lawn to your liking.</p></div>

Q: What is the most profitable part of landscaping?

• <div><p>A well-maintained lawn has the most ROI when it comes to landscaping. Other enhancements, such as building a deck or patio and adding a front walkway, follow suit, but aiming to enhance the basics is where your home can truly shine and increase its profitability. Not only does it increase curb appeal, but it sets potential homebuyers up for landscaping success when they have a healthy, clean slate of grass to begin with.</p></div>
