Q: What is the best gravel for steep driveways?

• <div><p>If you have a steep driveway, angular gravel, which is 3/4 to 2 inches in length, is a great choice. The stones won&rsquo;t slide, allow for proper drainage, and stay in place even on the steepest slope.</p></div>

Q: Should I use mulch on a topped tree?

• <div><p>A light layer of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/best-tree-mulch.htm">mulch can help protect a tree</a>, retain moisture, and keep the soil healthy. However, it&rsquo;s important to avoid over-mulching or piling the mulch up around the trunk of a tree, a practice notoriously called &ldquo;volcano mulching.&rdquo; That piled mulch can increase the chances of rot and disease on the tree trunk as well as overwhelming the soil, which needs access to a certain amount of air. Topped trees have it hard enough: mulch sparingly while they heal.</p></div>

Q: Should I use rocks or mulch in my foundation planting beds?

• <div><p>If you like the look of mulch in your plant beds, be aware that it can attract a variety of pests, including termites. To avoid wood-to-foundation contact, leave a one-foot barrier around your house and fill it in with rocks or gravel, starting mulch past that barrier and working it outward into your plant beds. </p></div>

Q: Is it better to mulch over rocks or remove rocks?

• <div><p>In most cases, it&rsquo;s better to remove rocks before adding mulch. Layering the two will restrict drainage and plant health, and can create an unpleasant texture underfoot. </p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to prepare land for a mobile home?

If you have a steep driveway, angular gravel, which is 3/4 to 2 inches in length, is a great choice. The stones won’t slide, allow for proper drainage, and stay in place even on the steepest slope.

A light layer of mulch can help protect a tree, retain moisture, and keep the soil healthy. However, it’s important to avoid over-mulching or piling the mulch up around the trunk of a tree, a practice notoriously called “volcano mulching.” That piled mulch can increase the chances of rot and disease on the tree trunk as well as overwhelming the soil, which needs access to a certain amount of air. Topped trees have it hard enough: mulch sparingly while they heal.

If you like the look of mulch in your plant beds, be aware that it can attract a variety of pests, including termites. To avoid wood-to-foundation contact, leave a one-foot barrier around your house and fill it in with rocks or gravel, starting mulch past that barrier and working it outward into your plant beds.

In most cases, it’s better to remove rocks before adding mulch. Layering the two will restrict drainage and plant health, and can create an unpleasant texture underfoot.
