Is it better to plant small or large trees?

• <div><p>It depends. Smaller, younger trees take longer to mature, but they're more resilient, their roots don't get as damaged during transplanting, and they recover faster. Plus, they're much more affordable to plant, and it's possible to DIY the planting. </p><p>On the other hand, mature trees produce fruit faster and provide more shade and privacy immediately. Ideally, a small or medium tree is the better choice if you can wait a few years for it to mature. But if you need immediate maturity, a larger tree is the only option.</p></div>

Q: How much does landscaping cost?

• <div><p>Typically, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-landscaping-cost.htm">landscaping costs</a> about <b>$3,500</b> on average. Several factors cause the price range to vary from as low as<b> $200</b> to as much as <b>$14,000</b>. For example, major cost factors include your geographic location, yard size, project size, materials you choose, site preparation, and type of landscaping, among other factors. Keep in mind that labor costs will range from $50 to $100 per hour for a professional landscaper.</p></div>

Q: What should you do with areas of grass that won't grow?

• <div><p>There are several reasons <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/why-dead-grass-your-lawn-inevitable.htm">your grass may be dying</a> that could be in or out of your control. The most common issues include poor drainage, under/overwatering, poor soil pH, low soil nutrients, low sunlight, or too much foot traffic.</p><p> </p></div>

Q: Is it OK to cover your plants with a tarp?

• <div><p>It is for the purpose of protecting them from hail because you&rsquo;ll be removing it soon after the threat is over. However, plastic or vinyl tarps aren&rsquo;t recommended as a long-term way of protecting your plants from frost because they&rsquo;ll trap too much moisture inside, which is actually not a good thing for your plants. But in the short term, it&rsquo;s fine to use even an overturned garbage can to protect a plant from hail.</p></div>

Q: What time of year is best to mulch?

• <div><p>Mid to late spring is the best time of year to mulch. If you do it too early in the spring, the mulch could slow down the warming process of the soil and affect how well plants grow. By mid to late spring the temperatures are usually steadying, making it an ideal time to spread mulch.</p></div>
