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>

Q: What materials are best for different climates?

• <div><p>Durable materials suited for climate include aluminum for coastal areas or composite wood in varying environments for durability and minimal upkeep.</p></div>

Q: Can you mix small and large gravel?

• <div><p>Yes, and in many cases, you should. Large gravel works best as a base layer because it improves drainage and keeps the surface stable. A top layer of smaller gravel fills in gaps and creates a smoother, more compacted surface. This combination is common in driveways and high-traffic areas where both stability and comfort matter.</p></div>

Q: What does sand do?

• <div><p>Sand is a common sublayer for hardscape features like driveways, paver patios, and more. Most projects that involve sand require a 1-inch layer to promote evenness, drainage, and weight distribution. For further drainage, most projects have a 6-inch minimum layer of gravel beneath the sand. </p><p> </p></div>
