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’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.</p></div>

Do you have to be careful when putting landscaping over a leach field or drain field?

• <div><p>You should exercise care when deciding <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/landscaping-around-your-septic-system.htm">how to landscape over a leach field</a> for your septic system. You typically want lightweight materials that won’t damage the drain field’s perforated pipes. When adding plants to the area, select plants with shallow roots, such as grass or flower gardens. Trees with deep roots could damage the pipes in the field.</p></div>

Q: What does pea gravel look like?

• <div><p>Pea gravel consists of many small, rounded stones that, unsurprisingly, kind of resemble peas. They range in size from 1/8 to 3/8 of an inch. Higher-end products might be a little more uniform and have fewer jagged rocks in the mix.</p></div>

Q: Do weeds grow in decomposed granite?

• <div><p>Yes, weeds can still grow in decomposed granite. If properly compacted, it can act as a good weed suppressant, meaning you&rsquo;ll only pull weeds occasionally. But no ground cover is completely weed-proof. To further prevent weeds, you can try spraying your decomposed granite with distilled white vinegar. </p></div>

Q: Can I conduct soil testing myself?

• <div><p>Basic kits exist, but professional soil engineers provide in-depth analysis and construction recommendations.</p></div>

They do a lot more than that but that is all we needed at the time. We were very pleased with the service they performed. It is actually pneumatic mulching, so they have a machine that blows it out, and it is easier for them. They may come back if we find that we need to have things planted on...
