What is the least expensive way to keep grass from growing?

• <div><p>The least costly way to keep grass from growing is also the most labor-intensive: regular weeding. Pull out grass blades as you see them pop up through the soil in areas where they’re unwanted. Another cost-effective way to keep grass from growing is by spreading a thick layer of mulch on the area as this will suffocate the grass.</p></div>

Q: How many bags of mulch is one yard?

• <div><p>Each bag of mulch includes 2 cubic feet of mulch. And since a cubic yard is about 27 cubic feet of materials, you'll need 14 bags of mulch to have enough to cover a cubic yard. The right amount of mulch for your yard, however, depends on the depth of the mulch, the type of mulch you choose, and your desired look. </p></div>

Q: Should I put topsoil over grass seed?

• <div><p>You shouldn&rsquo;t put topsoil over new grass seed. Even though it may seem like this would increase soil contact and help the seeds grow, adding more soil overtop of planted grass seed will only make it harder for water and oxygen to reach the grass seeds. If you want to protect the grass seeds, consider adding a thin layer of organic matter, such as straw or hay.</p></div>

Q: Which additional gravel-related tasks can I undertake simultaneously to optimize cost savings and efficiency?

• <div><p>To take advantage of any deals on ordering gravel in bulk, it can also be beneficial in the long run to work on other gravel projects you plan to complete someday. These may include filling in a gravel driveway, building a patio, constructing a fire pit area , planning a garden walkway, or using stone instead of mulch in your flower beds.</p></div>

Q: Does rock landscaping attract snakes and other critters?

• <div><p>Rocks are less likely to attract snakes and other critters because their prey (termites, ticks, and other insects) don&rsquo;t usually inhabit this environment. However, if you have placed together rocks with large spaces in between or near a source of water, you may find a snake or an occasional chipmunk seeking shelter.</p></div>
