Q: Are stump grindings safe to use in the soil or as fillers?

• <div><p>Stump grindings are usually safe to use in soil, but in some cases, it&rsquo;s not recommended. Wood chips in particular can bind nitrogen in the soil, which will make it difficult for grass to grow. That&rsquo;s why it&rsquo;s important to remove most wood chips and use healthy garden soil if you want to cover the stump spot with grass. Large wood chips may attract beetles and could encourage the growth of fungi when they decay, so you may want to remove them when using the grindings. </p></div>

Q: Can you put gravel directly on dirt?

• <div><p>While you can put gravel directly on dirt, it won&rsquo;t be very stable. It also won&rsquo;t block out any weeds. Most experts recommend layering weed barrier and a layer of packed sand or other foundation material to prevent the gravel from sinking into the earth and being overtaken by weeds.</p></div>

Q: Does gravel come in different sizes?

• <div><p>Yes, gravel comes in different sizes, from fine powder to pea-, coin-, and even golf ball-size. Pea gravel is about 3/8 inch, while crushed stone gravel is about 3/8 to 4 inches. Most companies use a numerical system to assign a size, with the smallest being #10 and the biggest being #1. </p></div>

Q: What are uses for limestone?

• <div><p>Beyond landscaping, limestone has multiple uses. For example, there are multiple <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pros-and-cons-of-limestone-countertops.htm">pros and cons to limestone countertops</a>, such as a lower cost compared to other types of stone and heat resistance. Limestone is also a key ingredient in limewash, a type of paint with a chalky texture. Other uses for limestone include siding, retaining walls, and mixed into cement.</p></div>

Q: How do I measure how much compost to use?

• <div><p>Most experts recommend a quarter-inch layer of compost for best results, and you will need about .77 cubic yards of material per 1,000 square feet. To measure how much compost to use, take the square footage of your yard and multiply it by .77, then divide that number by 1,000.</p></div>
