Can you put soil on top of grass to level?

• <div><p>Yes, you can put soil on top of existing grass to level small areas. This is helpful for filling in small divots or leveling out minor dips in your yard that collect rainwater. However, this isn’t a good option if you need to regrade your entire lawn. It’s better to have a professional excavate some of the dirt first so that the level of the lawn doesn’t rise too high.</p></div>

Q: Is diatomaceous earth natural?

• <div><p>Food-grade diatomaceous earth is a natural product that comes from diatoms&mdash;fossilized aquatic organisms from tens of millions of years ago. Food-grade diatomaceous earth is considered &quot;natural,&quot; while pool or filter-grade diatomaceous earth has been treated and transformed to have higher crystalline silica content.</p></div>

Q: How much will a ton of gravel cover?

• <div><p>This will depend on the depth of the structure. For a landscape, patio, or walkway that&rsquo;s around 2 inches deep, a ton of gravel will cover around 100 square feet or about 0.6 cubic yards. However, if you&rsquo;re building a driveway, which should be a minimum of 12 inches deep, you&rsquo;d need about 6 tons of gravel to cover the same area.</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>

Q: How tall should mulch be around trees?

• <div><p>How tall your mulch should be around your tree depends on the type of mulch you use, but aim for 3 to 4 inches as a rule of thumb. You&rsquo;ll want to avoid simply piling it up in hopes of offering additional benefits to your tree. Volcano mulching is the infamous term for piling way too much mulch against the stem of your tree. This could actually kill your tree or severely harm it, as your tree trunk needs space to breathe without too much moisture. </p></div>
