Can I leave leaves on the ground all winter long?

• <div><p>A scattering of leaves won’t pose a problem through the winter, but a thicker layer of leaves may not decompose before the first frost and can instead weigh down your grass and harbor mold or fungi. A thick layer of leaves also cuts off light and air that grass needs to grow. That’s why we suggest removing thick leaf layers within several days if possible. If your lawn goes dormant over the winter and snow has already caught up with you, then remove the leaves in early spring before your grass-growing season starts so your lawn can thrive.</p></div>

When should you plant a peach tree?

• <div><p>Plant a peach tree right at the end of your local dormancy period, likely at the very end of winter after the last frost when you can dig into the soft soil. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/when-s-best-time-plant.htm">Plan your backyard gardening season</a>, including when planting peach trees, based on the frost schedule predicted in your local hardiness zone.</p></div>

Q: What are the best types of rocks for landscaping?

• <div><p>Different landscaping projects call for different <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/best-landscaping-rocks.htm">types of landscaping rocks</a>. Pea gravel and crushed gravel are often used to cover large areas, while flagstone and cobblestone can be found in patios and walkways. If you&rsquo;re looking to build a stone wall, fieldstone or small boulders are up to the task, and larger boulders work well to indicate boundaries or fill up empty space.</p></div>
