Q: Do you need to clean up rocks before selling or donating them?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s often not necessary to clean up rocks before you sell or donate them, although it&rsquo;s a nice gesture. Cleaning the rocks you&rsquo;re getting rid of probably isn&rsquo;t worthwhile if you&rsquo;re selling a large volume of small rocks, but if you&rsquo;re selling or donating large boulders for landscape design, a quick clean might fetch more money or help out the donation center.</p></div>

Q: How deep should you dig to remove old grass?

• <div><p>To remove old grass effectively, you typically need to dig to <b>one to two inches</b>. This depth typically allows you to reach the root system of the grass, ensuring thorough removal. However, if the grass is a particularly dense or deep-rooted variety (such as <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-bermuda-grass.htm">Bermuda grass</a>), or if you're planning to replace it with a different landscaping feature, you may need to dig deeper to loosen the soil and remove any underlying roots.</p></div>

Q: Are there any safety precautions I should take when removing thorn bushes?

• <div><p>A thorn bush isn&rsquo;t likely to do serious damage, but it&rsquo;ll definitely hurt if you get a thorn or two in your hand or arm. When removing thorn bushes, always wear thick gloves, long sleeves, and safety goggles to protect against thorns and dirt. If dealing with larger bushes or unfamiliar terrain, consider enlisting a helper for assistance.</p></div>

Q: What maintenance is needed after lawn dethatching?

• <div><p>Post-dethatching, lawn recovery includes watering, fertilizing, and reseeding as necessary to restore health and promote growth.</p></div>

Q: Is it safe to blow leaves without wearing a mask?

• <div><p>We always recommend wearing a protective mask when blowing leaves (as well as goggles if possible). Blowing leaves creates a lot of dust, and in many cases that dust contains a bunch of allergens that can make those sensitive very miserable. Even worse, moldy leaves can contain fungi and bacteria that could make humans as animals very sick. Mask up before starting your leaf project, and if anyone is helping you collect the leaves it&rsquo;s a good idea if they wear a mask, too.</p></div>
