Q: How do I slope water away from my house?

• <div><p>The soil around your foundation should slope down and away from your home, not toward it. If the grading drops the farther you are from your home, you can enhance the slope by removing more soil. Mark off a few feet from your house and dig up some of this soil. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-do-i-regrade-around-my-house-foundation.htm">Regrading around your fountain</a> should encourage water to flow away from your home and not collect or &ldquo;pond.&rdquo; </p></div>

Q: Do I need to provide plants from a nursery for a landscaper?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re hiring a landscaper to plant the garden of your dreams, you do not need to provide them with plants that you bought yourself from a nursery. While you certainly can provide your landscaper with plants, keep in mind that some nurseries provide discounts to landscaping companies, therefore potentially lowering your materials cost. Beyond the cost of the plants themselves, you need to have additional materials like topsoil and mulch for the project. Most likely, your landscaper can get a discount on these materials as well, so it&rsquo;s worth speaking with them before making any large purchases.</p></div>

Q: How long does it typically take to complete a lakefront landscaping project?

• <div><p>The duration of a lakefront landscaping project is determined by its scope, environmental conditions, and weather impacts. It often takes several weeks to a few months to complete.</p></div>

Q: Does landscaping increase my home value?

• <div><p>Yes, installing professional landscaping can increase the value of your home by 7% on average. Increasing your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/landscaping-edging-types.htm">home&rsquo;s curb appeal</a> can help it sell faster. Some landscaping projects may also help you get a higher sale price for your home. Certain kinds of landscaping, like planting trees or bushes, can help increase the privacy of your home and reduce noise from neighboring homes or traffic.</p></div>

Q: Can you use too little mulch?

• <div><p>Yes, it is possible to add too little mulch. Anything less than 1 inch will likely result in too little coverage around your plants, allowing weeds to grow through and minimizing the positive effects that a deeper bed of mulch would have, like maintaining proper soil moisture and insulating the ground.</p></div>
