Q: What are the colors of the foliage?

• <div><p>During the fall, you&rsquo;re likely to see foliage in stunning shades of orange, red, yellow, and brown. These colors emerge because of a seasonal decline in the pigment chlorophyll that makes leaves green.</p></div>

Q: What is a green home and what does it include?

• <div><p>A green home is one that focuses on conservation, with the goal often being net-zero carbon emissions and self-sustainability. It will often include some kind of self-generation equipment, like solar panels or a small wind turbine, high-efficiency electrical components and mechanicals, and high-quality insulation and air sealing to reduce the loss of conditioned air. Many green homes also include xeriscaping or rainwater collection to cut down on drainage and water consumption. </p></div>

Q: Is it better to plant small or large trees?

• <div><p>It depends. Smaller, younger trees take longer to mature, but they're more resilient, their roots don't get as damaged during transplanting, and they recover faster. Plus, they're much more affordable to plant, and it's possible to DIY the planting. </p><p>On the other hand, mature trees produce fruit faster and provide more shade and privacy immediately. Ideally, a small or medium tree is the better choice if you can wait a few years for it to mature. But if you need immediate maturity, a larger tree is the only option.</p></div>

Q: What size landscape boulders should I choose for my yard?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-size-river-rock-is-best-for-landscaping.htm">best size rock for your landscaping</a> depends on the design, as different boulders serve different purposes. If you want to group boulders to create a natural-looking cluster, you&rsquo;ll need a range of sizes. Otherwise, here are some suggestions:</p><ul><li><p>Small boulders (smaller than 12 inches across): Best for landscape edging and fire pits </p></li><li><p>Medium boulders (12&ndash;24 inches): Best for retaining walls and water features</p></li><li><p>Large boulders (more than 24 inches): Best as standalone landscaping features, steps, or walkways.</p></li></ul><p>Of course, you can mix and match sizes to create a unique display.</p></div>

Q: What should you do with areas of grass that won't grow?

• <div><p>There are several reasons <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/why-dead-grass-your-lawn-inevitable.htm">your grass may be dying</a> that could be in or out of your control. The most common issues include poor drainage, under/overwatering, poor soil pH, low soil nutrients, low sunlight, or too much foot traffic.</p><p> </p></div>
