How can I plant more trees in my community and beyond?

• <div><p>If you want to take your tree-planting hobby beyond your outdoor space, here are a few great ways to do it:</p><ul><li><p>Encourage your neighbors to participate in the Arbor Day Foundation’s Tree City USA program, which has a four-step framework that helps communities grow and maintain their own tree cover.</p></li><li><p>Support businesses that plant trees. </p></li><li><p>Lobby your local government to plant more trees around your community.</p></li><li><p>Donate to a tree-planting charity.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Do you have to be careful when putting landscaping over a leach field or drain field?

• <div><p>You should exercise care when deciding <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/landscaping-around-your-septic-system.htm">how to landscape over a leach field</a> for your septic system. You typically want lightweight materials that won’t damage the drain field’s perforated pipes. When adding plants to the area, select plants with shallow roots, such as grass or flower gardens. Trees with deep roots could damage the pipes in the field.</p></div>

Q: How do I know if a tree is right for my area?

• <div><p>Consulting your local university extension, Audubon society, or municipal urban forestry program are all good ideas when choosing a tree to plant. You can also ask an arborist or a knowledgeable landscaping company for advice on good trees to plant.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to establish a moss lawn?

• <div><p>Moss attaches to the ground but doesn&rsquo;t have roots, so it can take four to six weeks for establishment to begin. It takes between 12 and 18 months for full coverage, and maximum thickness takes about two years. Keep your moss moist and debris-free to ensure it establishes itself well.</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>

We’re extremely pleased with the beautiful job Delanson Gardens did on my mother’s grounds. She had had past negative experiences with two other local so-called “landscaping” companies, who only wanted to mow and dump weedkiller so they could go on to multiple other jobs the same day, but...
