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’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 (12–24 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>

Are tree roots in my lawn a problem?

• <div><p>Surface-level tree roots might only pose a small threat, such as being a tripping hazard or obstacle when you mow your lawn. But if mature tree roots start growing in the direction of your home’s foundation or plumbing system, it could be a real problem. Cutting small tree roots out before they grow too large can keep your home safe without removing the whole tree.</p></div>

Q: How far apart should privet be planted?

• <div><p>Plant privet hedges at least 1 foot apart in a trench about 2 feet wide and 2 feet deep. It&rsquo;s important to space privet hedges relatively far apart due to how quickly they grow to significant sizes and heights. You don&rsquo;t want to crowd privet plants, or they could overcrowd each other, causing unwanted damage.</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: 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>
