When is the best time to plant?

• <div><p>The best time to plant is between spring and autumn. Springtime weather is typically mild and is when nurseries start to bloom. When the summer weather arrives and it’s hot out, it’s best to avoid planting bare-root plants, but you can still plant many in-container varieties. The first sign of fall is another great opportunity to plant biennials if you live in southern states, or a lovely vegetable garden up north.</p></div>

How much do different kinds of landscaping services cost?

• <div><p>Since the nature of the landscaping project can heavily influence the overall cost, it helps to understand what different types of landscaping projects cost on average. For example:</p><ul><li><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-do-trees-cost.htm">Plant a tree</a>: $100–$2,000</p></li><li><p>Build a retaining wall: $3,250–$9,200</p></li><li><p>Reseed a lawn: $450–$1,700</p></li><li><p>Install a water fountain: $950–$4,800</p></li><li><p>Install a paver patio: $2,400–$7,000</p></li><li><p>Install a concrete walkway: $1,200–$2,400</p></li><li><p>Install a flower bed: $800–$3,000</p></li><li><p>Landscape lighting: $2,000–$6,000</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Do weeds grow in decomposed granite?

• <div><p>Yes, weeds can still grow in decomposed granite. If properly compacted, it can act as a good weed suppressant, meaning you&rsquo;ll only pull weeds occasionally. But no ground cover is completely weed-proof. To further prevent weeds, you can try spraying your decomposed granite with distilled white vinegar. </p></div>

Q: Can you leave roots in the ground?

• <div><p>While you can leave roots in the ground, if you don&rsquo;t want the shrub to regrow again over time, it&rsquo;s best not to leave any roots behind. Ensure you remove as much of the shrub as possible, including the root ball and any main roots you can see, to prevent new growth. Some gardeners opt for using a chemical treatment to prevent the stump from growing back, but this can kill beneficial microorganisms living in your soil. </p></div>

Q: Which landscape edging is best?

• <div><p>The best landscape edging tool depends on you and your needs. For homeowners who are looking for a budget-friendly edging material, plastic might be the best option for them. However, homeowners who want a low-maintenance option might opt for concrete or brick. Since there are loads of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/top-ten-garden-edging-ideas.htm">gardening edging ideas</a>, decide what factors (maintenance, style, or budget) are most important to you to help you narrow your choices.</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...
