Q: Is xeriscaping less expensive than traditional landscaping?

• <div><p>Xeriscaping can be more affordable than traditional landscaping, but it depends on your landscape design. However, you will save on water. If you live in an arid climate or a location prone to droughts, xeriscaping is an especially efficient way of reducing your lawn&rsquo;s water demand without detracting from the beauty of your yard.</p></div>

Q: Can you landscape in the rain?

• <div><p>Yes, you can landscape in the rain, but you should take some precautions to keep yourself and your tools safe. Avoid using electric landscaping tools during rainfall, and don&rsquo;t mow, thatch, aerate, or rake in the rain, as your tools can more easily tear out roots in the loose soil. Be careful when working on wet grass, and take your time to avoid slipping. Avoid putting in new plants before a particularly bad storm, as heavy rain and strong winds can damage or uproot plants that aren&rsquo;t yet established.</p></div>

Q: How deep do bamboo roots grow?

• <div><p>Most bamboo can send roots down two to three feet into the ground. However, when stopping bamboo from spreading, the focus is on the runner roots or rhizomes. These roots are much shallower, staying 12 inches or less from the surface, so they&rsquo;re easier to find and remove. But if you want to remove the bamboo entirely, you&rsquo;ll have to dig out the full root system.</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>
