Q: What does a xeriscaped lawn look like?

• <div><p>Xeriscaped lawns are far more varied than many gardeners initially assume. The often-pictured rocky and cacti-filled landscapes are just one option. Many wildflower-, herb-, and mulch-covered landscapes follow the same principles without straying too far from the lush and colorful landscapes we have come to know. In fact, there are numerous <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/beyond-xeriscaping-how-create-low-water-landscape-design-your-yard.htm">xeriscape ideas</a> for customizing an energy-efficient lawn to your liking.</p></div>

Q: Can you put topsoil over sand to grow grass?

• <div><p>Yes, you can put topsoil over sand to encourage grass growth. The topsoil will help to improve water retention and promote grass roots&rsquo; development, making it a recommended step of the seeding process. Adding a layer of topsoil will provide additional nutrients to the sandy soil, helping the grass grow and remain healthy through many seasons.</p></div>

Q: Does monkey grass need sun or shade?

• <div><p>Monkey grass isn&rsquo;t too picky when it comes to light conditions: It needs sun but prefers partial shade. While it can tolerate full sun, it thrives in environments with partial shade (around four to six hours of sunlight per day). The black mondo grass variety is the most tolerant of heat from direct sunlight.</p></div>

Q: Which additional initiatives should I undertake concurrently to enhance my home's appeal?

• <div><p>You'll likely need more than great home staging to sell your home. Now is a great time to get to work on the curb appeal of your home . Hire local exterior painters and landscapers to coat the exterior of your home and bring it new life with some sprucing up.</p></div>
