Q: Are elm trees good for planting?

• <div><p>If shade is a priority for you, then panting elm trees is a fine choice. A full mature elm tree has enough aesthetic appeal for some folks that it could add value to your home. </p><p>That said, never plant elm trees too close to your home, sewer line, or sidewalks, as their roots can damage these, which can lead to costly repairs.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to plant a tree in fall or spring?

• <div><p>While both fall and spring are suitable times of the year for planting trees, fall is typically the better option. Soil stays warm long enough to allow tree roots to establish in fall before they go dormant, while spring might give way to intense summer heat before spring-planted trees have time to grow strong roots.</p></div>

Q: What if I can’t plant my branch right away?

• <div><p>Don&rsquo;t worry if there&rsquo;s a gap between cutting and planting an ideal branch. You can still cut the perfect branch when you see it. If you can&rsquo;t get it in a pot or water right away, put it in a zip-top bag in the refrigerator. When you&rsquo;re ready to finish the process, make a fresh cut.</p></div>

Q: How do I landscape my front yard on a budget?

• <div><p>The best way to landscape your front yard on a budget is to invest in hiring a professional for hardscaping&mdash;things like upgrading walkways, redoing driveways, and installing partitions around garden beds. You can often do the softscaping yourself&mdash;think laying down mulch, caring for your lawn, removing weeds, and planting flowers and shrubs. It&rsquo;s also almost always worthwhile to pay a professional for routine yard maintenance, as this dramatically improves curb appeal and delivers above 100% ROI in most cases.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to have a tree planted?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-do-trees-cost.htm">cost to plant a small tree</a> or sapling is between <b>$100 and $300</b> on average, if you hire a professional. Big trees will cost more and usually require the work of a specialist, so expect to pay over <b>$1,000</b> for those.</p></div>
