Q: How long does it take to establish a moss lawn?

• <div><p>Moss attaches to the ground but doesn&rsquo;t have roots, so it can take four to six weeks for establishment to begin. It takes between 12 and 18 months for full coverage, and maximum thickness takes about two years. Keep your moss moist and debris-free to ensure it establishes itself well.</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: 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: Can you hydroseed with a garden hose?

• <div><p>Yes, you can hydroseed with a garden hose, but you&rsquo;ll need a tank or other large vessel for mixing the slurry, then a pump to send the slurry through the hose for spraying. Making your own hydroseeding unit can work, but it&rsquo;s not usually worth the effort and supplies unless you already have them.</p></div>

Q: What plants reduce humidity?

• <div><p>In addition to aloe vera and lilac, other effective humidity-reducing plants include peace lilies, Boston ferns, English ivy, spider plants, and lucky bamboo. These plants thrive in humid environments and can naturally lower moisture levels. Place them in areas prone to dampness for the best results.</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...
