Q: What are the main flower types?

• <div><p>While there are over 400,000 different flowering plants worldwide, there are five main types of flowers. These flower types are based on their lifecycles, giving each type a unique personality. These types are:</p><ul><li><p><b>Annuals</b>, which complete their entire life cycle within a single growing season. </p></li><li><p><b>Perennials</b>, which the tops die off in the winter but regrow in spring. </p></li><li><p><b>Biennials</b>, which complete their entire life cycle within two years.</p></li><li><p><b>Hybrids</b>, which exhibit either annual or perennial behaviors depending on location</p></li><li><p><b>Flowering shrubs</b>, which are small to medium-sized perennial woody plants, such as shrubs or evergreens.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Can I leave leaves on the ground all winter long?

• <div><p>A scattering of leaves won&rsquo;t pose a problem through the winter, but a thicker layer of leaves may not decompose before the first frost and can instead weigh down your grass and harbor mold or fungi. A thick layer of leaves also cuts off light and air that grass needs to grow. That&rsquo;s why we suggest removing thick leaf layers within several days if possible. If your lawn goes dormant over the winter and snow has already caught up with you, then remove the leaves in early spring before your grass-growing season starts so your lawn can thrive.</p></div>

Q: Does backyard landscaping add value?

• <div><p>Yes, backyard landscaping and total-home landscaping add value to your home. According to the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA), high-quality landscape design has a 20 to 30 percent return on investment. So, when it comes time to sell your home, having a beautiful backyard landscaping oasis will increase your home&rsquo;s value. </p></div>

Q: How much does a backyard remodel cost?

• <div><p>A full backyard renovation can cost between <b>$15,000 and $50,000</b>, depending on the scope of the project. Excavation, materials, and labor costs all contribute to the final cost of updating your outdoor spaces, and expensive features like a pool, a fence, or hardscaping carry a high price tag.</p></div>

Q: What happens if you use the wrong plants for your gardening zone?

• <div><p>If you use the wrong plants for your gardening zone, you&rsquo;ll likely get less than desirable yields from them. In some cases, your plants can even die. It&rsquo;s important to ensure that your plants are able to survive in your hardiness zone before getting them into the ground.</p></div>
