Q: Are there environmental considerations in site preparation?

• <div><p>Key considerations include dust control, soil erosion prevention, and protecting local wildlife habitats through sustainable clearing practices.</p></div>

Q: What are some benefits of using gravel?

• <div><p>Gravel is a versatile option for home projects. It is low-maintenance and cost-effective compared to other materials. In addition, gravel provides excellent drainage, reducing the risk of flooding in your yard or driveway. Pairing gravel with a weed barrier fabric during installation can mitigate the risk of weed growth. </p></div>

Q: What wood is bad for mulch?

• <div><p>Wood from black walnut, magnolia, eucalyptus, red maple, and invasive species like tree of heaven are not recommended for mulching. These trees release allelochemicals that can suppress plant growth. Some homeowners, however, use wood from these trees for mulching if it is less potent due to age or concentration, or if the plants are not as sensitive to them.</p></div>

Q: How much will a 50 lb bag of pea gravel cover?

• <div><p>A 50-pound bag of pea gravel equals approximately one-half of a cubic foot. That amount will cover a three-square-foot area to a depth of about two inches. A three-square-foot area with equal-length sides is approximately 1.73 feet by 1.73 feet, or about 20.75 inches on each side. </p></div>

Q: What factors affect pickup costs?

• <div><p>Costs depend on waste volume, service frequency, and additional options like bulk pickups.</p></div>
