Should you remove old mulch before putting down new mulch?

• <div><p>Mulch is made from natural materials, which will break down and add nutrients to your soil for better plant and soil health, so removing old mulch is unnecessary before putting down new mulch. However, if you live in a particularly moist area, it’s possible that the old mulch will harbor fungus or mold, which can hurt plant health. If you notice these issues, you might want to consider removing the old mulch first. Otherwise, save time and money by placing new mulch right over the old mulch.</p></div>

Q: Does rock landscaping attract snakes and other critters?

• <div><p>Rocks are less likely to attract snakes and other critters because their prey (termites, ticks, and other insects) don&rsquo;t usually inhabit this environment. However, if you have placed together rocks with large spaces in between or near a source of water, you may find a snake or an occasional chipmunk seeking shelter.</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 is 200 sq ft. of pea gravel?

• <div><p>The cost of 200 square feet of pea gravel depends on how deep your installation will be. The pea gravel material alone costs between $15 and $75 per cubic yard. You'll need just under two yards to cover 200 square feet to a depth of three inches, for a total cost of between <b>$30 and $150.</b> </p></div>

Q: How much does a 40-pound bag of topsoil cover?

• <div><p>A 40-pound bag of topsoil covers 0.76 cubic feet, enough for 4.5 square feet with a 2-inch depth or 36 square feet with a .25-inch depth, such as topdressing a standard garden bed. If you want 2 inches of fresh topsoil for your 36-square-foot garden bed, you&rsquo;ll need eight 40-pound bags. </p></div>
