How do I keep dirt around my foundation?

• <div><p>The best way to keep dirt around your foundation is to ensure your drainage is working properly and redirecting water well away from the foundation. Soil erosion is one of the most common <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/causes-and-costs-flooded-basement.htm">causes of basement flooding</a>, so it’s important to make sure you’re retaining the soil you replaced after learning how to regrade around the foundation. In addition, your foundation planting can also help prevent erosion. For example, plant roots to help keep soil in place.</p></div>

How much area does 10 bags of mulch cover?

• <div><p>That depends on the number of cubic feet in each bag. Ten 2-cubic-foot bags of mulch will cover 20 cubic feet, while 10 3-cubic-foot bags of mulch will cover 30 cubic feet. Learning <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-make-your-own-mulch.htm">how to DIY mulch</a> can save you money and help you repurpose natural items such as wood chips, pine needles, and leaves.</p></div>

Q: Does organic mulch attract bugs?

• <div><p>While organic mulch offers many benefits, it can also attract bugs looking for shelter, food, and water. Insects, rodents, snails, and slugs are often attracted to its decomposing material.</p></div>

Q: Does gravel come in different sizes?

• <div><p>Yes, gravel comes in different sizes, from fine powder to pea-, coin-, and even golf ball-size. Pea gravel is about 3/8 inch, while crushed stone gravel is about 3/8 to 4 inches. Most companies use a numerical system to assign a size, with the smallest being #10 and the biggest being #1. </p></div>

Q: When should you not mulch?

• <div><p>Mulching any time of year can be beneficial, so you can choose based on your preference. Most homeowners avoid the winter and summer because of the uncomfortable temperatures, so spring and fall are often best. Try not to mulch right before heavy rainfall or a big storm is expected, as wind and runoff can move newly laid mulch around and make more work for you.</p></div>
