Do you have to be careful when putting landscaping over a leach field or drain field?

• <div><p>You should exercise care when deciding <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/landscaping-around-your-septic-system.htm">how to landscape over a leach field</a> for your septic system. You typically want lightweight materials that won’t damage the drain field’s perforated pipes. When adding plants to the area, select plants with shallow roots, such as grass or flower gardens. Trees with deep roots could damage the pipes in the field.</p></div>

Q: What should you put underneath artificial grass?

• <div><p>Artificial turf usually requires some sort of base. If you&rsquo;re installing the grass over soil, you&rsquo;ll want to add a weed barrier (weeds can damage your fake grass) and an artificial grass sub-base . Typically, this is a mixture of gravel and sand, like crushed miscellaneous base (CMB) or decomposed granite. If you're placing turf over concrete, you can skip the sub base and use a padded underlayment.</p></div>

Q: Should I put topsoil over grass seed?

• <div><p>You shouldn&rsquo;t put topsoil over new grass seed. Even though it may seem like this would increase soil contact and help the seeds grow, adding more soil overtop of planted grass seed will only make it harder for water and oxygen to reach the grass seeds. If you want to protect the grass seeds, consider adding a thin layer of organic matter, such as straw or hay.</p></div>

Q: What should I consider when removing a boulder?

• <div><p>If you decide to DIY your boulder removal project, you&rsquo;ll want to wear work gloves and protect your eyes if you decide to break the boulder into smaller pieces. Wear a lifting harness and focus on lifting with your legs to prevent back injuries. If you&rsquo;re digging around a large boulder or using heavy machinery to get underneath it, make sure there are no utility lines nearby.</p></div>

Q: What should I put down before grass seed?

• <div><p>Before you put down grass seed, you should cultivate your soil or add two inches of topsoil. You should also put down fertilizer at the same time as your seed to prompt healthy growth. Be sure to water after you put down grass seed, especially for the first two weeks.</p></div>

I got home from an out-of-town trip, and this old tree (that had been leaning a bit) had apparently shifted due to wind and rainy conditions. Limbs were brushing my roof, and, had it shifted any further, would have fallen through half my house. I called Lone Start Tree & Roofing; they set an...

Found some bugs that I thought were termites. Requested a Termite Inspection via Angie's List. Marshall came out the next day and determined that they were ants and not termites. YAY! Never thought I'd be excited about having ants, but hey, at least it's NOT termites. Marshall educated me on the...

Saw the job they did at a neighbor's house that I helped get set up. They were very meticulous in the job that they did grinding a sweet gum stump and all the root runners. They ground some of the runners that I didn't think needed grounded, but Casey is a perfectionist. Had them give me an...
