Can I DIY hardscaping in my yard?

• <div><p>It is possible to DIY complete hardscaping projects, but in most cases, hiring a professional is best to get the job done correctly. Hardscaping—including <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-install-patio.htm">installing patios</a>, decks, retaining walls, walkways, and water features—is challenging and time-consuming, so the money you spend on a professional is typically worth it. Not only will the quality be better, but you could avoid problems that come along with a lack of hardscaping experience, like drainage issues that can lead to costly foundation damage and leaks in your home.</p></div>

Q: Will foundation planting affect the drainage around my home?

• <div><p>As with anything you do near your foundation, you&rsquo;ll want to ensure proper drainage when you plant your foundation beds. Your drainage should run downhill from the highest point against your foundation to avoid water intrusion and incurring expensive <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-foundation-repair-cost.htm">foundation repair costs</a>.</p></div>

Q: What can I plant over my septic leach field?

• <div><p>Grass is the most popular and safest option for planting over a septic drain field, but you can also plant small flowering plants and other lightweight plants that don&rsquo;t have woody or deep roots. Avoid trees and bushes within 10 feet of the field, as the woody roots can crack the perforated pipes. You should also avoid planting vegetable or fruit gardens over your drain field, as a leak from the pipes could contaminate the soil and put anyone who eats the produce at risk.</p><p> </p></div>

Q: What are the best types of rocks for landscaping?

• <div><p>Different landscaping projects call for different <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/best-landscaping-rocks.htm">types of landscaping rocks</a>. Pea gravel and crushed gravel are often used to cover large areas, while flagstone and cobblestone can be found in patios and walkways. If you&rsquo;re looking to build a stone wall, fieldstone or small boulders are up to the task, and larger boulders work well to indicate boundaries or fill up empty space.</p></div>

Q: What environmental factors should be considered in lakefront landscaping?

• <div><p>Environmental considerations include native plant selection, wildlife habitation, erosion prevention measures, and managing water runoff patterns to protect the lakefront ecosystem.</p></div>
