Q: How do I landscape my front yard on a budget?

• <div><p>The best way to landscape your front yard on a budget is to invest in hiring a professional for hardscaping&mdash;things like upgrading walkways, redoing driveways, and installing partitions around garden beds. You can often do the softscaping yourself&mdash;think laying down mulch, caring for your lawn, removing weeds, and planting flowers and shrubs. It&rsquo;s also almost always worthwhile to pay a professional for routine yard maintenance, as this dramatically improves curb appeal and delivers above 100% ROI in most cases.</p></div>

Q: Can you put topsoil over sand to grow grass?

• <div><p>Yes, you can put topsoil over sand to encourage grass growth. The topsoil will help to improve water retention and promote grass roots&rsquo; development, making it a recommended step of the seeding process. Adding a layer of topsoil will provide additional nutrients to the sandy soil, helping the grass grow and remain healthy through many seasons.</p></div>

Q: Do rock gardens need water?

• <div><p>Yes, rock gardens do need water. That said, they typically require less regular watering and, instead, more occasional, deep watering since the rocks trap moisture for longer than mulch. Make sure you don&rsquo;t water your rock garden too much during the winter. </p></div>

Q: What should I put down before landscaping rock?

• <div><p>Before you begin landscaping with rocks, put down a weed barrier or landscape fabric to prevent pesky weeds from poking through. </p></div>

"Chris did a phenomenal job. He was friendly and knowledable on how to properly build a retaining wall. The original home owners just threw it up on a wing and a prayer. Chris removed excess dirt, added stone in behind it, geogrid, pinned the brick and drain pipes and mulched and seeded it. I would recommend him 100% of the time to anyone who needs a reliable contractor."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

The best way to landscape your front yard on a budget is to invest in hiring a professional for hardscaping—things like upgrading walkways, redoing driveways, and installing partitions around garden beds. You can often do the softscaping yourself—think laying down mulch, caring for your lawn, removing weeds, and planting flowers and shrubs. It’s also almost always worthwhile to pay a professional for routine yard maintenance, as this dramatically improves curb appeal and delivers above 100% ROI in most cases.

Yes, you can put topsoil over sand to encourage grass growth. The topsoil will help to improve water retention and promote grass roots’ development, making it a recommended step of the seeding process. Adding a layer of topsoil will provide additional nutrients to the sandy soil, helping the grass grow and remain healthy through many seasons.

Yes, rock gardens do need water. That said, they typically require less regular watering and, instead, more occasional, deep watering since the rocks trap moisture for longer than mulch. Make sure you don’t water your rock garden too much during the winter.

Before you begin landscaping with rocks, put down a weed barrier or landscape fabric to prevent pesky weeds from poking through.

The best size rock for your landscaping depends on the design, as different boulders serve different purposes. If you want to group boulders to create a natural-looking cluster, you’ll need a range of sizes. Otherwise, here are some suggestions:

Small boulders (smaller than 12 inches across): Best for landscape edging and fire pits
Medium boulders (12–24 inches): Best for retaining walls and water features
Large boulders (more than 24 inches): Best as standalone landscaping features, steps, or walkways.

Of course, you can mix and match sizes to create a unique display.
