Is it better to plant small or large trees?

• <div><p>It depends. Smaller, younger trees take longer to mature, but they're more resilient, their roots don't get as damaged during transplanting, and they recover faster. Plus, they're much more affordable to plant, and it's possible to DIY the planting. </p><p>On the other hand, mature trees produce fruit faster and provide more shade and privacy immediately. Ideally, a small or medium tree is the better choice if you can wait a few years for it to mature. But if you need immediate maturity, a larger tree is the only option.</p></div>

Q: Do I need to hire a landscaper?

• <div><p>Buying plants from a nursery is one thing, but ensuring that they are properly planted is another. While you might not need to hire a landscaper for every plant that you buy from a nursery, it&rsquo;s a great idea to have their expertise and experience to plant larger items, like burlapped trees or specialty plants like rose bushes. Even better, before making a trip to a nursery to buy new plants, consult a local landscaper to test your soil for pH levels, soil texture, and phosphorus and potassium levels to help determine the best plants for your area.</p></div>

Q: What does landscape design include?

• <div><p>Landscape design can be a simple service that includes a drawing or visual representation of how your yard can be set up and optimized for your intended purposes. But it can also include all of the manual labor to make your vision a reality. When you speak with your landscape designer, ensure everyone understands the specific services you want. Some add-on services may include the following:</p><ul><li><p>Sourcing and delivery of raw materials</p></li><li><p>Professional installation of features, including pergolas, decks, and pathways</p></li><li><p>Drainage system design</p></li><li><p>Recommendations for specific plants and trees</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Does monkey grass need sun or shade?

• <div><p>Monkey grass isn&rsquo;t too picky when it comes to light conditions: It needs sun but prefers partial shade. While it can tolerate full sun, it thrives in environments with partial shade (around four to six hours of sunlight per day). The black mondo grass variety is the most tolerant of heat from direct sunlight.</p></div>

Q: How do I know if a tree is right for my area?

• <div><p>Consulting your local university extension, Audubon society, or municipal urban forestry program are all good ideas when choosing a tree to plant. You can also ask an arborist or a knowledgeable landscaping company for advice on good trees to plant.</p></div>
