I’m in Pennsylvania. The winter weather blows away my mulch every year. I’ve put down 18 tons of mulch in 3 years. I’m having rock put in next month

@gogokoko8511 4 месяца назад

Useful to know that rubber mulch is more expensive than rock. Useful information. Thank you!

@BMattWill Год назад

While rock may be a higher cost in some places, the upfront cost is a savings considering you need to mulch annually. Mulch also brings ants, termites, meadow voles and other undesirables. 2 inches of rock, never touch it again.

@davidtaylor9249 Год назад

Until it fill with leaf litter and other debris and fills the cracks and crevices. Then the weeds move in.

@nickzelner Год назад

What about rubber mulch

@LastBastian Год назад

@@davidtaylor9249 Buy a leaf blower.

@@davidtaylor9249nope, as long as you maintain you won't have issues. I've had rock for 15 years and only ever had a few weeds here and there 30 mins a week does the trick

@johnlee7085 2 месяца назад

Mulch does not necessarily need to be applied annually and can often be obtained for free so it is still cheaper. Doesn’t necessarily bring the undesirables either.

One of the best explanations I've heard...😊 Bravo

This is awesome. I really appreciate the detail. Thank you!

Found this to be very informative. Thank you.

My family and I just got our first home and I am a novice to all of this. I bought a lot of mulch & rocks and did a mix of both. I wish I seen this video before because I would have got the rubber mulch. I want something that is low maintenance and the rubber mulch sounds perfect. Thank you for the tips!!

@kokobean240 Год назад

Very informative! I'm in Florida too.

@hycinth5371 Год назад

I have put the decorative stones around my house and decided to remove them because it was difficult to weed. It was super hard to weed on the rocks unless you want to use chemicals. Now I have both along with some plants. I put sections of rocks around the back of the house and by the side windows. I used a good quality weed fabric under the rocks. I laid a very thick rocks on top. I haven’t see any weeds on the rocks bed in the last 10 years. My rock is about 4-5 inches thick.

Wow..very nice landscaping

@davidlobo962 Год назад

Great video dude

@vica1st Год назад

Very good presentation

@patburton837 Год назад

Thanks for the video. I had mulch and was thinking on getting rocks instead. The soil and mulch are up to my foundation, and now I have termites. I should have gone with a landscaper than a contractor. That was one of my big blunders for sure.

@johnlee7085 2 месяца назад

Anything up to your foundation can harbor termites. It wasn’t a problem with the material as much as the placement.

@robertfletcher440 Год назад

another option is pine needles, the acidic will help with the weeds

@jasony724 6 дней назад

What about the pros and cons against the elements? I have a roof that drains a lot of water. I assume rocks would be my best option?

@user-kp7ez6bb7o 4 дня назад

Do you recommend irrigation/drip lines to go above or below landscape fabric? I just had rock replace mulch and landscaper put all the irrigation lines under the fabric.

@FrawwfMedina Год назад

gotta use a torch on the rocks to kill the weed

@Lakelandcowboy69 Год назад

Woof. Jake is Smokin HOT. Great video too.

@mickeemickee3713 Год назад

Thank you for doing this video. I do disagree with the mulch over soil. Here in Michigan, if you clean up and remove the weeds, then add mulch, the weeds seeds are in the ground. when you try to pull the weeds, the mulch get lost in the soil. And I am a believer in using fabric mulch under the rocks or mulch. Thanks again.

@shoogabear Год назад

MI too. Everywhere I have rock with weed barrier, there are no weeds. Everywhere there's mulch with no barrier, weeds are a-plenty come spring. Not sure what he's talking about.

@johnlee7085 2 месяца назад

Without a fabric/barrier, the mulch would have to be tremendously thick to stop the weeds. An environmental alternative to the fabric, especially under mulch, is thick layers of cardboard. Whatever weeds are in the ground exhaust their stored energy by the time the cardboard breaks down, and you’re just left with better soil.

@Txjumpman Год назад

For people that have done rock what’s the pros and cons of small rocks vs big rocks? Big like 2”-3”.

@johnlee7085 2 месяца назад

Small rocks are easier to move around. This is a pro when you want to move them and a con when you want them to stay put.

@sherrysusan Год назад

what would work best to keep my chickens from making their sun bath up against my house? Also the west side is slanted like a hill, and I need something there too

@johnlee7085 2 месяца назад

Pavers? We’re trying that at the side of the shed next to the new coop I’m building. Also adding a 12” tall piece of Trex trim at the base where they will inevitably scratch debris against it.

@daves3819 Год назад

I've done both mulch and rock I won't do rock again. After a number of years it eventually fills in with dirt (every time the wind blows) and then there is no way to fix it other than add more rock.

@LastBastian Год назад

You can't blow it out with a leaf blower, or turn it with a rake? The rock at my house is at least a decade old, and I haven't seen this issue.
