Yard & Outdoor Living FAQs

1. What tools do professional landscape designers use?
   • Landscape designers use a mix of traditional and digital tools to create functional, beautiful outdoor spaces. Essential tools include measuring devices (i.e., tape measures or laser measurers), sketching supplies, and leveling tools (i.e., levels and string lines). For design, they often rely on computer-aided design software as well as irrigation planning tools. Soil testing kits and moisture meters help assess site conditions, while tools such as shovels, edgers, and pruners aid in installation. Plant identification apps and project management tools ensure smooth execution, while safety gear and surveying instruments protect and guide the process.
2. How does a compost bin or tumbler work? 
   • A compost bin or compost tumbler breaks down organic material into nutrient-rich compost. In a bin, material is added and periodically turned (i.e., with a fork) to promote aeration, heat, and microbial activity—becoming garden gold over time. A tumbler, which can be rotated with a handle, allows for easier mixing and faster decomposition. Both systems require a balance of nitrogen-rich "greens" (i.e., kitchen scraps or herbaceous trimmings) and carbon-rich "browns" (i.e., leaves or straw) for efficient composting.
3. How can I attract and support garden-friendly backyard wildlife?
   • To attract and support backyard wildlife, provide food, water, and shelter. Install bird feeders, offer fruit scraps, and opt for native plants. Add a birdbath or pond for fresh water, and install habitats like birdhouses, bat boxes, and bee hotels. Leave natural brush piles and dead wood for shelter, and use organic gardening methods rather than chemical pesticides to support a healthy habitat for birds, pollinators, and other wildlife.
4. How do I choose garden structures?
   • Strive for a balance of beauty, functionality, and durability. First, consider purpose (i.e., plant support, privacy, aesthetic appeal, or storage). Match the size of the structure(s) to your garden's scale to avoid overcrowding. Choose durable materials based on your climate, and factor in your garden style; choose wood or bamboo for a more rustic or natural look, or metal or steel for more modern elegance. Keep in mind that wood may require slightly more upkeep compared to weather-resistant materials like metal or vinyl.
