Our knowledgeable staff here at Garden-Ville are available to answer many of the questions you might have about gardens, landscaping, and trees. Many problems with plants, however, cannot be responsibly diagnosed other than in person. We're located in central Texas and may not be familiar with the details of gardening in very different climate or soil zones. One of the guiding principles of organic growing is adapting methods to the particularites of local soil and climate. With that in mind we'll do our best to answer your question, but if we can't we'll be happy to help you find the appropriate resources or professionals in your area.

  • I have water pooling around my foundation and no vegetation on the soil as it located in a walkway and too close to the house, what soil would you recommend using to grade? I have heard that sand and manure our not a good idea to add to black clay soil. Thank you for your time, Carol

    Since it is in a walkway I would recommend that you make a pathway with rock, or decomposed granite, or some other type of aggregate. It would not do you any good to amend the soil that will be walked on. You can grade the area with a base rock foundation and lay some type of decorative rock to make a pathway that helps with runoff.
