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.

Feel free to browse the topics below to see if we've already answered a question similar to yours. If you can't find the information you need, the question submission form is located at the bottom of the page.

  • We have an area in our yard that is approximately 20 x 30 feet where grass will not grow. Even our St. Augustine will not creep over into this area. It has fairly new top soil that we bought to level out that area and to cover some large pine tree roots that had surfaced. The soil kit we bought shows the PH is fine. We've tried grass for sun/shade areas/shady areas/dense shade areas to no avail. Any advice would be appreciated.

    Lawn Questions, mulch

    Pine needles inhibit the growth of pretty much anything else, including grass and ground cover. If this area is under pine trees I'd recommend mulching around the trees rather than trying to grow anything.
