Question by Beej: If a neighbors landscaping turns out to be on our property, can I remove it, the trellis and stepping stones?
They moved next door 5 years ago. The property line was not an issue. I recently took down an ailing lilac bush. It was on our side, not theirs. They are furious because they felt it was clearly theirs and we are unneighborly. They had a surveyor come out, the boundary line was established and turns out alot of the landscaping is on our property. Can I have them move their trellis and stepping stones and continue relandscaping the area to my liking?

yes, Talk to them about the encroachment , and explain that if you dont say anything ,
it could become a legal issue in the future since they could claim a legal interest in the future if you dont.

Question by lil_sweetnothings7806: What is a good base for landscaping stones?
We are wanting to lay landscaping stones in a 10'x12' area for a gazebo. What is the best thing to use for a good base before laying the stones. We were thinking of using either driveway stone or sand. What would be the best thing for keeping them from sinking over time?
The stones are 2 1/2 inches thick and 11 1/2 inch square.

Answer by TOOL GUY
3/4 inch or smaller stone

Question by Thomas Z: What is the best approach to get rid of weeds & grass from landscaping (stones)?
We moved into our recently purchased house here in (MI), now that the snow is finally gone and the everything is growing/blooming, we are finding that the landscaping has some issues. The main problem is that weeds and grass is starting to grow through the white landscaping rocks. I'm not sure how long the landscaping has been there. In some of the areas I can see the black mesh material. I want to have a nicely landscape yard, and I guess I actually have that, except for the weeds and grass popping up. Any suggestions?

Answer by katzchen75
An easy solution, if there aren't too many weeds, is to keep a spray bottle of white vinegar handy. Spray the weeds, let them dry out for a day - that will make them easy to rip out. The vinegar is environmentally friendly.
Are the spaces between the stones large enough to put your hand in? If so, maybe you can stuff some black weed paper in there. This is a thin, black, felt-like material that impedes plant growth. I put it under my mulch in the landscaping beds last year, and I didn't get any weed growth.
Good luck!
