Question
Trying to get landscaping done on front of house. What do you recommend for making mounds? Landscaping cloth at bottom? Topsoil / peat moss mix? Do you recommend round up first prior to anything else?
Could you give me your recommendation on what to do prior to planting shrubs around home to prepare it?
Thanks,
Maria

Answer
Hi Maria
either or, when building a raised bed cloth is the builders personal choice. if round up is used allow 2 weeks before any planting is done. any top soil that has good drainage will be fine. if you are planting shrubs soil drainage is the most important thing.  Good luck  Larry  ;-)
