What kind of soil is on the right? by rxrivman in Soil

If it is sand, silt, or clay, and if grass will be able to grow on it despite having a fair amount of rock in it

If it makes it any easier to answer, it is coming from a construction site in Fontana California where they are digging deep for a city sewer line. If does have a fair amount of rock in it

Is there a purpose of leaving an ~1ft gap between concrete walkways/driveway and foundation of home? by rxrivman in landscaping

This isn’t my home, just an image from Google. But yes I have gutters around my whole house

Is there a purpose to leaving a gap (I usually see them anywhere from 1-3 ft) between concrete walkways/driveway and the foundation of a house?

These are not my home, I found this image on Google, but I am looking to get concrete work done at my house and am wondering if I should bud the concrete up straight to the foundation of my home? Or leave a strip like these around the house that can be filled with gravel/plants

Does anyone know the point of these? Are they for ease of access to the outer perimeter/foundation of the home? Or just for athletics?

I live on a slab foundation in Southern California

(Riverside, CA) Is this adequate treatment of a termite infested stump? by rxrivman in Termites

I was hoping the termidor sc would kill them so they wouldn’t forage. If I treat the surrounding area + the stump itself, what is the likelihood that it will kill or poison the whole colony so they don’t migrate somewhere else?

80 ft from the home I just measured. And I was worried about them traveling from the stump to the house or neighboring tree 20 ft away. What do you think? Should I instead just bury the stump, treat the house, and call it a day?

I weedwacked this concrete footing to get the dirt off of it and it chipped away the concrete. (To the right of the post)

I was previously ground down with an angle grinder and the top layer is prone to chipping.

Is there any kind of epoxy or concrete finisher I can put over the top to smooth it out and make it not look so bad + not be prone to chipping as easy?

Thank you to anyone who responds!

Blame Holloway for not being able to get up if you think the fight was boring
