In the second hour, Dean continues the discussion on lawn shrimp infestations, explaining their beneficial role in composting but highlighting the need to address excessive moisture to prevent them from invading homes. He reassures listeners that lawn shrimp are not harmful to health and pest control services can assist with cleanup and moisture control.

Dean then talks about the benefits of landscaping and takes a call from a listener interested in creating a Japanese-style garden, advising them to consult local bonsai nurseries for expertise. He explains the differences between hardscape, landscape, and softscape, describing how each serves different outdoor needs. Hardscape includes solid surfaces like stone or concrete, while softscape encompasses natural elements like soil and plants.

Finally, Dean discusses the purpose of hardscape in modern landscape design, emphasizing the importance of boundaries such as walls, fences, and hedges to define different areas. He encourages designing landscapes to balance functionality, efficiency, and the return of nature to the property.
