Professional Landscaping Services in LEWISTON, ME 04240 - 3 GENERATIONS LANDSC

The key is proper installation and maintenance. We apply a thick enough layer of quality mulch to block sunlight, and we often use a landscape fabric barrier underneath for extra protection. For existing beds, we carefully remove weeds by the root and refresh the mulch layer. Using the right type of mulch for our Maine climate also helps create an environment less friendly to common local weeds.

This is likely soil compaction, a common issue in our area from foot traffic and weather. Compacted soil prevents water, air, and nutrients from reaching grass roots. Our solution is core aeration. We remove small plugs of soil, which relieves compaction, allows for better drainage, and encourages deeper root growth for a healthier, greener lawn that can handle Maine's seasons.

Planning is everything. We focus on creating sustainable designs using native or hardy plants suited to our local soil and climate, which require less water and care. We also implement foundational solutions like proper grading for drainage, quality edging to keep mulch in place, and strategic mulching to suppress weeds from the start. This proactive approach saves you time and effort in the long run.
