Common Questions
Why do weeds keep growing through my mulch beds in Portland?
This is a common issue in our area. Often, it's because a proper weed barrier wasn't installed, the existing mulch layer is too thin, or organic mulch has broken down. We solve this by first removing existing weeds, installing a high-quality fabric barrier, and then applying a thick, fresh layer of mulch to block sunlight and prevent new weed seeds from taking root.
How can I tell if my sprinklers have coverage gaps?
Look for dry, brown patches or areas of stunted grass growth, especially near the edges of your lawn or around obstacles. The best way is a simple 'can test'—place empty tuna cans around your yard and run your sprinklers; uneven water levels in the cans reveal the gaps. We offer a professional sprinkler audit to map your coverage and adjust or replace heads for complete, even watering.
What's the best approach for a low-maintenance, weed-free landscape in Portland?
A proactive, layered approach works best here. Start with a professional-grade weed barrier under your mulch. Consider using inorganic mulch like river rock in high-traffic or problem areas, as it lasts longer. For your lawn, ensure your sprinkler system is tuned for even coverage to promote thick grass that naturally crowds out weeds. We can design and install a tailored solution that minimizes your weekend weeding for good.
