Act Now Landscaping | Experienced Landscaping in Longview, WA

We prevent shifting by properly excavating and preparing the base with compacted gravel, using a high-quality landscape fabric as a barrier, and securely setting rocks with strategic placement and sometimes mortar for stability. This approach combats our area's drainage and soil movement to keep your rock garden looking intentional and neat for years.

The most effective method is a multi-step process: we start by removing existing weeds, then apply a professional-grade landscape fabric or pre-emergent herbicide, and finally install a thick layer (3-4 inches) of the right type of mulch. We recommend using coarse, shredded bark mulch common in the Pacific Northwest, as it decomposes slowly and creates a denser barrier against the persistent weeds in our region.

Absolutely. We offer comprehensive services from designing new rock gardens and beds with weed prevention in mind, to regular maintenance visits. Our maintenance plans include checking for rock settlement, refreshing mulch layers, and managing any weed breakthroughs, ensuring your landscape remains beautiful and low-maintenance throughout the seasons in Longview.
