Landscapers New Ipswich NH | Call Adams Landscaping

We recommend a multi-step approach: first, we remove existing weeds completely, including roots. Then we apply a pre-emergent herbicide specifically formulated for New Hampshire conditions before adding fresh mulch. Finally, we install high-quality landscape fabric as a barrier. This combination prevents about 95% of weed regrowth while allowing proper water drainage.

Moss thrives here due to our acidic soil, shade from mature trees, and compacted areas. We address this by first testing your soil's pH and applying lime if needed to reduce acidity. Then we aerate compacted areas to improve drainage and overseed with shade-tolerant grass varieties. For persistent moss, we use iron-based treatments that eliminate moss without harming surrounding grass.

We suggest quarterly visits: spring cleanup and pre-emergent application, summer weed control and moss monitoring, fall aeration and overseeding, and winter preparation. This regular schedule catches issues early and prevents the buildup that leads to major infestations. Many of our clients find this proactive approach saves them time and money compared to reactive treatments.
