Alex’s Landscaping - Lyndhurst's Best Landscaping

We use a multi-step approach tailored to our local conditions. First, we remove existing weeds and apply a pre-emergent barrier. Then, we install a proper depth of fresh, high-quality mulch, which is key for suppressing new weed growth and retaining soil moisture. We also recommend and can install landscape fabric beneath mulch in high-traffic or problematic areas for longer-lasting protection against those tough Lyndhurst weeds.

Absolutely. As your local experts, we prioritize both your lawn's health and the tree's well-being. For surface root damage, we expertly grade and level the affected area with a topsoil mix, then re-seed or re-sod to restore a smooth, green lawn. In cases where roots are a tripping hazard, we can create a gentle, decorative mulch bed around the base of the tree, which protects the roots and eliminates the need to mow over them.

For our Lyndhurst climate, we generally recommend shredded hardwood or cedar bark mulch. Shredded mulch knits together well, preventing washout and providing excellent weed suppression. Cedar has natural oils that help deter insects. The choice often depends on your specific garden beds and aesthetic preference. During our consultation, we'll assess your property and recommend the best mulch type to keep your beds looking neat and healthy throughout the North Jersey seasons.
