Questions and Answers
My landscape edging in Le Mars keeps getting damaged or pushed out of place. What's the best solution?
This is a very common issue in our area due to Iowa's freeze-thaw cycles and mower contact. At Al's Pro Lawns, we assess the damage and typically recommend removing the old, compromised edging. We then install new, heavy-duty professional-grade edging, ensuring it's set at the proper depth and secured to withstand frost heave and equipment, giving you a clean, long-lasting edge for your beds.
How can I stop weeds from growing through my mulch beds so quickly?
Simply adding new mulch on top won't solve the weed problem. Our process starts with removing old mulch and any existing weeds. We then apply a professional-grade landscape fabric or a safe, effective pre-emergent herbicide—depending on your preference and the bed's plants—to create a barrier. Finally, we install a fresh, thick layer of mulch. This proper bed preparation is key to significantly reducing weed growth throughout the season.
Do you offer a combined service for edging and mulching to refresh my landscaping?
Absolutely. We find that addressing both issues together is the most effective way to completely revitalize your landscape. Our popular bed renewal service includes repairing or replacing damaged edging, thorough weeding and bed preparation, and the application of new mulch. This comprehensive approach not only solves the immediate problems but also gives your Le Mars home instant, polished curb appeal that lasts.
