Question Answers
How can a new patio or walkway installation help reduce weeds in my mulch beds?
Properly installed hardscapes like patios and walkways create clear, defined borders that physically block weed encroachment into your mulch beds. We use professional-grade base materials and edging techniques to prevent soil and weed seeds from spreading, giving you a cleaner, more manageable landscape that requires less maintenance.
What's included in your landscape maintenance to control weed overgrowth?
Our maintenance plans are proactive. For shrub and planting beds, this includes regular pruning to improve air circulation, applying pre-emergent treatments to prevent weed seeds from germinating, and using proper mulching techniques to suppress growth. We also provide specific disease and insect management to keep your plants healthy and more resistant to being overtaken by weeds.
Can building a retaining wall help with my yard's landscaping issues?
Absolutely. In Ashford's terrain, a professionally built retaining wall does more than just hold back soil. It corrects drainage issues that can create muddy, weed-friendly areas. By managing water flow and creating level planting spaces, it allows for healthier plant growth and makes maintenance, including weed control in adjacent beds, much more straightforward and effective.
