Common Questions
How does AR Landscaping prevent weeds from coming back in my Joliet mulch beds?
We tackle mulch bed weeds with a multi-step approach. First, we clear existing weeds and apply a pre-emergent herbicide to prevent new growth. Then, we install a fresh layer of quality mulch at the proper depth (typically 2-3 inches), which naturally suppresses weeds by blocking sunlight. We also ensure proper bed edging to keep grass from creeping in. For Joliet's climate, we recommend refreshing mulch annually to maintain its effectiveness.
What can be done about tree roots damaging my lawn in Joliet?
Surface tree roots are common here due to our soil types. AR Landscaping offers several solutions. For minor issues, we can carefully add a thin layer of topsoil and reseed the area. In cases where roots are causing significant tripping hazards or lawn death, we may recommend professional root pruning (done carefully to avoid harming the tree) followed by regrading and sod installation. We assess each situation to choose the safest, most effective method for your lawn's health.
Do you offer ongoing maintenance to keep these local landscaping problems under control?
Yes, we provide seasonal maintenance plans tailored to Joliet homeowners. This includes regular mulch bed inspections and weed removal, mulch refreshing as needed, and monitoring for tree root issues. Our plans help catch problems early, saving you time and money.
