Landscaping Plainfield IL | Call Avid Lawn Maintenance

The key is a multi-step approach we use: first, we manually remove existing weeds and their roots. Then, we apply a fresh layer of quality mulch at the proper depth (typically 2-3 inches) to block sunlight and suppress new weed seeds. For longer-lasting control in our area, we can also apply a pre-emergent herbicide specifically labeled for use in mulch beds, creating a barrier that stops weeds before they start.

Yes, that's a classic sign of soil compaction, a common issue here due to our clay-heavy soil and foot traffic. Compaction prevents water, air, and nutrients from reaching grass roots. We fix this with core aeration. Our machine pulls small plugs of soil from your lawn, creating channels that relieve compaction. This allows for better root growth, improves drainage to reduce pooling, and enhances the effectiveness of fertilizers and water.

Absolutely. We regularly create customized service plans for Plainfield homes that address multiple issues efficiently. A common visit might include weeding and refreshing your mulch beds to instantly improve curb appeal, followed by core aeration on the lawn to tackle the underlying soil health. This comprehensive approach saves you time and ensures your entire property is moving toward a healthier, more vibrant state.
