Landscaping Services Wilmette IL | Call Bill Kelly Landscape Maintenance

The most effective strategy is a combination of proper mulch application and preventative care. We apply a thick, even layer of high-quality mulch, which blocks sunlight and prevents weed seeds from germinating. For existing beds, we first remove all weeds, then refresh the mulch to the recommended depth. Regular seasonal maintenance, including light cultivation and spot-treating any new growth, keeps your Wilmette landscape looking pristine and significantly reduces future weed problems.

In our Wilmette climate, edging is often damaged by winter frost heave, lawnmower impact, or root growth from nearby plants. Temporary fixes rarely last. We assess the damage and the underlying cause, then repair or replace the edging with durable materials installed correctly for our local conditions. Properly installed edging not only looks sharp but also acts as a vital barrier, keeping mulch in place, grass out of your beds, and preventing further damage.

Absolutely. In fact, addressing mulching and edging together is the most efficient way to solve these interconnected local issues. We often find that damaged edging leads to mulch washing into the lawn, which then allows weeds to take hold. Our comprehensive service includes repairing or reinstalling the edging to create a clean border, then refreshing the mulch within it. This one-two approach restores definition, suppresses weeds, and gives your Wilmette property a complete, polished look.
