Bills Landscaping & Design: Emergency Landscapers Serving Virginia Beach, VA 23454

The key is a multi-step approach. First, we manually remove existing weeds, roots and all. Then, we apply a quality pre-emergent herbicide to prevent new seeds from germinating. Finally, we install a fresh, thick layer of mulch (about 3 inches) to block sunlight and retain moisture. This combination, tailored to our local soil and climate, is far more effective than just adding more mulch on top of the problem.

In most cases, strategic rejuvenation pruning can save overgrown shrubs. We carefully assess each plant's health and structure. For many common Virginia Beach shrubs, we can perform a deep cut-back at the right time of year to encourage healthy, controlled new growth from the base. This restores their shape and size without the cost of replacement. We'll advise you if a plant is too damaged or poorly placed to recover.

For most Virginia Beach homes, we recommend a seasonal schedule. A spring clean-up tackles winter debris and applies pre-emergent for weeds. Summer visits focus on pruning for shape and controlling fast-growing plants. A fall service prepares beds for winter and is an ideal time for major shrub rejuvenation. This proactive plan is more cost-effective than reacting to problems once they've gotten out of hand.
