Landscaping Rochester NY | Call Browncroft Lawn & Landscape

Winter frost heave and snow plows are tough on edging here. We assess the damage and can repair or replace your edging with durable materials and installation techniques designed for our climate. For prevention, we often recommend deeper installation or specific edging types that better resist shifting, and we can add a fall clean-up service to remove debris that traps moisture and worsens frost damage.

Weeds here are tenacious. Our most effective approach is a combination of manual removal of existing weeds, followed by a professional-grade pre-emergent herbicide application tailored to the common weeds in our area. We also focus on improving bed health with proper mulching, which suppresses new weed growth and retains moisture for your desirable plants. A seasonal maintenance plan can keep them under control year-round.

We often recommend addressing damaged edging first. Cracked or sunken edging allows grass and weeds to invade your beds more easily, making the weed problem worse. By repairing the edging, we create a clean, defined barrier. This makes subsequent weed control treatments more effective and long-lasting, as it prevents lawn grasses from creeping back in. It's a foundational step for a healthier landscape.
