C & B Lawn Care Service - Edison's Local Landscaping Services

The most effective strategy is a combination of proper preparation and maintenance. We start by installing a high-quality landscape fabric or a thicker layer of fresh mulch to block sunlight from weed seeds. For existing beds, we carefully remove weeds and apply a pre-emergent herbicide specifically formulated for mulch areas, which is safe for your plants. Regular maintenance, including refreshing mulch layers and spot-treating any new growth, keeps your Edison beds looking clean and healthy all season.

Poor grading, where your lawn slopes toward your home or creates low spots, can lead to serious issues like basement flooding, soil erosion, and waterlogged grass that invites disease and pests. In Edison's variable climate, proper drainage is crucial. We fix this by carefully regrading the lawn, using specialized equipment to reshape the soil's slope and ensure water flows away from your foundation and into appropriate drainage areas. This not only protects your home but also creates a healthier, more even lawn surface.

Absolutely. We often find that drainage issues and weed problems are connected, as soggy soil can create ideal conditions for certain weeds. Our comprehensive approach for Edison homes includes an assessment of your lawn's grading and mulch beds. We'll develop a plan that may involve regrading to solve the water issue first, followed by targeted weed control and mulch bed renovation. This integrated solution addresses the root causes, giving you a healthier, more resilient landscape.
