Trusted Landscaping Services in Troy, NY 12180 - Capital Landscaping

For our local soil and climate, we recommend a two-step approach. First, we apply a pre-emergent herbicide before mulching to stop weed seeds from germinating. Then, we install a fresh layer of high-quality mulch at the proper depth (about 2-3 inches). This combination blocks sunlight and creates a barrier, effectively suppressing the common weeds we see in Troy while retaining soil moisture.

Moss in Troy lawns is often a sign of underlying issues like compacted soil, poor drainage, shade, or low soil pH. We don't just remove the moss; we diagnose the cause. Our service includes core aeration to relieve compaction, soil testing and amendment to correct pH, and overseeding with shade-tolerant grass blends. This addresses the root problem for a healthier, moss-resistant lawn.

Absolutely. Our fall clean-up service is crucial for protecting your landscape. We remove fallen leaves that can smother grass and breed disease, cut back perennials, and winterize your irrigation system. This preventive care helps your lawn and beds survive the winter healthy and reduces problems like mold and matted grass when spring arrives in the Capital Region.
