Carlos & Seilin Landscaping | Landscaping Services in Riverdale, MD 20737

The best approach depends on the cause, but for most bare patches in our area, we recommend core aeration to relieve soil compaction, followed by overseeding with a grass blend suited for Maryland's climate. Proper watering after seeding is crucial. We can assess your specific lawn conditions and provide a targeted repair plan to encourage thick, healthy grass growth.

Preventing weeds starts with proper bed preparation. We recommend applying a pre-emergent herbicide before laying new mulch and using a landscape fabric barrier. Using the right type and depth of mulch (typically 2-3 inches) also suppresses weed growth by blocking sunlight. Our service includes edging beds to create a clean separation from your lawn, which further helps keep grass and weeds from encroaching.

Timing is key for effective results. Early fall is ideal for seeding and major repairs, as cooler temperatures and fall rains support strong root growth. Spring is perfect for pre-emergent weed control and addressing winter damage. For general maintenance like mowing and bed care, a regular schedule from spring through fall works best. We can create a seasonal plan tailored to your landscape's needs.
