Business Background

Coans Landscaping is a trusted, locally-owned landscaping company serving Oakdale, NY, and the surrounding communities. We specialize in creating and maintaining beautiful, functional outdoor spaces tailored to Long Island's unique climate and soil conditions. Our team understands the common local challenges homeowners face, such as rock garden shifting due to seasonal freeze-thaw cycles and persistent mulch bed weeds that thrive in our humid summers. We address these issues with proven techniques: securing rock gardens with proper edging and base materials, and implementing effective weed barrier strategies for mulch beds. With a commitment to quality craftsmanship and personalized service, we help Oakdale residents enjoy resilient, low-maintenance landscapes that enhance curb appeal and withstand local weather patterns.

Question Answers

How do you prevent rock gardens from shifting in Oakdale's climate?

We use a combination of proper site preparation and durable materials. First, we excavate and level the area, then install a compacted gravel base for drainage and stability. We secure larger rocks with landscape adhesive or strategic placement, and edge the garden with sturdy borders to contain the rocks. This approach minimizes shifting from Oakdale's freeze-thaw cycles and heavy rains.

What's the best way to keep weeds out of mulch beds in our area?

For Oakdale homes, we recommend a multi-layered defense. We start by removing existing weeds and roots, then apply a high-quality landscape fabric or cardboard barrier. We top this with 2-3 inches of mulch, choosing types like cedar or cocoa bean that naturally deter weeds. Regular maintenance, including occasional fluffing and top-ups, helps maintain this barrier against our local weed seeds.

Can you help with both design and maintenance for my landscaping issues?

Absolutely. We offer full-service solutions, from initial design consultations to ongoing maintenance. For problems like shifting rock gardens or weedy mulch beds, we assess your specific site, design a tailored plan using local best practices, and implement it with precise installation. We also provide maintenance packages to keep everything looking great and functioning properly year-round in Oakdale.
