Cousins landscape: Local Landscapers Serving Bennettsville, SC 29512

Dead patches here are often due to compacted soil, drought stress, or disease. The best approach is aeration to relieve compaction, followed by overseeding with a grass variety suited to our local climate. Proper, consistent watering after treatment is key to successful regrowth. We can assess the specific cause and implement a tailored rejuvenation plan.

Persistent weeds in mulch beds usually mean the underlying weed barrier has failed or wasn't installed properly. The most effective solution is to remove the old mulch and weeds, install a fresh, high-quality landscape fabric, and then re-mulch to a proper depth (about 2-3 inches). This creates a lasting barrier that suppresses weeds while retaining soil moisture.

Absolutely. Proactive care is the best defense. For lawns, we recommend a seasonal fertilization and aeration schedule to maintain soil health and grass density, making it harder for weeds and disease to establish. For mulch beds, we provide maintenance services like refreshing mulch layers and checking barriers annually, which is far easier than tackling a full weed invasion later.
