David Martinez Landscaping - Chicago's Certified Landscaping Services

Weeds in mulch beds are a common Chicago issue, often due to wind-blown seeds and underlying weed seeds in the soil. Our landscape maintenance service includes thorough weeding and the application of pre-emergent treatments to prevent new growth. For a more permanent solution, we can assess your shrub beds and recommend proper shrub planting and care to create dense, healthy coverage that naturally suppresses weeds.

Moss in Chicago lawns typically indicates shade, compacted soil, poor drainage, or low soil pH. Our lawn care program starts with a diagnosis of the specific conditions in your yard. We then implement core aeration to relieve compaction, adjust soil pH as needed, and recommend proper grass varieties for shaded areas. Coupled with our shrub pruning services to responsibly trim back overhanging branches for better sunlight, we can help your grass outcompete the moss.

Unhealthy shrubs in Chicago can result from disease, insect infestations (like scale or aphids), or environmental stress. Our specialized disease and insect management services for shrubs involve a precise diagnosis. We then apply targeted, environmentally responsible treatments. Often, improving shrub health through proper pruning, transplanting to a better location, or removal of severely affected plants—all services we provide—is the most effective long-term strategy for a resilient landscape.
