Landscaping Services Redding CA | Call Dee's Gardens

For effective, long-term weed control in our area, we recommend a multi-step approach: start with a quality landscape fabric or a thick layer of mulch to block sunlight. Then, choose dense, vigorous ground covers or shrubs suited to Redding's climate that naturally outcompete weeds. We can help you select the right plants and organic pre-emergent treatments to keep your beds looking clean with less maintenance.

This is a common issue in Redding. The best solution is often to transition the area around the tree's base to a shade-tolerant ground cover or decorative mulch bed, which is healthier for the tree than struggling grass. For minor surface roots, carefully adding a thin layer (1-2 inches) of topsoil mixed with compost and reseeding with a shade-tolerant grass blend can help. We can assess your specific tree and lawn to recommend the safest, most effective fix.

We specialize in native and adapted plants that are tough enough for Redding's climate and naturally resist weeds. Great choices include manzanita, ceanothus (California lilac), and coyote brush for shrubs, and creeping thyme or sedum for ground covers. These plants establish deep root systems, require less water, and form dense mats or canopies that leave little room for weeds to take hold. Stop by, and we'll help you design a beautiful, resilient garden.
