D&H Landscaping | Reliable Landscapers in Philadelphia, PA

In Philadelphia, common causes include compacted or poor-quality soil, improper planting depth, inadequate watering, and exposure to road salt or pollution. Our team assesses your soil health, checks for proper drainage, and evaluates plant placement to diagnose the issue. We often recommend soil aeration, targeted fertilization, and selecting hardy, native species better suited to our local climate to ensure long-term plant health.

Weeds in mulch beds are often a sign of thin mulch or the wrong type of mulch breaking down. We recommend a two-step approach: first, a thorough manual or eco-friendly removal of existing weeds, including the roots. Then, we apply a fresh, thick layer (about 3 inches) of high-quality, shredded hardwood mulch. This blocks sunlight, retains moisture for your plants, and suppresses new weed growth effectively, keeping your Philadelphia garden beds clean and healthy.

Our seasonal cleanups are tailored to Philadelphia's distinct seasons. A typical spring or fall cleanup includes clearing fallen leaves and debris, pruning dead branches from shrubs and trees, edging garden beds for a crisp look, redefining lawn edges, and applying fresh mulch where needed. This not only instantly boosts your home's curb appeal but is crucial for preventing disease, encouraging new growth, and preparing your landscape for the temperature extremes of summer or winter.
