Don's Landscaping & Lawn Care | Experienced Landscaping in New Gloucester, ME

For frost-damaged lawns common in our area, we recommend a core aeration and overseeding service. Aeration relieves soil compaction, allowing new grass roots to penetrate deeply. Overseeding with a cold-hardy grass blend fills in bare spots and strengthens the lawn's overall density to better withstand future winters. This combination is the most effective way to repair damage and promote a thick, resilient turf.

We tackle mulch bed weeds with a multi-step approach. First, we clear all existing weeds and apply a pre-emergent treatment to prevent new seeds from sprouting. Then, we install a fresh layer of quality mulch at the proper depth (2-3 inches) to block sunlight and suppress weed growth. For long-term control, we can also install a professional-grade landscape fabric barrier beneath the mulch during our bed renovation service.

A proactive seasonal plan is key. In spring, we focus on cleaning beds, applying fresh mulch, and addressing early weeds. Summer involves proper mowing, trimming, and monitoring for pests. In fall, we recommend aeration, overseeding to repair summer stress and prepare for winter, and a final leaf cleanup. This consistent care builds lawn and bed health, making them more resistant to frost damage and weed invasion year-round.
