Landscaping Services Forest Park IL | Call Gerger & Greco Landscaping

We use a two-step approach. First, we thoroughly remove existing weeds and apply a pre-emergent treatment to stop new seeds from germinating. Then, we apply a proper layer of fresh, high-quality mulch. The right depth and type of mulch block sunlight from reaching weed seeds, naturally suppressing growth. This method is far more effective than just adding mulch on top of existing weeds, which is a common issue we fix in Forest Park.

Moss typically indicates underlying issues like compacted soil, poor drainage, or too much shade. We don't just scrape it away; we diagnose the cause. Our service includes core aeration to relieve soil compaction, recommendations for improving drainage, and tailored overseeding with shade-tolerant grass blends that can out-compete moss. This addresses the root of the problem for a healthier, moss-free lawn.

Absolutely. We offer seasonal maintenance plans specifically designed for the Forest Park area. This includes monitoring mulch beds for breakthrough weeds, refreshing mulch as needed, and providing seasonal lawn treatments that promote thick, healthy turf resistant to moss and weeds. Consistent, expert care is the most effective way to protect your investment and keep your landscape looking its best year-round.
