Godwin's Landscaping | Licensed Landscapers in Hot Springs Village, AR

We start by applying a pre-emergent weed barrier to prevent new seeds from germinating. For existing weeds, we carefully remove them by hand or with specialized tools to avoid disturbing the healthy mulch and plants. We then refresh the mulch layer to the proper depth, which helps block sunlight and suppress future weed growth. Our approach is tailored to the soil and climate conditions specific to our area.

Moss thrives in Hot Springs Village lawns due to factors like shade, compacted soil, poor drainage, and low soil pH. Our control strategy involves improving these conditions. We perform core aeration to alleviate compaction, recommend adjustments to watering and sunlight exposure where possible, and apply soil amendments to correct pH. For immediate removal, we use specialized tools to gently rake out the moss without damaging the grass, then overseed with shade-tolerant turf varieties suitable for our region.

We recommend a proactive, seasonal maintenance plan. This includes regular mulch bed refreshment and edging to deter weeds, seasonal aeration and dethatching for lawns to improve health and discourage moss, and proper fertilization based on soil tests. Consistent, knowledgeable care adapted to the local environment is the most effective way to prevent common problems and maintain a vibrant, healthy landscape year-round.
