H & H Landscaping - Barboursville's Experienced Landscaping

The most effective strategy is a combination of proper mulch depth, using a pre-emergent herbicide in early spring before weeds germinate, and installing a quality landscape fabric or geotextile barrier beneath the mulch. For existing beds, we recommend a thorough manual removal or a targeted post-emergent treatment, followed by a fresh layer of mulch to a depth of 2-3 inches to suppress future growth.

In Barboursville, common causes include power surges from storms, moisture intrusion into the controller from humidity or improper sealing, and outdated timers that can't handle modern voltage fluctuations. We recommend installing a surge protector, ensuring the unit is in a dry, protected location, and considering an upgrade to a smart controller, which is more reliable and can actually conserve water by adjusting schedules based on local weather.

Absolutely. We create customized seasonal maintenance plans for Barboursville homes that include scheduled mulch bed refreshes and weed prevention, spring and fall irrigation system check-ups (including timer diagnostics and zone testing), and overall plant health monitoring. This proactive approach saves you time, water, and money by catching small issues before they become big, expensive problems.
