Landscaping Services Charlotte NC | Call Howard's landscapes

The key is a multi-step approach. We start by removing existing weeds, then apply a pre-emergent herbicide before installing a fresh, proper depth of high-quality mulch. We also recommend using a landscape fabric barrier in certain areas and ensuring your mulch layer is thick enough (typically 2-3 inches) to block sunlight and suppress new weed seeds. Regular maintenance touch-ups are part of our service to keep them at bay.

Most overgrown shrubs in Charlotte can be saved with expert rejuvenation pruning! We assess the health and type of shrub to determine the best technique—whether it's a hard prune to encourage new growth from the base or a careful selective thinning to restore shape and density. This process promotes healthier plants, improves airflow to prevent disease, and can often make an old landscape look brand new without the cost of removal and replacement.

Absolutely. We offer tailored maintenance plans that include regular weeding of mulch beds, edging for a crisp look, seasonal mulching refresh, and scheduled pruning to keep shrubs and hedges in ideal shape. This proactive approach is the most effective and stress-free way to protect your investment and enjoy a consistently beautiful yard year-round in Charlotte's climate.
