Landscaping Services Southfield MI | Call K & C Landscaping

Soil compaction is a frequent issue in our area, preventing water, air, and nutrients from reaching grassroots. Our core aeration service is specifically designed to alleviate this. We use professional equipment to remove small plugs of soil, creating channels that reduce compaction, improve drainage, and promote a healthier, thicker lawn.

The key is a proactive, multi-step approach. We start by installing a fresh layer of quality mulch, which naturally suppresses some weed growth. For existing weeds, we carefully remove them by hand or with targeted treatment. Most importantly, we apply a pre-emergent herbicide to the soil before mulching, which creates a barrier to stop new weed seeds from germinating—a crucial step for long-term control.

We don't recommend it. Simply topping up old mulch can trap weed seeds and debris, creating a perfect environment for more problems. For effective weed control, our process involves removing or turning the old mulch, thoroughly weeding the bed, applying a pre-emergent, and then installing a fresh, proper depth of new mulch. This 'clean slate' method is far more effective for Southfield homes.
