The best approach depends on the material and extent of damage. For minor issues, we can often reset and secure existing edging. For plastic edging that's cracked or heaved by our local soil, we typically recommend removal and replacement with a more durable material like metal or stone, which better withstands the freeze-thaw cycles and root pressure common in our area. Proper installation is key to preventing quick reoccurrence.

Weeds in mulch beds are a frequent issue here, often due to wind-blown seeds, thin mulch layers, or a lack of a weed barrier. A common solution is a two-part approach: first, we remove existing weeds and then apply a fresh, thick layer (about 3 inches) of quality mulch. For long-term control, we can apply a pre-emergent herbicide designed for landscaped beds, which creates a barrier to stop weed seeds from germinating, saving you hours of back-breaking weeding.

Absolutely. These issues are often connected. Properly installed, robust edging helps contain mulch, preventing it from washing onto lawns and thinning out (which invites weeds). Our service focuses on this integrated solution: we install durable edging that defines the bed and holds a deep mulch layer in place. This combined approach not only looks crisp but also creates a healthier, low-maintenance landscape that naturally suppresses weed growth and protects your edging investment.
