Landscaping Services Haddonfield NJ | Call Knolltop Nursery

For our Haddonfield clay soils and freeze-thaw cycles, we recommend heavy-duty steel or rigid polymer edging. These materials resist heaving and cracking, providing a long-lasting barrier that keeps mulch in and grass out. We can help you select the right profile and installation method for your specific garden beds.

The key is a multi-step approach. First, install a quality landscape fabric or cardboard barrier beneath your mulch. Second, apply a pre-emergent herbicide in early spring before weeds germinate. Finally, maintain a 2-3 inch layer of fresh mulch annually to block sunlight. We carry all these supplies and can guide you on the best schedule for our local growing season.

Absolutely. We specialize in recommending dense groundcovers, native perennials, and shrubs that fill in space naturally, leaving little room for weeds to establish. Plants like creeping phlox, liriope, and certain junipers are excellent for Haddonfield and create a living mulch that reduces maintenance and enhances your landscape's beauty.
