Landscaping Oxford MI | Call K&V Landscaping

The most effective long-term solution involves a multi-step approach we use for Oxford homes. First, we remove all existing weeds and old, decomposed mulch. Then, we apply a high-quality landscape fabric or a natural pre-emergent barrier to prevent new weed seeds from taking root. Finally, we install a fresh, thick layer of shredded hardwood mulch, which is excellent for our local soil. This proper depth and material combination smother potential growth and retains moisture, keeping your beds clean and healthy season after season.

Absolutely, we can help! Most timer issues in our area don't require a full system replacement. Our first step is a diagnostic check of your timer's power source, wiring connections, and programming. Often, the fix is simple, like resetting the program after a power surge or replacing a faulty module. We carry common timer brands and can repair or provide a like-for-like upgrade on the spot. We'll only recommend a full replacement if the unit is obsolete or if upgrading to a smart, water-saving model would significantly benefit your Oxford property.

For optimal results in our local climate, we recommend a seasonal schedule. The ideal time to refresh mulch is in mid to late spring, after the ground has warmed and we've done initial weeding. This prepares your beds for summer. For irrigation, the critical service window is in early spring, before you turn the system on. We'll winterize it in the fall. This spring check includes inspecting for freeze damage, adjusting sprinkler heads, and programming the timer for the growing season, ensuring your lawn gets the right amount of water without waste.
