Qualified Landscapers in Aransas Pass, TX 78336 - Lawn & Garden Shoppe

For our dense, coastal soils, core aeration is highly effective. We recommend renting or purchasing a core aerator to pull small plugs of soil, which allows water, air, and nutrients to reach the grassroots. Following aeration, top-dressing with a sandy loam or compost can further improve soil structure. Our team can help you select the right equipment and materials for your specific lawn.

A multi-step approach works best. First, apply a quality landscape fabric or a 2-3 inch layer of newspaper as a barrier before adding mulch. We recommend using a pre-emergent herbicide designed for landscaped areas, which creates a barrier to stop weed seeds from germinating. Finally, maintain a 2-3 inch layer of mulch, as thicker layers naturally suppress light and prevent weed growth. We carry all these supplies and can guide you on application.

For long-lasting weed control in Aransas Pass, shredded hardwood or cedar mulch is an excellent choice. These types interlock well, resist washing away in rains, and break down slowly to enrich the soil. For even greater suppression, consider rubber mulch for permanent, non-plant beds. We stock a variety of options and can advise on the best choice for your garden's aesthetics and functionality.
