Licensed Landscapers in Catonsville, MD 21228 - Lawnshark Landscaping

Our landscape maintenance includes proper mulch bed preparation with edging to prevent grass encroachment, installing quality weed barriers, and maintaining the ideal 2-3 inch mulch depth. We also recommend using shredded hardwood mulch common in Maryland, which decomposes slower and suppresses weeds better than other types. Regular maintenance visits allow us to spot and remove early weed growth before it becomes established.

We assess how tree roots and canopy affect your yard's drainage. Services include strategic pruning to reduce canopy density (allowing more sunlight to dry the soil), root barrier installation to prevent interference with drainage systems, and in some cases, selective tree removal when roots are blocking natural water flow. We also plant water-tolerant native species in problem areas to help absorb excess moisture.

Absolutely. During our regular Catonsville maintenance visits, we perform integrated assessments. We check mulch beds for proper depth and weed growth while simultaneously evaluating drainage patterns. This allows us to recommend solutions like regrading mulch beds to direct water away from foundations or adjusting landscape features to prevent both weed proliferation and water accumulation in the same service call.
