Marotta Landscape & Design | Expert Landscapers in Cleveland, OH

Our designs strategically address overgrowth by selecting the right plant species for the right location and incorporating proper spacing from the start. We can redesign your beds to feature shrubs that mature to a manageable size for your space, eliminating constant pruning. For existing overgrowth, our plans often include renovation—carefully removing or transplanting problem shrubs and replacing them with better-suited varieties that enhance your home's curb appeal without the maintenance headache.

Our comprehensive design service goes beyond plant selection to tackle weed prevention at the root. We specify proper bed preparation, including installing a quality weed barrier where appropriate. We design functional bed edges that clearly separate lawn from bed, reducing grass encroachment. Crucially, we calculate the correct mulch depth and type—often recommending shredded hardwood for our area—to effectively suppress weeds while retaining moisture. A well-designed bed is easier to maintain, saving you time and effort.

We typically recommend starting with the front yard. Overgrown shrubs and weedy beds most negatively impact your home's curb appeal and first impression. A front yard redesign with Marotta directly addresses these visible issues, providing immediate satisfaction and increasing property value. We can create a cohesive design that introduces order, defines clean lines, and uses layered plantings to crowd out weeds naturally. Once your front is under control, we can plan a phased approach for the backyard, aligning with your budget and vision.
