Marshall Landscaping - Newberg's Trusted Landscaping

Weeds in mulch are often due to a thin layer of mulch or weed seeds in the soil beneath. We start by removing existing weeds and applying a pre-emergent treatment to prevent new growth. Then, we install a proper, thick layer of quality mulch—a key step many overlook—to block sunlight and create a lasting barrier. Our maintenance plans keep beds clean and effective year-round.

Dead patches here are commonly caused by compacted soil, fungal disease, or improper watering. It's rarely just a 'seed and water' fix. We diagnose the root cause by checking soil health and drainage. Our solution typically involves core aeration to relieve compaction, applying targeted treatments for disease, and overseeding with grass varieties proven to thrive in our local climate for a durable, green lawn.

The best strategy is proactive, seasonal care tailored to our Willamette Valley weather. We recommend a program that includes spring clean-up and pre-emergent weed control, summer hydration management, fall aeration and overseeding to repair summer stress, and winter preparation. This consistent, expert care builds resilience against our common problems, saving you time and money compared to reactive fixes.
