Questions and Answers
What's the best way to prevent weeds in my Chicago mulch beds?
The most effective prevention is a combination of proper mulch depth (2-3 inches), using a pre-emergent weed control product in early spring before seeds germinate, and addressing any existing weeds promptly. For a lasting solution, our team can assess your beds, apply professional-grade treatments, and recommend a maintenance schedule to keep them weed-free.
How often should I trim my shrubs in Chicago?
In Chicago's climate, most shrubs benefit from a seasonal trim. A light pruning in late winter or early spring encourages healthy growth, with potential follow-up trims in mid-summer to maintain shape and control overgrowth. We provide expert assessments to determine the ideal schedule for your specific plants to keep them looking neat and thriving.
Can overgrown shrubs damage my property?
Yes, unfortunately. Overgrown shrubs can block windows and pathways, create hiding spots for pests, and their roots may interfere with foundations or siding. More immediately, dense, untrimmed growth can trap moisture against your home, promoting mold or wood rot. Regular trimming by our team maintains safe clearance and promotes plant health.
