Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best way to stop weeds from growing back in my mulch beds in London?

The most effective method involves a combination of proper preparation and maintenance. We start by removing existing weeds and applying a pre-emergent herbicide before installing a fresh, dense layer of mulch—typically 3 inches deep. For London's climate, using high-quality hardwood or cedar mulch helps suppress weeds longer. Regular inspection and spot-treating any breakthroughs are key to keeping your beds clean and healthy season after season.

I'm seeing brown patches and insect damage on my lawn. What common pests should I look for in the London area?

In our region, common culprits include white grubs, chinch bugs, and armyworms. Grubs feed on grass roots, causing spongy, brown areas that peel back easily. Chinch bugs and armyworms damage the blades themselves, leading to irregular dead patches. The best first step is a professional inspection from a local expert like us. We can accurately identify the pest and apply targeted, effective treatments to eliminate the infestation and help your lawn recover.

Can you help with both weed control and insect issues in one service visit?

Absolutely. We often address these interconnected problems during a comprehensive landscape health visit. We'll assess your entire property, treat active insect infestations with appropriate products, and apply weed control measures to your lawn and mulch beds. This integrated approach saves you time and provides a coordinated defense, making your London yard more resilient. We'll also provide tips on preventative care specific to your property's needs.
