Questions and Answers
What's the best way to deal with moss taking over my Baton Rouge lawn?
Moss often indicates underlying issues like soil compaction, poor drainage, or excessive shade. In Baton Rouge, our approach starts with aeration to improve soil health, followed by targeted moss treatment. We then recommend adjusting your lawn care routine and, if needed, introducing shade-tolerant grasses to prevent it from coming back, giving you a thicker, healthier lawn.
My shrubs are overgrown and blocking windows. How do you handle trimming in Baton Rouge?
We practice strategic pruning, not just shearing. For overgrown shrubs common in our area, we carefully assess the plant's health and shape. We remove dead or crossing branches first to improve air circulation, then selectively trim to reduce size while encouraging natural growth. This method, done at the right time of year, keeps your shrubs healthy, manageable, and looking great.
Can you help prevent my landscape beds from getting overrun with weeds?
Absolutely. A key step is applying a fresh layer of mulch, which suppresses weed seeds and retains moisture—a big help during our hot summers. We also recommend installing a quality landscape fabric barrier beneath the mulch for beds with persistent weed problems. For existing weeds, we provide thorough manual removal and can discuss safe, effective pre-emergent treatments as part of a ongoing maintenance plan.
