Nursery One | Trusted Landscaping Services in Tice, FL

A proactive, multi-step approach is key in our climate. We recommend starting with a healthy, dense lawn through proper mowing and fertilization, which naturally chokes out weeds. For persistent problems, our landscape maintenance includes targeted pre-emergent and post-emergent treatments. We also advise on mulching garden beds properly and can install quality weed barriers during new plantings to provide long-term control.

This is a common issue in Tice. The safest solution is to apply a thin layer (1-2 inches) of a high-quality topsoil and compost mix over the roots, then re-seed with a shade-tolerant grass blend. We can handle this process during our landscape maintenance visits. For severe cases, we might recommend transitioning the area to a shade-friendly ground cover or creating a decorative mulch bed around the tree base, which protects the roots and solves the lawn problem.

Absolutely. Our gardening experts at the nursery select plants specifically for their vigor and adaptability to Southwest Florida. We recommend fast-growing, dense ground covers, robust native shrubs, and properly spaced perennials that fill in quickly to leave little room for weeds. We'll help you design a layered garden that's not only beautiful but also naturally low-maintenance and resilient against the common weed pressures in Tice.
