Powers' Landscapes | Experienced Landscapers in Austin, TX

We see this often in Austin soils, which can shift and expand. We assess the cause—often improper installation, material failure, or root growth—and provide a lasting fix. This can include removing the old edging, properly preparing the base, and installing a more durable material like steel or commercial-grade plastic that can withstand our local conditions. Proper, deep installation is key to preventing future displacement.

Austin's climate can make weeds a relentless problem. Our approach is twofold: suppression and prevention. We start by thoroughly removing existing weeds, including roots. Then, we focus on creating a healthy, dense lawn or applying high-quality mulch in beds to block sunlight and prevent new seeds from germinating. We can also recommend a targeted, seasonal maintenance plan to address weeds before they become an infestation, keeping your landscape clean and healthy.

It's a great question, and the two issues are often connected. Damaged edging can actually contribute to weed problems by allowing grass to creep into beds and vice-versa. We generally recommend addressing the edging first, as it re-establishes a clear, physical barrier. Once that clean line is in place, our weed control efforts become much more effective and long-lasting. During a consultation, we can assess your specific situation and create a logical, efficient plan to resolve both.
