Qualified Landscapers in Summit, NJ 07902 - R. MAPLE Lanscaping

Weeds in mulch beds are often caused by existing weed seeds or poor bed preparation. In Summit's climate, a simple layer of mulch isn't always enough. We tackle this by first removing existing weeds, applying a professional-grade weed barrier or pre-emergent where appropriate, and then installing a proper depth of quality mulch. This method provides longer-lasting suppression and keeps your beds looking clean with less maintenance for you.

Standing water is typically due to poor grading, compacted soil, or insufficient drainage—common issues in our area. It can lead to mosquitos, lawn damage, and foundation problems. R. MAPLE Landscaping assesses your yard's specific flow and can implement solutions like regrading, installing French drains or channel drains, and creating dry wells or rain gardens to safely redirect water away from your home's foundation and into appropriate dispersal areas.

We generally recommend addressing drainage first. Standing water can weaken plants, create muddy conditions that spread weed seeds, and undermine any new landscaping. By solving the water issue first, we create a stable, healthy foundation for your soil and plants. Then, we can effectively renovate your mulch and planting beds to prevent weeds, ensuring both solutions work together long-term for a healthier, more manageable yard.
