Landscapers Yorkville IL | Call RH Landscaping

In Yorkville, patchy grass is often due to compacted soil, poor drainage, or thin turf. Our approach starts with core aeration to relieve soil compaction and improve water penetration. We then overseed with high-quality, region-appropriate grass seed blends and apply a starter fertilizer to promote strong root growth. Consistent, deep watering is key in the weeks following. This proven method addresses the root cause for a thicker, more uniform lawn.

Weeds in mulch beds are a common frustration. The most effective solution is a multi-step process. First, we manually remove existing weeds, roots and all. Then, we apply a pre-emergent herbicide to prevent new weed seeds from germinating. Finally, we refresh the mulch layer to a depth of 2-3 inches, which blocks sunlight and further suppresses weed growth. Using a quality, shredded hardwood mulch that interlocks also helps prevent washouts in our Illinois weather.

Absolutely. Consistent care is the best defense. We offer seasonal maintenance programs tailored for Yorkville homes, including spring and fall clean-ups, regular edging of beds to keep mulch contained, periodic weeding, and lawn fertilization schedules. This proactive approach maintains soil health, promotes dense grass to crowd out weeds, and keeps your landscape looking its best year-round with less effort on your part.
