Rick's Landscaping - Rockland's Local Landscaping

In Rockland, many weeds thrive due to our soil and climate. The most effective approach is a year-round program. We start with a pre-emergent treatment in early spring to prevent weeds from germinating, followed by targeted post-emergent sprays for existing weeds. We also assess soil health and recommend core aeration and proper mowing heights to help your grass outcompete weeds naturally.

Absolutely. Standing water is a common issue in our area and can lead to mosquito breeding and lawn damage. We offer drainage solutions like installing French drains, dry wells, or regrading the landscape to redirect water flow away from your home and into appropriate areas. A site inspection will determine the best, most cost-effective fix for your specific property.

We typically recommend addressing drainage first. Standing water creates weak, soggy soil where weeds often take root more easily. By solving the drainage issue, you create a healthier foundation for your lawn. Once proper water flow is established, our weed control treatments become significantly more effective and long-lasting, giving you a better overall result.
