Roberts & Friends Landscaping | Landscaping Services in Frenchburg, KY 40322

In our area, a common mistake is applying mulch without a proper foundation. Weeds often sprout from seeds in the soil below or from the mulch itself. At Roberts & Friends, we recommend and install professional-grade landscape fabric or a quality biodegradable barrier beneath a fresh layer of mulch. This blocks sunlight from reaching weed seeds while still allowing water to penetrate. We also ensure the mulch layer is thick enough (typically 2-3 inches) to suppress growth. Proper edging is also key, as it prevents grass from creeping into the bed and becoming a weed problem.

This is a frequent issue in Frenchburg due to our soil's freeze-thaw cycles, root growth, and lawn mower impact. Flimsy plastic or shallowly installed edging often fails. Our solution is to install durable, rigid edging materials like steel or heavy-duty polymer, set deep into the ground with secure stakes. This creates a permanent barrier that resists heaving from frost and stops grass roots from undermining it. We also ensure it's installed at the correct height to protect it from mower and trimmer damage, saving you from constant repairs.

Absolutely. We regularly perform landscape renovations for Frenchburg homeowners facing this exact situation. Our process starts with a thorough removal of old, decomposed mulch and weeds. We then repair or completely replace the damaged edging with our heavy-duty system. Finally, we install a fresh weed barrier and a new layer of premium mulch. This comprehensive approach doesn't just provide a quick fix; it resets your landscape for easier, long-term maintenance, giving you a clean, crisp look that lasts for seasons.
