Royal Value Landscaping: Licensed Landscapers Serving Philadelphia, PA 19139

The most effective approach is a combination of manual removal of existing weeds and applying a professional-grade pre-emergent herbicide to prevent new ones from sprouting. In Philadelphia's climate, timing this application correctly is key. We assess your specific soil and sun conditions to create a tailored, long-term prevention plan that keeps your landscape clean and healthy.

This is a common issue in our area due to Philadelphia's freeze-thaw cycles, soil erosion, and improper initial installation. The ground beneath the stones compacts or washes away over time. We fix this by excavating the area, installing a proper compacted gravel base for drainage and stability, and then resetting the stones with securing techniques to prevent future movement.

In many cases, yes. We perform a targeted repair by carefully removing the affected stones, correcting the unstable base material beneath them, and then reinstating the rocks. This focused approach is often more cost-effective than a full rebuild and minimizes disruption to your established garden's look and any surrounding plants.
