S T & Sons Landscaping | Top-Rated Landscaping Services in Round Lake, IL

The most effective approach is a combination of manual removal and targeted, professional-grade treatments. In Round Lake, many weeds thrive in our local soil. We start by removing existing weeds at the root, then apply a tailored pre-emergent and post-emergent control plan to prevent regrowth and address specific weed types common to our area, ensuring a cleaner lawn for the season.

We practice health-first pruning. Instead of just shearing the outside, we carefully thin out overgrown shrubs by removing select older branches at their base. This method, ideal for our local plant varieties, allows more light and air into the center, promotes strong new growth from within, and reshapes the plant to look natural and tidy without harming its long-term vitality.

For major cleanup and rejuvenation pruning, late winter or early spring is ideal, just before new growth starts. This timing allows us to clearly see the structure of plants and remove winter damage. For weed control, a spring pre-emergent application is crucial, followed by spot treatments throughout the growing season. We'll create a seasonal schedule tailored to your specific landscape's needs.
