Schmitt Landscaping & Lawn Care Services | Experienced Landscaping Services in Pittsburgh, PA

The key is a multi-step approach we use for Pittsburgh homes. First, we properly clean and edge the bed, then apply a high-quality landscape fabric or pre-emergent herbicide barrier. Finally, we install a fresh, thick layer of mulch (at least 2-3 inches) to block sunlight and suppress new weed growth. This combination, maintained annually, is highly effective against our local weed pressures.

Absolutely. For severe infestations common in our area, we start with a thorough manual removal or safe, targeted herbicide application to eliminate the current weeds. We then revitalize the soil and bed structure before applying our preventative mulching and barrier techniques. Our goal is to not just clear the problem but to reset your beds for easier, long-term maintenance.

Our professional mulching does more than just look good. For Pittsburgh properties, proper mulch helps regulate soil temperature, retains crucial moisture during dry spells, and continuously enriches the soil as it breaks down. Most importantly, it forms a physical barrier against the weed seeds that are prevalent here, protecting your desirable plants and saving you hours of weekend weeding.
