Professional Landscaping in Lewisville, TX 75056 - SiteOne Landscape Supply

For weed suppression, we recommend coarse-textured hardwood bark mulch or shredded cedar mulch. These materials create a dense mat that blocks sunlight from reaching weed seeds. It's also crucial to apply a fresh 2-3 inch layer annually, as mulch decomposes and thins over time, reducing its effectiveness against common local weeds.

First, remove existing weeds, then apply a landscape fabric or quality weed barrier cloth directly on the soil. Next, apply your new mulch on top. For an added layer of defense in Lewisville's climate, consider using a granular pre-emergent herbicide designed for landscaped beds before applying the mulch to prevent new weed seeds from germinating.

A multi-pronged approach works best. We can help you select the right tools, including long-handled weed pullers for deep roots, quality edging to create clean borders that prevent grass and weeds from spreading, and appropriate herbicides for targeted problem areas. Using the right tool for each job makes maintenance much easier for local homeowners.
