Q&A
What's the best way to prevent weeds in my mulch beds here in Westport?
The key is a multi-step approach. We start with proper bed preparation and edging to create a clear barrier. Then, we apply a high-quality landscape fabric or a thick layer of mulch—we recommend local hardwood mulch for our area—which naturally suppresses weeds by blocking sunlight. For existing problems, our shrub care services include targeted weed removal and the application of safe, effective pre-emergent treatments to stop future growth before it starts.
Can you fix lawn damage caused by surface tree roots without harming the tree?
Absolutely. This is a common issue in Westport. Instead of damaging the tree by cutting major roots, we offer solutions like carefully grading and adding a thin layer of topsoil mixed with shade-tolerant grass seed over minor roots. For more significant areas, we often recommend converting the damaged zone into a landscaped bed with shade-loving plants or installing decorative ground cover like mulch or stone. Our tree care experts can also assess if selective, professional root pruning is a safe option.
Do you handle both shrub disease issues and complete stump removal?
Yes, we provide a full cycle of care. Our disease and insect management services for shrubs diagnose and treat common local blights to restore plant health. If a shrub or tree is beyond saving and requires removal, our team safely extracts it. We then complete the job with professional stump removal using specialized grinding equipment. This eliminates tripping hazards, prevents pest infestations, and clears the area so we can replant or re-sod, giving your Westport landscape a fresh, clean start.
