The key is a proper foundation. We recommend applying a high-quality, pre-emergent herbicide before adding your mulch, and then using a thicker layer of mulch (about 2-3 inches) to block sunlight from reaching weed seeds. Our team can help you select the right type of mulch and pre-emergent for our local soil and climate.

Absolutely. Using dense, low-growing ground covers is a great natural solution. For sunny areas in Delray Beach, we often suggest Asiatic Jasmine, Sunshine Mimosa, or perennial peanut. These plants spread quickly, forming a thick mat that chokes out weeds, reduces erosion, and adds beauty with minimal water needs once established.

First, bring us a sample or a clear photo. Correctly identifying the weed is crucial for choosing the right treatment, whether it's a broadleaf weed, grassy weed, or sedge. We'll then guide you on the appropriate selective herbicide and timing for application in our season, and discuss lawn health practices like proper mowing and fertilization to help your grass outcompete weeds in the future.
