Landscapers Orlando FL | Call Superior Cut Lawn and Landscaping

We use a multi-step approach common for our Florida soil. First, we manually remove all existing weeds and their roots. Then, we refresh the mulch layer to the proper depth, which blocks sunlight and suppresses new growth. Finally, we can apply a pre-emergent herbicide, safe for your plants, to create a long-lasting barrier against common Orlando weeds like spurge and dollarweed.

For most popular Orlando hedges like podocarpus, ligustrum, and boxwood, we recommend trimming every 4-6 weeks during the peak growing season from spring through fall. This frequent schedule maintains a crisp, manicured shape and prevents the hedges from becoming overgrown, which can stress the plants and block sunlight from reaching their interior, leading to brown patches.

Yes, unfortunately. Beyond looking unkempt, overgrown hedges can pose real risks. They can harbor pests like rodents, block walkways and visibility from driveways, and in our storm-prone area, heavy, untrimmed branches are more likely to break and cause damage during summer thunderstorms. Regular trimming keeps your hedges healthy, safe, and aesthetically pleasing.
