Tanner’s landscaping | Licensed Landscaping Services in Carrollton, GA

For lasting weed control in our area, we recommend a two-step approach. First, we apply a quality pre-emergent herbicide in early spring before weeds germinate. Then, we ensure a proper mulch depth of 2-3 inches, which blocks sunlight and smothers potential growth. Using a woven landscape fabric under mulch can provide an extra barrier. Regular inspection and hand-pulling of any breakthrough weeds completes an effective, local strategy.

Bare patches here are often caused by a combination of Georgia's clay-heavy soil, which can compact and hinder growth, seasonal drought stress, or localized disease. The fix involves core aeration to relieve compaction, followed by overseeding with a grass blend suited for our climate, like a tall fescue or Bermuda mix. Proper watering during establishment and a balanced fertilization schedule are crucial for filling in those patches for good.

Absolutely. We develop customized seasonal maintenance plans based on Carrollton's growing cycles. This typically includes spring and fall clean-ups, scheduled fertilization, aeration, overseeding, and pre-emergent weed applications. A consistent plan addresses the root causes of common issues like weeds and bare spots, building a thicker, healthier lawn that naturally resists problems and requires less intervention over time.
