Terminis Lawn Care - Chesilhurst's Professional Landscaping Services

We tackle mulch bed weeds with a multi-step approach: first removing existing weeds, then applying a pre-emergent herbicide to prevent new growth, and finally refreshing the mulch layer to the proper depth (2-3 inches) to naturally suppress weeds. For Chesilhurst's specific conditions, we recommend using shredded hardwood mulch which decomposes slower and provides better weed suppression.

Moss typically grows in Chesilhurst lawns due to compacted soil, poor drainage, excessive shade, or low soil pH. Our solution begins with core aeration to relieve compaction, followed by soil testing to determine pH levels. We then apply lime if needed to balance acidity, improve drainage where necessary, and overseed with shade-tolerant grass varieties that can outcompete moss in our local conditions.

Our preventative maintenance program includes seasonal fertilization tailored to South Jersey soils, regular mowing at proper heights to encourage dense grass growth, edge trimming to maintain clean bed lines, and seasonal cleanups to remove debris that can harbor weeds or create conditions for moss. We also provide soil testing and consultation to address issues before they become major problems.
