Common Questions

What's the best way to prevent weeds in my Des Moines mulch beds?

The most effective prevention starts with proper bed preparation. We remove existing weeds, apply a high-quality landscape fabric or biodegradable barrier, and then layer the correct type and depth of mulch. This combination blocks sunlight and smothers weed seeds, which is crucial for tackling common local invaders. Regular top-ups of mulch also help maintain this protective barrier.

Can you help if my mulch beds are already overrun with weeds?

Absolutely. We offer complete bed renovation services for this exact situation. Our process involves removing all old, contaminated mulch and weeds, treating the soil, and installing a fresh weed barrier before applying new mulch. This resets your beds, giving your plants a clean, healthy foundation and providing long-term weed control.

How often should mulch be replaced in Central Iowa to control weeds?

In our climate, we generally recommend refreshing mulch annually. Over a year, mulch breaks down, thins out, and can become mixed with weed seeds. An annual refresh in spring or fall maintains the proper depth (2-3 inches) to effectively suppress weeds, retain soil moisture for your plants, and keep your landscape looking its best.
