The Landscape Company: Local Landscaping Services Serving Hershey, PA 17033

In Hershey, we often deal with stubborn perennial weeds. The most effective control is a professional-grade, pre-emergent and post-emergent program tailored to the specific weeds present. Our experts identify the weed types and apply targeted treatments at the right time of year, breaking their growth cycle and preventing them from coming back, which is key for long-term lawn health.

Moss thrives in our area due to shade, compacted soil, and low soil pH. Simply raking it out won't solve the problem. We stop moss growth by addressing the root causes: we aerate to relieve compaction, apply soil amendments to correct pH and improve drainage, and recommend proper pruning to increase sunlight. This creates an environment where your grass can outcompete the moss.

For Hershey lawns, a proactive seasonal schedule is crucial. In early spring, we apply pre-emergent weed control. Late spring focuses on fertilization and moss treatment if needed. Summer involves monitoring and spot-treating weeds. The most important step is fall aeration, overseeding, and fertilization to build a thick, healthy turf that naturally resists weeds and moss the following year.
