Landscape Solutions in Sherrills Ford, NC | Timber Creek Wood Products

A thick, 2-3 inch layer of our natural mulch acts as a physical barrier, blocking sunlight from reaching weed seeds in your soil and preventing them from germinating. This significantly reduces the time you spend weeding. Additionally, our mulch helps retain soil moisture, which keeps your desirable plants healthy and better able to outcompete any weeds that do appear.

While not a direct insecticide, properly installed landscape timbers and cedar edging from Timber Creek create clean, defined borders between your lawn, garden beds, and mulched areas. This clear separation can help discourage certain pests, like grubs, from migrating unchecked. It also makes your landscape easier to inspect and maintain, allowing you to spot signs of insect damage early and address them before they become a major problem.

We recommend starting with a foundation of our bulk mulch. Apply it to your garden beds to immediately suppress weeds and create a less hospitable environment for some soil-dwelling insects. Then, use our landscape timbers or cedar edging to define the borders of those mulched areas. This one-two punch of weed suppression and clear delineation is a highly effective, natural first line of defense for many Sherrills Ford landscapes.
