Tombstone Auto Landscaping Group - Prairie Grove's Emergency Landscapers

In Prairie Grove, fixing a damaged border starts with assessing the underlying cause, which is often soil erosion or root growth. We recommend using durable, locally-sourced materials like Arkansas river rock or pressure-treated timber for repairs. Proper installation with a solid base and secure edging is key to preventing repeat damage from our region's freeze-thaw cycles and heavy rains.

Preventing weeds in our area requires a multi-step approach. First, maintain healthy, dense turf or ground cover to outcompete weeds. We recommend using a pre-emergent herbicide in early spring before weeds germinate, followed by targeted spot treatments. For flower beds, a thick layer of mulch not only suppresses weeds but also helps retain moisture in our Prairie Grove soil.

The most common mistake is improper grading or drainage around landscape borders and beds. When water pools or flows incorrectly, it washes away mulch, undermines edging, and creates ideal conditions for weeds. A proper slope away from your home's foundation and the use of French drains or channel drains in problem areas can solve many recurring landscape issues specific to our local terrain.
