Tom’s Custom Landscapes | Licensed Landscapers in Spring, TX

The most effective prevention starts with proper installation. We use a landscape fabric barrier beneath a sufficient depth of high-quality mulch, which blocks sunlight and smothers potential weeds. For Spring's climate, we also recommend a targeted pre-emergent treatment in early spring and fall to stop weed seeds from germinating, keeping your beds cleaner for longer.

Absolutely. Strategic design is a powerful weed deterrent. We focus on creating defined beds with clean, deep edging that prevents grass and weeds from creeping in. By selecting the right plants for our local soil and spacing them appropriately, we promote healthy growth that naturally outcompetes weeds, reducing the bare ground where they typically take hold.

In Spring, thin mulch layers, poor-quality mulch that contains seeds, and lack of edging are common culprits. Our solution is a comprehensive refresh: we remove old mulch and weeds, apply a pre-emergent herbicide, install a fresh layer of premium, seed-free mulch at the correct depth, and ensure edging is intact. This system dramatically reduces future infestations.
