Landscape Edging & Weed Control in Ararat, NC | Ty's Turf

The most effective strategy is a combination of proper prep and maintenance. We start by removing all existing weeds and roots, then apply a quality landscape fabric or a thick layer of fresh mulch as a barrier. For long-term control, we can apply a pre-emergent herbicide safe for your plants. Regular touch-ups with fresh mulch also help suppress new growth. Every property is different, so we assess your specific beds and soil to recommend the best approach.

It depends on the material and extent of the damage. For minor issues with plastic or metal edging, we can often straighten, re-secure, or patch sections. However, with significant cracking, sunken pavers, or rotted wood, replacement is usually more cost-effective and durable in the long run. We can install new, sturdy edging—like heavy-duty plastic, steel, or stone—that will withstand our North Carolina weather and keep a crisp, clean line for years.

Good edging is more than just looks; it's a functional barrier. It clearly separates your mulch or garden beds from your lawn, which helps prevent grass and weeds from creeping into your beds. It also stops mulch from washing onto your lawn during heavy rains, which is common here. By maintaining sharp edging, you make mowing and trimming easier, protect your plant roots, and create a neat, intentional appearance that boosts your home's curb appeal.
