Common Questions
What's the best way to prevent weeds from coming back in my Harvard mulch beds?
The key is a multi-step approach we use locally: first, we remove all existing weeds and roots. Then, we apply a fresh layer of quality mulch at the proper depth (about 2-3 inches) to block sunlight. Finally, we may recommend a pre-emergent herbicide, applied at the right time for our Illinois climate, to stop weed seeds from germinating. Consistent bed edging also helps keep grass from creeping in.
I have a major weed infestation in my landscaping. Can you help, or is it too far gone?
We can absolutely help—it's rarely too far gone! For severe infestations common in our area, we start with a thorough manual removal or use safe, targeted treatments to eliminate the existing weeds. We then revitalize the bed with fresh mulch and set up a maintenance plan to prevent recurrence. Our goal is to restore your landscape's health and beauty, no matter the starting point.
Why do my mulch beds in Harvard get so weedy, and how often should they be maintained?
Our local conditions—wind, birds, and existing soil seed banks—constantly introduce new weed seeds. Mulch also breaks down over time, becoming thinner and less effective at suppression. For lasting results in our climate, we recommend a professional refresh and weed removal service at least once a year, typically in the spring. Many of our Harvard clients opt for a mid-season check-up as well to stay ahead of any new growth.
