Questions and Answers
What's the best way to prevent weeds from growing back in my Falmouth mulch beds?
The key is a multi-step approach. First, we remove existing weeds and their roots. Then, we apply a quality landscape fabric or biodegradable barrier specifically chosen for our Maine climate. Finally, we top it with a proper depth of mulch, which not only suppresses new weeds but also helps retain soil moisture. This method tackles the common Falmouth issue of persistent weeds much more effectively than mulch alone.
How can Yard Garb help with a yard that's always soggy or has drainage problems?
We start by assessing the specific drainage issue on your property, whether it's surface pooling or a high water table. Solutions can range from regrading the land to direct water away from your home, installing French drains or dry wells to capture and redirect subsurface water, or creating rain gardens that manage runoff naturally. Our goal is to provide a long-term fix that protects your lawn's health and your property's foundation.
As a Falmouth homeowner, when is the best time of year to address these landscaping problems?
For drainage work, late summer and early fall are often ideal, as the ground is typically drier, making installation easier. For mulch bed renovation and weed prevention, spring is a great time to get ahead of the growing season, but it can effectively be done in early summer or fall as well. We can evaluate your specific situation and recommend the optimal timing for lasting results in our local climate.
