Zoo's Landscaping - Kirkland's Expert Landscapers

The most effective method is a two-part approach: first, we apply a pre-emergent herbicide before laying new mulch to prevent weed seeds from germinating. Then, we install a proper 2-3 inch layer of high-quality mulch, which blocks sunlight and smothers existing weeds. For established beds, our team can perform a thorough weeding and refresh the mulch layer. This Kirkland-tested strategy creates a low-maintenance barrier against common local weeds.

Yes, brown or thinning patches are often a sign of insect activity, such as from grubs or chinch bugs, which are prevalent in our area. The first step is a professional inspection to correctly identify the pest. Based on our findings, we can recommend a targeted treatment plan. Addressing the root cause with expert care not only repairs the damage but also helps fortify your lawn against future infestations, saving you time and money.

We generally recommend refreshing mulch annually to maintain its effectiveness for weed suppression and moisture retention. Kirkland's seasonal weather can break down mulch over time. An annual refresh in the spring helps control weeds before they take hold and keeps your landscaping looking crisp and well-maintained. Our team can assess your specific beds and provide a tailored schedule that fits your landscape's needs.
