Q: How much mulch do you need to prevent weeds?

Keep in mind that no amount of mulch can completely prevent weeds, but a heavier coverage (closer to 4 inches) can suppress weeds enough that you are only seeing them sprout every few weeks. Finer mulch prevents weeds more effectively than large mulch, so if you&rsquo;re using mulched leaves or shredded bark, 1 to 2 inches will likely suffice, while 3 to 4 inches is best for larger mulch, like bark chips or straw.</p></div>

Q: Why is crabgrass so hard to kill?

• <div><p>The main problem with crabgrass is that it produces thousands of seeds that can remain dormant until the following season. To get rid of it, you have to remove existing plants before they have a chance to spread seeds and stop old seeds from germinating.</p></div>

Dave came out a day or so early to look over my property which was a good thing. The crew arrived on time and was ready to start on the day of service. I have a large area to mow and maintain, and they took care of it all. A portion is fenced in and they were able to remove the weeds from it!...
