Frequently Asked Questions – Weed Removal and Soil Preparation

Q: Why is soil preparation important before planting or sod installation?

A: Proper soil prep ensures your lawn or garden has the drainage, nutrients, and structure needed for healthy plant growth. Before sod installation, aerating and amending the soil allows roots to establish quickly and evenly, reducing water needs and boosting resilience.

Q: How do you remove weeds before planting?

A: We use a combination of manual removal, mechanical tools, and targeted treatments to eliminate surface weeds and roots. For long-term control, we may recommend mulch or composting layers to suppress regrowth.

Q: Do you use herbicides?

A: Yes, when necessary. We use targeted, environmentally friendly herbicides and offer pet-safe and kid-safe options upon request. We only apply them where appropriate and in compliance with local safety guidelines.

Q: What kind of soil amendments do you use?

A: We add compost, organic material, or soil conditioners depending on the needs of your soil. If you’re preparing for planting or turf, this helps improve moisture retention, nutrient content, and soil structure.

Q: Do you offer tilling or aeration?

A: Yes. We provide deep tilling, rototilling, and aeration services to break up compacted soil and prepare the area for healthy root growth and proper drainage.

Q: Can I plant flowers or vegetables after you prep the soil?

A: Absolutely. We can prep raised beds, in-ground garden rows, or planters. Our process ensures your soil is free of weeds, properly graded, and nutrient-rich for vegetables, flowers, or ornamental plants.

Q: How do I prevent weeds from coming back?

A: We recommend using mulch, landscape fabric, or ground covers such as rock or bark to block sunlight and reduce weed regrowth. We also offer ongoing maintenance services to keep your yard clean and weed-free year-round.
