Conquering Weeds
Team GreenSpace to the rescue!
You probably know by now that something gets done in only a couple of ways: do it yourself or hire someone to do it.
When we do something ourselves, we save money and gain satisfaction. We also spend a lot of time and energy on a project that often takes a long time to complete.
When we hire out a project, people who specialize in the work get it done! It’s money worth spending for a feeling of satisfaction and relief.
This GreenSpace garden care client enjoys gardening but was overwhelmed by the volume of work required to remove and manage the weeds and tend the numerous perennials. Never fear – Team GreenSpace is here!
Methods for removing & preventing weeds
After we eliminated the weeds and tree saplings, we spread newspaper on the cleared soil.
The newspaper will prohibit weed seeds from germinating and will decompose into the soil over time. Mulch was spread on top of the newspaper to hold the paper in place, retain moisture, and provide the garden with a finished look.
Now our client can spend a reasonable amount of time enjoying tending her garden! Take a look at the transformation from a weed-choked mess to a neat and tidy garden where plants can thrive.
Almost every plant you see in this photo appears to be a ground cover but is actually a weed.
Most of these plants are weeds, including the menace Garlic mustard (Alliaria petiolate).
Newspaper placed on top of weeded gardens serves to prevent weeds and weed seeds from growing.
Mulch is placed over the newspaper to keep the paper in place, retain moisture, and provide a pleasing, finished look to the gardens.
