Mulch & Mulch some more....
The best way to prevent weeds from taking over your yard is to cover them with mulch to keep them Weeds away from sunlight. Mulch keeps the soil for your plant life moist and cool and blocks sunlight so the weeds won’t germinate & multiply. There are several different types of mulch you can use, such as wood chips, pine needles, and straw. However, for appearance & functionality, Landscape Mart carries Hemlock/Fir Bark Mulch which is the ideal choice. Organic mulch such as Composted Bark is also a great option as it attracts crickets and carabid beetles that eat weed seeds. The ideal thickness you’d want to put down is 3 inches minimum for better results 4 to 6 inches. As well as mulching to existing plantings laying down Landscape Fabric is also an added guard of protection against weeds.
