Tired of Weeds in Your Mulch or Rock Beds? Here’s How Malterer’s Landscaping Can Help

You’ve invested in a well-designed landscape, but now your mulch or decorative rock beds are overrun with weeds. It’s a frustrating problem that makes your property look unkempt, even when the rest of your yard is well maintained.

At Malterer’s Landscaping, we see this issue all the time—and we know exactly how to tackle it. Whether it’s a few problem areas or a full-blown takeover, our team provides comprehensive weed control solutions that restore the beauty and health of your landscape.

Why Are Weeds Growing Through Mulch or Rocks?

Despite what many homeowners think, mulch and rock alone don’t stop weeds. Weeds are extremely resilient and opportunistic. Here are the most common causes we see in the field:

• Mulch breaks down over time, creating rich organic material where weeds thrive.
• Rock beds trap soil, leaves, and debris, giving seeds just enough footing to sprout.
• Wind and birds constantly introduce new seeds onto the surface of your beds.
• Poor or deteriorated weed barrier fabric allows weeds to root beneath the mulch or rock.

Even with the right materials in place, weeds can sneak through if proper installation and maintenance aren’t performed.

Malterer’s Landscaping: Your Weed Control Experts

We provide a proven, step-by-step approach to eliminate weeds and keep your landscaping beds looking clean, polished, and low-maintenance.

Here's how Malterer’s can help:

1. Weed Identification & Targeted Removal

Our team starts with a site evaluation to determine what types of weeds are present and how deep the issue goes. We’ll hand-remove or spot-treat problem areas, ensuring roots are extracted where possible to prevent regrowth.

2. Rock and Mulch Bed Cleanout

We rake out and clean your rock or mulch beds, removing debris, decomposed material, and soil buildup that fuels weed growth. In rock beds, we can also wash and reset the stone to remove hidden weed roots and sediment.

3. Professional Weed Barrier Installation

If needed, we’ll install premium-grade landscape fabric—not the flimsy plastic sheeting that suffocates soil. We ensure tight seams, secure stapling, and custom cuts around existing plantings for a seamless, long-lasting barrier.

4. Fresh Mulch or Rock Application

Once prepped, we’ll apply a clean layer of high-quality mulch or decorative stone, restoring curb appeal while improving weed suppression and soil insulation.

5. Pre-Emergent Treatment

To lock in results, we apply commercial-grade pre-emergents that prevent new weed seeds from germinating. This proactive treatment helps maintain a clean look through the growing season.

Preventative Maintenance Packages

We don’t just fix the issue—we help you stay ahead of it. Malterer’s offers scheduled maintenance programs that include:

• Seasonal bed inspections
• Light weeding and touch-up treatments
• Mulch top-offs or rock bed refreshes
