Our highly experienced and professional landscape gardeners will apply a verity of mulches directly to the prepared soil around the plants you want to keep. It Is Your Garden recommends this cost effective and easy to maintain method of weed control which is also suitable for organic gardens.
The use of a weed control membrane is a long term control solution; however it does mean that if you apply a mulch on top the muclh does not get to rot in to the soil and feed your plants. Instead the garden mulch rots down and sits on top of the membrane to feed new weeds. This is why we recommend the use of a stone covering which will only need cleaning and topping up when using a weed control membrane.
By law any person applying 'weedkiller' to any land that is not there own, be they paid or unpaid, must be appropriatelly qualified to do so.
