Weeding & Mulching

Weeding is one of those daunting tasks that most people just hate doing. Here at Elite Scapes we love weeding because of the benefits to the look of your garden.

There is many ways to approach different types of weed to insure they don’t return Paving for instance the only way to effectively remove  them is to spray with weed killer. In the garden beds where you may have existing plants we tend not to spray because with wind and so forth you end up with over spray and generally it is not good for the soil. In these areas we prefer to hand weed. When hand weeding care must be taken with seed heads and tap roots. If weed are not removed they simple return for another day shortly after and you have wasted your time effort and worst of all your money.

At Elite Scapes all our staff are trained in this department so that we minimise the amount of time and money you spend in your garden, After all your garden is there for you, you family and your friends to enjoy.

Mulching. We highly recommend using good quality mulch and there are many benefits such as water retention with in times of drought and water restrictions is very helpful, reducing weed regrowth by smothering the weeds from light, the aesthetic value it just looks great and comes in a number of varieties of colours and it also breaks down to add more nutrients to your garden it turn helping the growth of the plants. What more can i say its a  great product and is well worth doing in every garden.

Types of mulch There are too many types of mulch to list but they come under two separate heading there is mulch that is made by chippings from trees which comes in a straight chip, or treated and coloured. These  are the most typical types you see around.

The second type are the tee tree and sugar cane type mulches. Theses types of mulches tend to break down a lot quicker than the wood chip type but there is a benefit to that. These mulches are high in nutrients and they are very popular to gardening enthusiasts.
