When you think of weeds, the first thing you usually picture is them growing on a lawn with grass. However, if there's soil, they can grow, meaning they can also take over areas like landscape beds with a rock ground covering and lawns replaced with rocks, which is common here in Colorado. So, before installing this ground cover, you can use a weed barrier between the soil and rocks to prevent that from happening. If you've already installed them and weeds are surfacing in between, you'll want to utilize pre- and post-emergent weed control treatments. On the other hand, you can hire pros to tackle weed growth in your rock areas to make your life easier and get the best results!

Use a weed barrier before installing a rock ground covering to keep weeds from growing.

Weeds are unsightly and can drag down your property's curb appeal, making it look unkempt. Unfortunately, they aren't limited to only lawns with grass, so if you plan to install rocks, you'll want to take proactive measures to keep them from growing in between. To do this, you can use a weed barrier, laying it atop the soil where your rock ground covering will go. As the name implies, this will create a barrier that prevents weeds from sprouting above the surface and growing in your rock areas.

Some common weeds in Colorado include dandelions, clover, chickweed, crabgrass, and foxtail.

If you already have a rock ground covering and weeds are surfacing, turn to weed control treatments!

If you already have a rock ground covering in your landscape beds or replaced your lawn with them and are seeing weeds pop through, you'll want to turn to weed control treatments. There are two types of treatments: pre- and post-emergent. Pre-emergents prevent weeds from surfacing, while post-emergents eliminate any existing growth. You'll want to utilize both, as the former reduces how many grow in the first place, saving you from having to use the latter as frequently. With these treatments, you can keep pesky weeds from overrunning your rock areas!
