Stop Them From Coming Back
Bare soil grows weeds. Fill the space with plants and mulch and you will have far fewer. Most weeds we pull come from a gap in coverage or a leaky valve.
Parkways And Cracks
Parkways are hard because of foot traffic and sun. A native plant parkway is free through the Long Beach Utilities program if you still have living turf to replace.
Questions We Hear
Is there a free option for my parkway?
Yes. The city memo describes a free Native Plant Parkway Program with plants, mulch and stepping stones provided.
