Weed Control and Lawn Maintenance Services

Weed control is an ongoing problem for yards and gardens. If left unattended the weeds will take over your yard and will compete with the grass or plants for water and nutrients. Over time, your grass and foliage can stop growing and even die if weeds are not managed. Weeds also attract disease and pests.
 
Why Hire a Weed Control Service

Your lawn will require aerating, dethatching, seeding, pest and weed control every spring, followed by an end-of-season maintenance.  You will find that controlling weeds yourself can be very time-consuming and the intensive labor puts pressure on your hands, knees, and back. 
Lawn maintenance services will evaluate your yard and document the types of weeds in your yard that are invasive; grassy weeds, broadleaf weeds, crabgrass, chickweed, speedwell and henbit. The service may take a soil test for fungus growth and will examine the yard for pests before discussing with you the organic or chemical treatments that are available for your yard and garden. 
A yard of 3000 square feet would take you approximately 30 hours in the spring to clean up your yard and gardens. After that, an average of three to six hours per week will be needed to keep your yard and gardens weed-free and maintained. If you are on a tight schedule or you don’t enjoy being outside working then hiring a lawn care service will help you.

Choosing the Right Service

A lawn maintenance service should be knowledgeable and have excellent references. There should be an upfront estimate and explanation of the services, as well as a guarantee of satisfaction.
A weed control service will supply all equipment and supplies, including pest control and fertilizer, as well as broadcast granular spreaders or power sprayer for herbicide, pest or fertilizer application.
Depending on your yard and garden requirements, the weed service will keep records on your yard by monitoring the weed growth every 4-8 weeks throughout the growing season. You will receive a statement every time the service contractor checks or treats your yard. A local lawn maintenance service will have an interest in the quality of their work, the conduct of their employees and the satisfaction of their customers, since they are local small business people who have roots and ties to the area.

How Weed Service Benefits You

In many cases, your overall health will improve and your energy level increase, no more sore and achy muscles from working in your yard. A weed control service will allow you time to do the things that you would like to do. A qualified weed-control and landscaping service knows how to safely choose and handle toxic chemicals, as well as how to avoid them as much as possible. You can spend quality time in your yard and garden and take pleasure in a yard that is healthy and weed-free.
