Weed control is removing undesired plants from your lawn or garden.

Weed control may be accomplished through seeding, introducing chemicals, mowing, grubbing, and weeding by hand.

How Frequently Should I Get Weed Control?
This will largely depend on the type of weed problem you face. For example, some weeds are more dense and aggressive than others. However, most weeds will only grow when conditions are favourable. This means that they will grow and possibly spread if they are not killed or inhibited.
Some weed control services are only performed once every couple of years. These are typically found in urban areas, where the threats of invasive weeds are limited. Other services, which are more frequent, are usually needed on larger farms or agricultural areas, where weeds are more prevalent.

Types of Weed Control Services
Preventative Weed Control: Taking preventative weed control measures reduces the need for more expensive and damaging treatments later. Staples in our preventive weed control program include scouting, sanitation, and the use of contact and residual chemicals. We also offer customized seed treatments to prevent the spread of weeds throughout a new planting.
Mechanical Weed Control: Mechanical weed control reduces the size of or destroys weeds by cutting, pulling, or mowing them. It involves using farm equipment such as a tractor, tiller, or motorized grubber to control weeds on fields. The earliest mechanical weed control methods involved cultivating the earth with a horse-drawn plow and hoe.
Chemical Weed Control: Chemical weed control is defined as any technique that involves the application of a herbicide to weeds or soil to control the germination or growth of the weed. It’s a popular technique among homeowners who want an effective and quick solution for their weed problems.
Biological Control: Biological weed control services harness the power of naturally occurring organisms to fight weeds while rewarding your garden with a healthy, thriving ecosystem. Some good biological control options for various weed types include: Using a rolling hoe to prevent weed seed from receiving light, thus preventing germination, planting cover crops that help to prevent the growth of weeds, irrigating certain soil types to increase competition for the water supply, and use of a fertilizer that reduces the weeds’ competitive ability.
Cultural Weed Control: Cultural controls are the most widely used weed control method. These include crop rotation, good soil and water management, beneficial plant interplanted for weed suppression, mechanical cultivation of the soil, and harvesting strategies.
