Weed Control
Get on top of weeds before they get on top of you
To keep weeds under control in your lawns and gardens, we recommend a combination of manual weeding, mulching and herbicide application. We offer three types of weed control service:
General weed spray
Applied on hard surfaces such as footpaths, driveways and paved areas to kill weeds growing through cracks. We can also carefully spray unwanted weeds in garden beds, around fence lines, behind sheds, and any other area where trimming or mowing is unsafe or impractical.
Note: this service does not include spraying of lawns for bindii and clover — that's covered by the selective weed spray below.
Selective weed spray
We use a selective herbicide to control broad-leaf weeds in your lawn — including bindii and clover. This is most effective when the weeds are growing vigorously and before flowering. In some cases more than one application may be required, particularly for established infestations.
Regular mowing combined with seasonal herbicide applications will keep most lawns largely weed-free. The healthier and thicker your lawn, the less opportunity weeds have to establish themselves.
Hand weeding
Available during the cooler months when lawns aren't growing, this service involves pulling weeds from garden beds by hand. Hand weeding is very thorough but time-consuming — and for that reason it can be more expensive. Some customers choose to have small sections done at regular intervals to spread the cost over time.
The most effective long-term approach
For weeds like clover that spread quickly, the best strategy is to catch them early. As soon as you see a small clover plant, pull it out — it takes seconds and saves a lot of time and money in the long run. Combined with regular mowing at the right height and occasional herbicide applications, most lawns can be kept in great shape year round.
