People will disagree over just about everything, but one thing that probably everyone can agree on is that when spring and summer arrive, weeds are a huge annoyance. Weeds are just so frustrating in their ability to appear and constantly reappear even after it seems we have done everything possible to keep them out of our lawns and gardens. And here in Florida, there are many different types of weeds and each one is just as frustrating as the next.
Weeds are annoying not only due to their ability to spring up where they aren’t wanted, but because of how they choke out grass and other desirable plants. Weeds grow up tough and grab at water and nutrients before other plants can get to them. Some will literally grow around other plants and crush them to death. The variety of weeds can be staggering when you have a lot going on in your yard. So what can you do to get rid of them?
Go Solo or Find Help?
A lot of people try to handle the problem on their own before ever contacting outside help. Some people never contact outside help even though a few professional visits can go a long way. One of the main issues with doing it yourself is that you may find yourself in the weed killer section gazing at all the different types of weed killers.
Which one do you choose? Which one won’t kill your grass? Will that same one also spare your flowers? How toxic are some of the products? Do you need to worry about letting your pets or children play on the grass after spraying? Will the product be harmful to other helpful animals and insects that live and eat in the area?
There is a lot to think about and sometimes, even after all that thinking, you may believe you got the right product only to realize that it kills everything in the immediate area. Or maybe it’s too weak or you didn’t use enough, so instead it did absolutely nothing. Killing weeds on your own can be costly and doing it yourself can be tough on your body, especially after a long day’s work. This is precisely why contacting a lawn care service can ultimately be the right choice.
How Lawn Care Works
You can get a lot from a lawn care service – all you have to do is let them know what you want done. If weed control is all you need, then that is all they will provide at a reasonable cost. What’s more, many lawn care companies use eco-friendly products that you may not be able to find in a store. They may carry a variety of products that are specific to the weeds that need to be removed. Talk to them about how they intend to keep your lawn weed free and you will discover that their methods will save you a great deal of money when compared to most of the do-it-yourself methods. In addition to this, lawn care specialists know what to look for when it comes to yard pests.
This means you may have never noticed the growing population of chinch bugs while pulling weeds, but they will. Many lawn care services also offer lawn pest services so there’s no need to contact a new company. Pests and weeds are taken care of at once so your lawn can continue to look thick, green, and amazing all year long.
