Your home’s landscape is the product of planning, financial investment, and commitment to maintenance. Unfortunately, weeds can crop up on any property, disrupting beautiful lawns and making hardscaped areas look unkempt.
You may consider several potential solutions for these unwanted plants, but in this blog we discuss six reasons to opt for professional weed control over other common options.
- Access to High-Quality Solutions
Most homeowners have two primary options for weed control: professional or DIY. When you opt to handle weed control on your own, you must work with the tools you already have and the solutions you can afford. This approach often requires long periods of trial and error that waste both time and money.
When you work with professionals, you benefit from all the equipment, chemical treatments, and expertise that the team brings to the table. You may have access to organic and industrial-grade treatments that you otherwise may not invest in. Additionally, professional weed control efforts often work more quickly and more effectively in the long run.
- Early Detection of Serious Infestations
Lawn and yard service company employees are more than just weed pullers. Many companies employ arborists, landscapers, and other experts in the field with years of experience. These professionals notice symptoms of serious outdoor problems well before the average layperson.
Early detection of invasive species, insect infestations, and rot can ensure that your yard receives the treatment it needs right away.
- Easier Weed Removal in Difficult Areas
In addition to caring for your lawn, professional weed control companies also handle unwanted plants in more difficult areas. A weed control expert can help with a range of difficult areas, including:
- Flowerbeds
- Gravel and river rock beds
- Mulched areas
- Retaining walls
- Walkways and driveways
Consult with a reputable weed control company to determine the best approach for your yard.
- Focus on Prevention
Many of the products available to DIYers are designed for rapid results. However, those quick fixes don’t guarantee that the weeds won’t return once the chemical wears off.
As mentioned in section two, weed control teams include plant experts. These professionals can provide you with services and recommendations that reduce the risk of weed problems in the future.
- Protection for Your Other Plants
Many weeds have large root systems that make them difficult to remove without uprooting other plants. Some weeds can even attack desirable plants, starving your shrubs, trees, or flowers of oxygen and essential nutrients.
Proactive weed control protects your plants from long-term exposure to harmful weeds. Additionally, professional removal minimizes the damage that stubborn weeds can do to your soil, plants, and landscaping.
- Solutions Specific to Your Yard
Many DIYers rely on Internet resources to determine the best way to tackle tough weed infestations. However, most Internet sources have a general focus and present solutions that simply may not work for your climate or yard topography. These general sources may provide half-solutions or lack enough insight to offer any lasting help at all.
Weed control experts have extensive knowledge of local plant species and weather conditions so their treatments are actually designed for the climate you live in. Additionally, many weed control experts survey your property ahead of time so they can anticipate any challenges that may arise due to the layout of your yard or the existing plants.
As you look for the best way to keep your yard beautiful and healthy, consider handing the task of weed removal and prevention over to trained technicians.
