Is pulling weeds a waste of time?

• <div><p>No, definitely not. Pulling weeds by hand is the single most effective way to remove them because you're eliminating the entire plant—roots and all—so it won’t have a chance to grow or spread. Setting time aside a few times per week to pull weeds can keep them at bay. If the number of weeds gets overwhelming, then you can resort to other methods. </p></div>

I hired Susy to do a big spring yard clean up. The yard had become overgrown with cleavers and other weeds and the drip system needed to be turned on. She worked all day and did a great job. The bushes were cut back, leaves blown away from walkways and weeds pulled. Thanks so much!

Consult your weed removal pro for an exact timeline based on their weed removal method.
